    Yes - Mamaged by Isaac Moses. I believe he’s a slight upgrade on Jock Madden and would be very handy for us, but not sure if any wounds have been mended between Isaac Moses and Benji.

    Exactly right, we are not giving the young man a fair chance to succeed and he’s done very well under the circumstances. Many current NRL regulars were not even thought about as an NRL player at age 21 yet we want to write someone off just because he was good enough tj play NRL at age 19 and has...

    OFFICIAL Jersey Flegg Cup

    Yes I like his potential. He has taken to the step up to playing Jersey Flegg very well, he is the prototype tall, strong, fast and athletic winger and continues to improve, As mentioned in other posts I don’t always agree with Shane Sultana’s team selections, but geez he makes a lot of very...

    I can see him being a starting lock in the Erin Clark mould somewhere. Erin Clark did not establish himself as a regular NRL player until around age 24, Kit is still only 21y.o I know I sound like a broken down record, but too many of our supporters forget how young a lot of our players are and...

    That’s where he played when making a positive impact in a trial game earlier this season and again when getting decent minutes for our NRL team and impressing everyone a few weeks back. Similar in physique to Max Plath and Connor Watson. Not everyone who plays 13 has to do ot for 80 minutes per...

    The question is who are we including in our top 30 as our back up or NSW Cup number 13? I believe we have the promising Blake Van Drie and Siotame Havea Jr both on Development Contracts which is ideal as they both appear to need another 12 months to add a bit of size and further develop their...

    I agree. We can only hope that as part of his own review process Benji recognises this as an area that needs focus and improvement.

    We certainly have, but nobody has really been given enough time in this role to try and prove themselves.

    The point is not many players are going to make a positive difference with 8 minutes of game time in 2 weeks and plenty would be guilty of making errors trying too hard to impress because of it.

    We don’t have anyone quicker over 10m When given a decent amount of game time a few weeks ago he come on and regularly got us on the front foot with his extra speed resulting in strong ball carries. Why are we focusing on, or wanting to blame any player who only gets 8 minutes for our losses, we...

    So you want a team full of big slow sloths, that will serve us well. If we don’t add a certain element of speed off the mark, we will not improve, it is that simple.

    RHS he got zero minues last week and 8 minutes last night. I challenge youth find any player on a minimum value contract who will make a notable difference in that minimal amount of time. Last night he was guilty of trying too hard, in that scenario why wouldn’t he? Blame the coach and use of...

    He did only come on with 8mins to go and likely with instructions to tackle strongly and make a difference. He gave away a couple of penalties for being too rough or too overzealous with his tackling and made an error when trying to get a quick pass to team mates invspace late in the game. I’d...

    OFFICIAL Jersey Flegg Cup

    Another case of us not being patient enough with our star juniors who did not fulfill their potential as quickly as what we would have liked. Due to some issues of probably not getting himself as fit as he should have been and compounded by a bad run of injuries, we have not seen the best of Kit...

    OFFICIAL Jersey Flegg Cup

    I reckon Blake Van Drie would be around 183cm and 88-90kgs and could easily add 5kgs of muscle over an offseason. Don’t forget Cameron Murray was only 94-95kgs for a large part of his career and has been elite for s long time. Victor Radley similar and Reuben Cotter even lighter. As you know I’m...

    He has the soft hands, skill and vision to be an elite 1st receiver ball playing style of 13 that most NRL teams are now looking for and has the added bonus of being an extremely good tackle busting ball runner with an offload when required. His lack of work ethic would not allow him to play...

    We definitely also need some added speed and class in the backs, but Jake Averillo should help and if Taylan May can stay injury free tgat wil be a big help.

    We need to te-sign him. Currently he and Ethan are both outside of our best 17 when we are full strength. They are both now at the stage where a big off season with added confidence and belief can potentially see them both forcing their way into our top 17 even when we are full strength. They...

    Not enough run threat with a Madden and Latu halves combination. Latu is and can be a brilliant ball runner, but I think he needs to build game time and confidence in the halves before we start seeing it on a regular basis, therefore I would not burden him with being the halve we rely on to run...
