OFFICIAL Harold Matthews Cup

Not much to get excited about in that Balmain team. Conti has a good boot on for a 16 year old, but didn't look like a future first grader today. His brother looked better in SG Ball.

He didn’t but as you say, he’s 16. Luke Brooks supposedly looked like a future Kangaroo at 16. He’s barely started learning to play the game seriously.

Not writing him off. Just expected him to have that look of class about him, like the Souths 5/8. Now that's a kid we should target. If his body develops I definitely see NRL in him. He stripped the Tigers defence with nearly every touch.

So appears to be a top 6? Last placed Bears and then a bye - I think you’re ruling them out prematurely.

Highest we can get to will be 10 points now. Knights and Steelers will go to 10 today after wins to round out the Top 6. Sharks will be 7th on 9 points. I saw that Sharks play Steelers in Rd 9 and Knights have a decent draw home. Would be extremely unlikely to get in from here.

4 wins will never qualify for the finals

Sadly you are correct.
I was holding some hope until I realised they hadn’t yet given Penrith two points for their bye.
The Wests boys still have the incentive to
leap frog Balmain 👍

Incredible come from behind win there! Conti involved in at all. An offload to get the try to be in striking range, then rushed a kick for touch and coughed up possession, followed by a last 30 seconds grubber kick and chase to score and win it for the Tigers!

Conti has been identified as a v/good young player, It is exciting for Balmain and WTs we have a player of his talent driving the team. Thanks for your update and BB's.
 
Balmain lost to the raiders after leading at halftime. Needed to win by 8+ and have another result go their way to make the finals so now offically out. Ridiculous that a 15 team comp only has a top 6. NSW Cup only has 13 teams and have a top 8!

NSW Cup only have a Top 5 I am pretty sure (it was last year anyway). At least that draw is fair for them terms of playing every team rather evenly and getting the top teams sorted.

For Harold Matthews and SG Ball, it is luck of the draw many times, as you can't afford to drop more than 2 maybe 3 games in the 9 regular rounds. Top 8 would definitely be better.

Seemingly 3 Waratahs u15s players on here, Lewadromodromo and Sorovi are two of them I believe. Hopefully we can develop and keep these players unlike Jorgensen. Azzi also one to look out for.
