Wests lead 14-10 at half time.
Laurie hasn’t looked out of place in the halves.

Idk, still looks lazy to me.

 

[BalmainJnr]

Out playing blore.

Seyfarth unlucky not to be in first grade.

Best on field.

Seyfarth doesn’t have enough power to be a regular first grade middle for mine.

I know what you mean pity he can't add that bit of power. Very fit and good defender.

Yeah gets himself in the right areas and works hard. Just doesn’t seem to be able to win the initial contact with or without the ball often enough.

 

[BalmainJnr]

Idk, still looks lazy to me.

One of the reasons he’s in reggies I’d say.

 

[Todd Packer]

Do our blokes train with a 30m in goal. Every kick goes dead.

 

[Todd Packer]

Has Israel Ogden ever played a decent game?
Blore does absolutely nothing in reggies just like he does in the NRL.

 

[Stevec]

What a mis tackle causing Blacktown 3rd try big useless prop arm grabbing think that's Tuki

 

[Todd Packer]

And Blore scores ha ha.

 

[Vicious]

I think Blore has a good future as an NRL top 17 regular, but he’s a bit one dimensional, would be nice to see him add a jink or a step when he runs the ball.
Nice try he just scored off a Laurie short ball.
On a side note young Manly centre Fletcher Myers looks to have some talent, maybe try an immediate swap him for Talau ?

 

[Todd Packer]

He scored a try but Blore has really been poor.
So uninvolved and tackling like a soft fluffy pillow.
I can't work out what he offers to an NRL team.

 

[Todd Packer]

Saukuru can be turned into an Olam with a bit of polish

 

[Qwertyrick]

Riley good defence

100% agree on that.
Tuki Simpkins could also do some damage as an impact player at NRL level, he’s a big beast with some footwork and skill.
Roumanos under rated, he’s a good solid worker who has good leg speed when running the ball,

Good win by the Magpies. In the forwards Mansfield was good, Matamua won't be long before he is a nrl regular, Seyfarth is all effort all the time.

Laurie showed a lot in his first game at 5/8. Heavily involved, defended well, made a good break through the last pass for a couple of tries, moved the ball quickly and was always talking - needs some more time in the position but I liked it more then I thought I would. Nofa was busy and ran hard and worked hard which was great to see. Sakuru is a big lad and dangerous with the ball but needs to be fitter - reminds me of Talakai but struggles in defence because he isn't fit enough. The rest meh

 

[Stevec]

Well that's 2 games in a row that I rate Saukaru
We are in desperate need of centers in the NRL .Can he make the step up ?
Like to find out .

Laurie's defence surprised me. I always thought he would struggle in the front line but he was strong and willing. May be different with proper first graders running at him all game.

 

[balmain boy]

What a disappointing performance. Really there weren't any good performers, everyone showed why they're playing this level.

Nof was shocking. Maybe made 3-4 runs. Looked like he couldn't give a stuff, swap him ASAP.
Laurie also rarely involved. He made a bust off a 2m forward pass, but did manage to play pass the parcel a couple of times close to the line to put someone over.

The guests forwards weren't involved enough, defence was soft up the middle from everyone. Likes of Matamua, Webster Mansfield didn't make enough runs. Blore a one dimensional prop, but was solid.

Smith playing halfback was interesting, his kicking game was much better then Brooks'.

Both sides were average but you look at Manly and despite having DCE, turbo, Schuster, Koula in first grade their spine in NSW cup still includes to prospects in Weekes, Fainu and Humphries. How I wish we had talent like that but we stopped recruiting for lower grades years ago

He's probably a prop rather than a second rower
