@851i think we have him on a full time contract now and if you had of seen him in Jersey Flegg at the start of the year he was below ordinary, but when the recruitment team put blokes on contracts they push there case hard and give them ample opportunity to succeed, they tend to dismiss there...

@tigerap I don’t agree with that, I’ll reserve my judgement until after Cini and Dillon get a run In cc, with better players around them, they are 2 kids that may go to a different level playing with better players, look at Seyfarth very ordinary start of the year in 20’s, but got a step up and...

Concern has always been his lack of speed, positionally good, and there is some concern when he comes into the line his tempo at times is poor. I don’t think though he should not be dropped from this side, he could at least be on otoole’s wing if they are going to move him. Surprised youngCini...

@pawsandclaws1 I was askedby Balmain boy my opinion on other halves that were coming through at the same time, I give Dave Warwick credit because he went out and bought Talau, Bradley ( who I think is a backrower by the way), madden who we have discussed, Cini and Dillon who both have great...

@fred I didn't mention Dylan Brown because he plays for the kiwis now, but at the time he played for aust in 2017 schoolboys I think, and he was ripping sides apart down there at cabra when he was in matta and ball.

@balmain-boy Ok when he was coming through matts and ball, the knights had a gun pack of forwards, very big pack that used to steamroll sides, they won a lot of games and they started to get a lot of blokes tied up in rep sides (former players tied up with picking and coaching rep sides). Not...

@Sunnycoast_tiger I’ve said this for years, playing junior reps means nothing when you go up in grade, many times the best players in certain positions don’t get picked in junior reps it’s massively political. Madden is learning and will get better, but I said a while ago he is not in the top 5...

Unfortunately madden was like this in defence in 20”s, always on his back on the ground , can’t get a hold of Hutchison and smith at all. dylan Smith is good positionally that”s it, no speed at all, doesn’t have the speed to be moved up to nrl. Although norths are hopeless too, aren’t they...

I Would like to see Cini and Dillon both get development contracts next year. Watching nearly all the nsw rl Jersey Flegg vids and being absolutely realistic on how many and what kids we should buy or attempt to buy, these are my nominations, Jake averillo - bulldogs, doesn’t have a dev contract...

One thing that was notable watching the game live was that we were slow across the park, especially moving the ball, Rochow just retire, Siolo no impact etc..... a few years ago in the juniors Talau Bradley and Dillon played in the same side and they are winners, throw in cini and this should...

@Madge my money would be on mybe over 100 any day of the week

@balmain-boy no worries then again they may of seen him play this year and said let him go who knows

@The_Patriot seen simpson play in the u18s origin looks ok garners a strange one signed with the bulldogs but didnt play a game and they let him go

@Harvey your 100 percent right this seyfarth I seen play in the flegg he was dead set average at best. obviously someone likes him that other kid madden seen him a few times really don't know what they see in him either

Talau played his junior football for moorebank rams in the forwards, his old Mann coached dogs Harold Matt’s and ball and moved him to five eighth, during those rep years. He isn’t quick, and when he played five eighth he ran the ball himself too much. He is a gun competitor and defender but he...

@Tiggerman some good points you make and I agree with a few of them, I’ve said before the better players don’t handle the ball anywhere near enough, and when they need to shift the ball we run another hit up and it’s too late, doesn’t help that we have forwards that can’t win a play the ball ...

@Balmain_Boy that’s what I was told on Sunday at Leichhardt, apparently chooks had a dip at him before he signed with us, and they still want him apparently, I know he isn’t very big but I’ve seen 4 of our under 20’s games live this year and take out Talau and Bradley who are in reserves, he is...

@TheDaBoss hope the rumour I’m hearing about the chooks chasing Dillon is incorrect, thought it was a joke when someone told me yesterday, hope we don’t lose the kid looks very promising with real speed.

@leftrightout I’m with you left right out, Cini may get a run in a few weeks on the wing I reckon, madden no way, they will play him because he is supposedly the gun junior signing and has a development contract, but playing junior reps etc doesn’t mean that much, he wasn’t a priority for...

Nice to read your thoughts thaiger, pretty much agree, seems baffling how our biggest asset is our outside backs, but we just don’t use them. Is it the coaching? , who is telling Ngati to pass the ball to Lucas castle so much, just baffling, pretty sure I’m correct when I say the first try came...
