Wouldn't be surprised if there was a Feledy try assist or 2 in there. Unsure of his defensive abilities, but definitely quick, a good finisher and I remember reading an article somewhere along the line that he is fully dedicated to his off field training and preparation.

They should give him a pre-season with the NRL boys and a train and trial (if he is past Flegg age) in 2024.

Feledy or Kirk?
Kirk should be kept around yeah. There's something to work with

What a great win, that’s a big boost for our young emerging players.
I watched them last week and their attack was poor, they have obviously made a huge improvement with their attack this week.
Without seeing the game, I wonder if a large part of the difference was starting Heath Mason who is the classic modern day fullback who is very quick, but also has the playmaking skills and smarts of of a halve.

Mason and Da Silva in the spine would surely have helped our attack.

I'm guessing Solomone has picked up a niggle? Would be nice to see Feledy and Faagutu get game time in NSW Cup, but they may be stretching out the exposure in hopes that flegg can somehow squeeze into the finals winning all of their remaining games.

admittedly i only saw highlghts but Tannous seemed to go well in the 7 yet now back to the bench. i never understood trying to turn him into a 9, hes an out and out half to me.

I agree. Although the Tuesday team list is as reliable as a politician to their word, it is disappointing that he has to make way for Camroux dropping back. Especially if Camroux has been told he should explore other opportunities next season.

They don't know how to tell Camroux he should be on the bench till his contract ends.

Camroux had 3 try assists and 2 line break assists in a poor nsw cup team last week.

Camroux has some size and athleticism to him. His future may not be in the halves but he is the type of player a coach like Bellamy would nurture into a good player. This is even more relevant to our club which appears to have a significant issue in being unable to scout/identify and recruit fast centres.

Young Camroux is still potentially an NRL player, possibly a very good NRL player.
As you alluded to, he has a very good tall athletic physique and plenty of pace.
I think many people forget that some 20 year olds are still very young mentally and haven’t quite toughened up to become the best version of themselves.
I think Camroux fits this category, last weekend was the first time at NSW Cup level I have noticed he really engaged the opposing defence at speed which to me means he could be slowly turning the corner.
I understand he hasn’t done enough to earn a top 30 spot with us for next season, but I think it would be in our best interests to try and keep him with us on a train & trial deal to find out how he continues to develop.
Competition and being overtaken by some of the elite young halves we have for 2024, most younger than him might be another driver to bring out the best in him.

COVID killed a lot of 19-21 year olds careers. missing 18 months of footy at that age is terrible for development, particuarly halves. Camroux definelty got shafted there

I agree Camroux has plenty to offer as a squad member. If someone like Tyson Gamble can be a first grader, Zane Camroux can. He is a decent goal kicker and can play 1-7 and as he grows probably could easily transition into a Kurt Mann type player if need be. He's talk, athletic. There are 10 players on our top 30 right now I'd rather have Zane Camroux than.

That's not to say I think he's like a Latu Fainu level talent, but he's definitely someone I'd try to keep and develop.
