Big effort considering 5 of the 7 Balmain juniors in this side are part of the Tigers u16 development team.
Both the Kanaan brothers were strong and Azzi was also great controlling the game.
That’s because Western Suburbs Magpies manage and operate both Flegg and NSW Cup teams. Thats also why we had zero curtain raisers at our Campbelltown games last year as they insisted on playing at Lidcombe Oval.
First game done and dusted out here at Lidcombe between Balmain and Western Suburbs u16. Some talented kids across both teams. Future definitely looks bright.
Injuries have forced their hand but probably a blessing in disguise.
Petelo has been excellent in their u16 development team and Zoghaib should have been in the halves from rd 1 imo.
