This is exactly right and only goes to support the point. The thing is that the top clubs don’t have this problem. They are able to field competitive teams in all grades. Why ? Because they actually have a team of NRL ready and able players playing in their NRL team so they don’t play their jersey flegg or cup players - and those players get time to develop properly until they earn the right to play NRL.
This doesn’t stop or block any outstanding juniors from playing 1st grade as you can see across the board in many clubs.

Isn't it a stupid thing have our 2nd grade split into 2 different teams, Balmain and West, it's been 25yrs since our clubs amalgamated and we still have this stupid setup.
It's time our older section of the club let go of the past and moved into the future.
We became West Tigers in 1999 let's forget we are Balmain or Western Suburbs, And finally accept we are ONE,
WEST TIGERS.
one team in each grade,
No more fighting each other.

Moses in career best form of late … he is really playing at the level of one of the best players in the comp…

Luai is playing well… but not as much talent as the likes of Moses and say Hughes … but really glad he is coming next year though …

Carried on like a bit of a pork chop considering they lost to Knights. The hype around Moses needs to be tempered. He scored two tries playing centre.

I’ll pat him on the back if he backs up that origin performance. QLD were god awful.

Well before Taylor. Well before all the Tallis noise. New player was a clean skin, well liked guy.

Let’s just drop it. As fans who hear bits and pieces we will never know.

I would LOVE Farah to end up the best assistant coach in history.

Anyone think if he already had his head down that he didn't even notice him?

Isn’t that only if we agree to pay their remaining salary that was on our cap for the rest of the year?

Rephrase, isn’t it only if we include their salary as our cap total for the remainder of the year.
Ie we still need to fulfill the 95% salary cap floor quota.

Nothing to do with paying the remaining salary, there gone. But you are right we do need to spend 95% of our salary cap.

Funny that there is no criticism for the Sharks overpaying for Hynes. His reported figure is around 1.2m which is very similar to Luai’s salary for for us.

I know who I’d rather have.

Hynes has been at Cronulla since 2022.
They have played finals in 22 and 23. This year they have been at the pointy end most of the season and are still in the top 4.
Let’s see how Luai goes before throwing stones.

It’s an interesting situation and I see both sides of it.

A. Magpies history is well worth preserving.

B. We want kids to come through wanting to play for our jersey or not?

I think history is important in more ways than one. I know a lot of Leichhardt Wanderers old boys who always turn up to Blackmore oval in droves and run a great club. All those LW juniors are hell bent on playing NRL for Wests Tigers. Even Kyle Lovett is still admired at that place for making NRL.
 
I don't really care about Fiji but Benji should be at lower grade games. That's just basic fundamentals of being a 1st grade coach. It's about valuing the squad, showing leadership in the club, being involved. Is it true he wasn't there yesterday? That's just really bad.

Some character issues showing up in Hynes game. Missing point blank field goals etc. Bellamy and that crystal ball.

The guy is a choker, not handling pressure too well.

Fittler started him on the downward spiral in Origin last year, hasn't been the same since.
