Roosters are about to go ahead 24-22. The ref is d*ckriding them hard. Some awful decisions.

These jersey flegg refs give up begrudging respect for the first grade clowns, so pathetically bad are they.

Despite their mid-table position, the Roosters team is one of the most talented in the comp. They're cruising to victory now, aided by some appalling decisions.
Roosters a really big team . We gave away a lot of possession meaning they were able to wear us down . Solomon Sakkuru very good Haywood good . Broaderlow as usual lurked wherever the play wasn’t . Young fullback tried hard ( a replacement I think)

Wests Tigers led by 10 then Roosters had all momentum from 50-65th minute thanks to the officiating. Broederlow did the team no favours with 2 crucial handling errors in 2nd half, one during the Roosters momentum & the 2nd when we were attacking with 10 to go.
Don’t always notice the details when here live, however Solomone and Logan looked the best, winger Jack Nicholas also good

Agree with these 3 plus Iverson Matai. Was classy in attack & had a hand in each of our tries. The lock duo of Leatigaga & Lanyon were also strong.

Hey BWG,
Did Feledy play centre and is his D any better when he plays in his age group?

He played off the bench in NSW Cup (moved up when May was withdrawn) and came on when Naden came off in last 10 mins. He's been going alright this season & defence has improved as his body has strengthened up. Just doesn't seem to offer much variety in attack.

He seemed to have a knack of finding the line, so I’ve always hoped he just might be a late bloomer in D. But ya guys who watch these young blokes haven’t had much good news about him lately. He’s another one you doesn’t seem to have fixed his flaws, is that on us?

I just don't think he has much to his arsenal. Plays like just a solid NSW Cup level player. But he could be one of those who just keeps developing slowly and becomes a good player 28-30 in a squad in a few years.
I think he could become a similar player to Euan Aitken and be of value as a back rower/centre if he could add a couple of kilos to his frame.
As BWG has mentioned he has improved his defence and just seems a touch slow for a shorter, smaller centre, but he still manages to break plenty of tackles with his strength.
He hasn’t done enough to keep his top 30 position, but I would definitely consider keeping him on a lower tier contract.

Good call V, that might be what he needs to do. I think Tartak will try to slot him in at another club maybe the Eels since he got them TDS.

Development player contracts. Cap is $650,000 for at least four, maximum six players, paid $80,000, can play from Round 1. Bonus of $3,000 for any NRL game.
I think $125K may be the maximum including NRL match payments.

tbh haven't focused in on him much this season. Played ok last week at 5/8 in Flegg. Seems a good hooker/halves utility prospect, nothing outstanding about his game but has another year in Flegg next season to develop. Behind Haywood, Matai, Liles, Lanyon & Tannous in the Flegg hooker, halves pecking order but offers versatility.
