I haven’t seen enough of our Flegg side this year to form an opinion. I was heading out to watch them against Penrith but they moved venues late and didn’t allow a crowd. The small amount I have seen nobody has jumped out at me. Ethan Sanders is an outstanding prospect still a couple of years away, Joseph O’Neill (Dogs) is another that impresses me. Young Tallyn (Wests Ball) is something special, I am really excited about him I believe he impressed when he trained with the NRL squad at Christmas. Having said that I have seen some absolute stars in junior reps simply not cut it in the NRL. I am planning on getting to a few Flegg games in the next couple of weeks. I will report then

How is that young 7 Lawry going? Wasn’t he training with the NRL side?
 
I find it interesting that west life podcast come out saying Pascoe is gonna step down nothing happens
then a few weeks later Simon cook steps down and west life podcast state how upset they are to see him go and that they are good friends with him
So it would make sense to assume they got the info from cook and the club has put this out to find the snitch and they found there man

We have also got NZ schoolboy halfback Oliver Lawry. Only played 2-3 SG Ball games for Balmain before injuring his ankle. Only just came back last week via Sydney Shield. Will probably play a few games there and then see him in Flegg in 1-2 months. He trained with the NRL squad for a part of the pre-season.

If Lawry is any good I hope we don’t flick him like we did to Lachlan Illias when he injured his ankle.

Yes, we don’t have a good record for retaining talented young players.
From the little I’ve seen of Lawry he could easily make the transition to nrl? Already over 6’, the new breed of halfbacks?

he's very talented. agile and powerful running game, good long pass on both sides and kicks well. I'm pretty disappointed he didn't get a full season of Ball because that would've been great for his development as well as being able to work out where he ranks amongst some decent halfbacks in that league.

personally I think Lawry has the tools to become a first grader, but I think with the players that we have coming through the junior ranks (Large and Conti in particular) that he'll find himself down the pecking order. obviously situations change and hopefully he puts himself in the frame but that's just my take on it.

He did a few sessions with them over pre-season.

Played a few SG Ball games for Balmain and then got injured for the remainder of the season.

Is only just returning now via Sydney Shield and will hopefully make his Jersey Flegg debut later in the year.

I think they should skip the shield comp. Pretty average standard. Some local A grade comps are much better.
