Also disappointed to see Reilly go. Thought he preformed well with limited opportunities in first grade and showed some strong tackling.

Hope we are not shopping Reilly. Other than Bula he is the only back that showed he could tackle in his few first grade appearances and he has speed. He is worth keeping.

Yes. Have seen Xerri multiple times sprint training with Rodger Fabri in maroubra. He's looks a beast. Hope some of our backs are doing extra sprint training as well. It's needed.

Can't believe the call to keep Asu K, missed so many tackles and dropped so many balls while playing in the backs. Postional play horrendous. And we have so many better forwards. Let him go. Free up a spot.

Yes, Taylor thought JAC was not a first grader and suspect under the highball and no good defensively,

Just read on zero tackle Jakiya Whitfeld has signed a 3 year contract with the cowboys. one of our best preformers in womens comp. Big loss. She is an excitement machine. I thought the club was changing.

I may be wrong, but i think he also had a brother playing for Balmain as well.

We have enough forwards and he is a turnstile in defence with shocking hands in attack when playing centre.

I hope not. But we have paid way overs for Packer, Mbye, Reynolds and Mcqueen.

Suli had it all as a junior but was a very lazy trainer. That's why Canterbury let him ho b4 even playing a game. Raw talent, but no commitment. A good tigers junior . But up in grade ???

They were at the start of their careers in first grade. And we lost 3 of them.

I can remember. Then we played our home games at Sydney Sports Ground for 2 years I think while Leichardt oval changed and grandstand built. Geoff Starling made his first grade debut there one Friday night at Sydney sports ground.

I thought he improved in every first grade game he played. With new halves and a good preseason hopefully he will become a good regular first grader. As seen in these highlights he does put a bit in to his tackling which is more than can be said of most of our backs the last 2 years

I hope they stick with Reilly. Thought his last game in first grade was promising. Especially his defensive efforts which surprised me.

Correct. And we do not need anyone like that in our squad with so many youngsters here.

Finally we keep a good one.

Chris Lawrence was still a schoolboy up against first graders. Alex Lobb is 21 and those tackle stats are while he is playing NSW Cup. Granted he is still young.

Alex lobb 2023. 99 tackles 37 missed. 72% efficiency. We have enough non tacklers in backline.
