OFFICIAL Jersey Flegg Cup

[Needaname]

Remember Benji was still at high school when he debuted in the NRL. School is a hindrance but not an immovable obstacle for playing footy

Do you honestly see a ‘Benji’ type talent amongst this group. The closest is Large in my opinion but he is much younger. Mason and Da Sliva next best but more in your solid mould of outstanding young players not break out superstar’s.

To King Robbie and Balmain Boy has does Jay kirk go??

As others have said he's solid, fast and tall. as he keeps filling out he should get more powerful. He's got a bit to work with but also a fair bit to work on.

Don't see him making first grade but can see him playing NSW cup and if he keeps working really hard who knows

No not a Benji type per day skillwise, but was just pointing out that if a player is good enough to play so higher grades then their schooling ultimately doesn't get in the way of that.
They might not play the full season, breaks when exams are on etc, but they can still play whatever grade they're good enough for

@KingRobbie which of the Wests SGball boys are still finishing year 12? Would that have an impact in playing consistently in the Flegg team and not in and out on occasion.
Actually do you have the details / ages of the SG boys that are on the NRL Train and trial deals?

A lot of the good ones are turning 18 this year, so I assume a lot of them are still in school.

Based off how much of the pre-season they did with NRL though:

Saukuru - Part-time NRL, 19 years old this year.

Faagutu - Part-time NRL, 19 years old this year.

Da Silva - Full-time NRL, 18 years old this year.

Laulilii - Full-time NRL, 18 years old this year.

Miller - Full-time NRL, 18 years old this year.

Feledy - Full-time NRL, 19 years old this year.

Sukkar - Full-time NRL, 19 years old this year.

Lawry - Part-time NRL, 19 years old this year (I think).

Hear anything about Faagutu injury?

 

[KingRobbie]

Hear anything about Faagutu injury?

Nah I haven’t, @balmain boy said he was waiting for scans, last time I heard.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Flegg a full time comp I.e it’s their day job. Or is it training in the evenings? Could of changed since they dumped the national 20s to part time.

Mason and Galvin must be a year younger? I thought they were also on the same trajectory?

 

[KingRobbie]

Nah, Mason and Galvin are the same age as Da Silva, Miller, Laulilii etc.

I think them not participating in NRL sessions is more a “body probably isn’t up to it yet” thing.

Both have quite slight frames and have some filling out to do.

 

[thegbone]

Kit Laulilii was training with the NRl squad yesterday from their inst reels. Wonder how many more have moved across.

 

[KingRobbie]

Da Silva and Laulilii will make their Flegg debuts off the bench this weekend.

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Da Silva and Laulilii will make their Flegg debuts off the bench this weekend.

Fantastic! Makes that game more interesting now!

 

[finnzo]

I thought Finnley was really impressive keen to see how he goes in flegg

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Da Silva and Laulilii will make their Flegg debuts off the bench this weekend.

Is that Kit Laulilii? Hes a fullback right?

Why did they dump it . With most of us can’t get enough I’m sure the 20s would rate well

 

[KingRobbie]

Kit Laulilii is the one making his Flegg debut, he's a lock forward.

Was captain of Wests Harold Matts premiership-winning team from last year, and captained Wests SG Ball in his first season at that level, this year.

Luke Laulilii is his younger brother, a fullback, who was captain of Wests Harold Matts this year.

 

[Roar_Power]

Pretty sure he is a lock/ 2nd row.

Thanks KR, sounds like some young fellas to get excited about.
