2024 Pre-Season

[Kaito]

Any idea where they are training? I'm surprised we're not using the COE facility 24/7

St Luke's Oval. I think after Xmas they'll
go back to the COE. Posts aren't even up

I'm not sure they're NRL prospects. I hate to put a downer on them but very few make it and I think these two are fringe at best.

Just out of curiosity, what makes you think that?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Great. Looks good thus far. Like every pre season. Glad you are all invested.

I don't think they have the physical make up for NRL.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Another expert. Just ask the smallest player in the league. What is the right physical make up I dare ask? Great question WT 2002. But seriously.

There's no single "right" physical makeup, but we'll see I suppose. You can call me out when I'm proven wrong, I won't mind.

Not varsity calibre?

Hey man I appreciate your honesty but I guess we'll just have to wait and see how these boys go

Just saw on Jay Kirk’s Insta stories he & Herman Tofaeono at pre-season training in club gear (not sure if Wests Tigers or Magpies singlets). Could be part of the Magpies NSW Cup pre-season squad as I believe both will be aged out of Flegg next year. Is that right @KingRobbie ?

Awesome to hear that Herman is sticking around. He is a beast!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

So was Asatasi

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Is that his name? Apologies for spelling. That beast that went to Manly.

Kirk is 21 now, so too old for Flegg in ‘24.

Tofaeono is 20, so eligible for one more year of Flegg.

Don’t have them on socials but assume it would be Magpies training if they’re together.

Did he really say that? imagine thinking that would be the standard in any professional sporting organisation that wants to be successful.

Yes. Was making the point that the COE is a one stop shop so players go home earlier than previously. I think he regretted those comments when we looked like we’d never met each other in consecutive Leichhardt losses.

You think or you know?

What’s in the chest cavity and the skull are usually the most important features.

I'm a firm believer; "That a good big man will always beat a good little man"
It will be interesting if they can physically maintain the rage........I hope they can.

One of the reasons I love RL is that it caters for all body shapes across the 17 man squad. Billy Slater at 80kg one of the best to do it. Glen Lazarus built like a brick shit house was amazing. Benji age 18 looked like a broom handle . If only our team could play.
