I'm not going to say poor kid, he's stealing a top 30 contract from other players who have worked hard and deserve it.

How? Do you know?
Other than “we are shite as a development club”, which might well be true, but at some stage during the process we can identify good ones, just ask Bellamy he loves developing our raw talent. I’m certain when he needs a new recruit the first place he looks is in the WT basket case for someone who is having their career hampered by our system.
Other than this tape measurements and his fkn nickname 🙄 the WT site has no info on him.
Did “Wills” have one amazing season and got a t30 spot?
Was he an outstanding talent of any kind at any stage of his football career?
Is Wills related in any way to anyone who had any remote connection with our 2005 GF win?

This team hasn't been remotely settled all season. I swear there's half a dozen changes every week. Just no continuity.
They need to put Lanyon in ASAP
He was just a member of the Wests Harold matts winning side. That's it. He was a decent 16 year old when playing against kids but that's about when he peaked.
NRL contracts should have nothing to do with performance in matts. Unless you're a freak like Makasini it should be how you perform in flegg and cup that determines if you get an NRL/development contract.
He's a small, injury prone player but got a bit of pace, poor in defence and under the high ball, and there's just not enough to his game to kick on higher than flegg. And he doesn't deserve a spot in our flegg squad ahead of prospects that might be able to one day play NRL.

Great to bring him back in Flegg. Great young kid that speaks to all the fans he was coming back from concussion protocols so the break will have done him good and coming back to Flegg will be great to get him match fit for Cup and NRL

There must be a club directive about testing players in Jersey Flegg through this middle part of the season even if it's to the detriment of results. To see if they cut the mustard. That has to be the explanation to the constant chopping & changing atm.
We see Jack Nicholas back in Flegg this week after a few weeks of Sydney Shield. Highly rated at the club but gets injured as much as Will Craig (and yes Will Craig got injured again, ankle I think).
Brookes named on wing again, hopefully he comes up this week. Glassie went off a HT against the Roosters, didn't return in 2nd half and not named this week.
Great to see Siotame Havea Jr named to make his Flegg debut. Will be interesting to see if he is played as a dummyhalf / lock utility like he was in SG Ball. Much better as a ballplaying lock.
Sikahele is one to watch. Has been very aggressive on both sides of the ball the past 2 weeks.
Godinet back to Flegg this week after another taste of Cup.
Disappointing that Riley Oitmann hasn't been played since a couple of dominating performances about a month ago. He is playing his trade in Macarthur A grade which is being used as part our young player's development more than ever this season.
Good to see Kit back. he would have been very useful in the Top grade considering the injuries. He finished last season in KOE on Fire , he was really playing well. First trial against the Roosters this year , same played very well and i was expecting him to push for a bench spot in NRL. But not sited off Nobby's this year , obviously with HIA protocol. Hope he gets up to speed quickly. I know you can't keep everyone but i think the Laulili brothers will be a loss. Good luck to the Bears.

I agree they are a big loss. They are still very young and debuted very early. They have done really well for their ages, I know we as fans get impatient wanting them to star week in week out it just doesn't happen as frequently as everyone expects. Casey Mclean is the exception to the rule out of that young crop coming through at that age, it only takes an injury to railroad a growing body. Kade Reed is the best example.
Luke Lualli has been in great form and will only get better its a shame he hasn't had a chance at fullback yet when Bula was out or in NSW Cup, I think he is better than Heath Mason at 1.
