A look at this weekend's matches for our pathways and senior representative teams.

100%Shame for Wests going down to Parra in the semi, were the better team but just couldnt ice the important moments. Losing Faguutu in the first half hurt them in the back end of the game. I read that half the Eels team had played Flegg or NSW cup so they were much more experienced then the Magpies who have 8 of the 13 in their first year of Ball.
Kit Laulili and Tallyn Da Silva are moving upto Flegg this week and would say a few other others will join them in the coming weeks
I realise we certainly need to develop players and in ideal world that is fantastic but f**k, the club needs to do better now, not in 5 f**king years.100%
Putting results aside Wests are doing the best thing with these kids in development. This is a massive step up from SG to Flegg. Usually they would go back to club footy and probably go through the motions but keeping the intensity up in training and preperation by having them Flegg is the best thing for them. You have to remember that they were training for the SG Ball campaign which is 9 weeks plus Semis, now going into the Flegg squad, their season doesnt finish till August then its Semis so conditioning and endurance might have to change.
I can see Faguutu and Da Silva maybe getting a couple of games off the bench for NSW cup but Laualilii and Millar might get held back and stay in Flegg. Have to remember these guys are only turning 18 this year.
Also Sol Saukuru has gone to Flegg as well. He can handle it easy.
Also Tallyn Da Silva has been appointed an assistant Coach for Wests Tigers U14s for this season. In 1 of my previous posts i mentioned that these teams train once a week and play maybe 2 games but the intention of putting these teams together is to get them ready for Matts in a couple of years. Love the fact Tallyn is giving back and helping the youth
