ugly win for Wests SG Ball but good signs that there's an ability to find another gear when the going gets tough. thought the forward pack played well as a unit and Paea was lively once again at the back.
a win against Manly this week will have them in contention for the 8 after a very slow start. regardless of whether Pheonix and Christian go up they should be winning.

I was out at Brooky yesterday and Manly got monstered by Souths.
While he was playing in a well beaten side, Onitoni Large was hugely disappointing.
The kid has all the attributes yet continues to play in a dinner suit.
I didn't notice him taking the line on once in the opening half.
In saying that he'll probably have a blinder against us.
Souths are getting better and better and their clash with Parramatta this weekend should be a beauty.
I watched bits and pieces of this game on BarTV and as you say the Rabbitohs are a very good team with plenty of size, speed and a couple of rising superstars in centre Dayne Jennings and 5/8 Taj Alvarez who was out injured when they played Wests Magpies.
I agree Onitoni Large was virtually invisible which is not uncommon for him when his team is being dominated.
I’ve been saying it since I first watched him as a 16y.o playing for Wests Magpies, he is not a 5/8 as he stops running when his team is under the pump, he should be playing fullback to reduce his playmaking responsibility and force him to use his strength which is running the ball.
He has looked as dangerous as ever when running the ball this season, but does not do it near enough and I’d say that is part of the reason why Manly are keeping him playing SG Ball to give him a kick up the backside when a couple of others have already been promoted.
I still think he could be an elite NRL quality fullback if he changes position sometime soon.
I’m near certain the Rabbitohs have Dayne Jennings contracted for a few years, but he is an elite talent being a big, tall, strong, fast and skilful right centre.
I think he will play NRL later this season if the Rabbitohs get a few injuries to their outside backs.

Of course both these fine young gents are from Terrigal
Start bottling the lagoon water footy fans
We might need HBG to put you on the payroll as a Terrigal based talent scout 😎

It’s been a long time between drinks for Wests.
I think the last Terrigal Shark to wear our colours
was the great Tim Moltzen
It’s a very good talent producing club with the likes of Scott Drinkwater in recent years.
In all seriousness you would hope our club being Wests Tigers is casting our junior talent net far and wide and not leaving hot spots such as the Central Coast just for the likes of the Roosters and Rabbitohs, particularly when we have a Central Coast local in Shaun Miekekamp now in charge.
As I’m sure you would know there is a large number of ex Balmain district people now living on the Central Coast and I assume there is also a decent number of ex Western Suburbs district people living there too.
On a side note if our NRL team beat the Cowboys on Saturday, I’d say our following game at Gosford against the Bunnies will sell out very quickly as they also have plenty of support and ex South Sydney people on the Central Coast.

Souths & Manly seem to have a pipeline into Terrigal of late. Benji Keene-Okeefe & Aymn Hamilton in Manly Flegg side and the aforementioned lads at Souths along with Taj’s brother Corbin and Matt Humphries (who played alongside Makasini at Newington).
But seriously Terrigal is small fry on the Coast. We run near the tail of the ladder in first grade most years. The biggest pool of talent is found at The Entrance, Wyong, Kincumber etc
Yeah I know Benji Keane-O’Keefe’s family and my cousin has had plenty to do with the Wyong Roos over the years.
There has always been plenty of good young talent on the Central Coast and it’s only getting stronger.
I hope Wests Tigers don’t forget to tap in and get our share.
