Alex Lobb returns from concussion protocols. Heath Mason named at 5/8 again, hopefully gets a run there this week.

Rahme & Noah Johannssen start at prop in place of Aho & Kit (injured & concussion protocols).

Interesting that Payne selects the likes of Luke Jack, Jayden Tanner & Jirah Momoisea from the extended Magpies training squad in Ron Massey than the likes of Mitch Taotua & Lachlan Broederlow from Flegg.

Maybe the club figures that playing with the KOE rabble will be detrimental to their development!

The Flegg team is a rabble themselves at the moment.
Whoever is building these teams needs to find a new occupation.

I honestly think we could create a dedicated fan team that could identify and structure the teams better than what these coaches/recruitment staff guys have been doing.

It looks like they are totally reactive and focusing week on week.

As we continue to advertise being development pathway to nrl club we are doing an absolute crap job at showing and setting the example of it.
 
Funny to think we are so lacking middles in nsw cup but Tanner on the bench played nrl for the dogs last year and Momoisea has played nrl for both knights and eels so both have potential. Jaxon Rahme is only 21 and this is his 3rd full yr of nsw cup and all behind Kit and Vaha Ako
 
Magpies didn't touch the ball in the first 5 mins and Panthers scores up 6-0 after 9 mins.

Good break down the edge by Izaac Tuitupou after a lovely pass by Max Tatoua but Faatape spilled it just after.
 
Magpies had 4 scrums on a row on panthers 10m - we messed up the first 3 but luckily each time a panther hand got in the way of a poor magpies play from the scrums. On the 4th set we play out the 6 but never really look like scoring. It's possible watching it that our players have never met each other somehow we get another set and knock it on play 1. So many opportunities and so little effective play and then give away a penalty and Panthers into our half
 
What a horrific half of footy, we were lucky to go 2 tackles without dropping the ball.

Matamua did make a good bust after coming on late and the props in Rahme and Johannsson played OK but other then that it was woeful handling everywhere

It's pretty disheartening the disjointed & intentless effort (to the regular observer) this team is putting up week after week.

The likes of Falls, Hope & Faataape made basic skill errors. We have no middles with any impact (yes we have some injuries), our line speed is poor, the players do not show mongrel or aggression to spur one another on, some of our defensive efforts in behind the ruck just lack intent & effort, and our execution of structured play is deplorable.

As someone mentioned last week, our players play like they are closer to Ron Massey Cup level than NRL.

I do feel that if we had some big, powerful, aggressive & NRL experienced middles in this team, the likes of Falls, Hope & Mason would perform a lot better on the back of them.

In terms of positives, Krystian Mapapalangi was a shining light, has skill, speed & x-factor highlighted by his great individual chip'n chase try from nothing. Played both fullback and right centre when Faataape went off injured.

Young Max Taotua looks a likely type too. Had some very good moments especially with his fast hands to put his winger away a couple of times & made some good metres in his runs. Gave Daine Laurie too much space to his outside in a poor defensive read & one poor knock-on coming out of yardage but he's just got that somehting about him.

The Taotua twins are must keeps!

Elie El Zakhem was up and down today but once again the pick of our forwards. Has a very good offload in him but a couple of times an offload or hands let him down.

No one else is worth mentioning today except Tui'tupou with some impressive runs.

I think we all know Richo is a pretty common sense operator and no doubt he would asking questions about the efforts Cup & Flegg have been delivering.

The Entire KOE squad needs to be moved on starting with the coach…
 
I thought we invested heavily in our pathways a few years back handing that responsibility to Brett Kimmorley….what has he yielded?
