Yeah I would say that is a pretty fair assessment. I'm not sure about Matai as he always shows something at Flegg, but hasn't been able to make the same leaps ahead in Cup when given opportunities. Still only young and if he is Flegg eligible another year there won't hurt.

Highlights from Jersey Flegg are up. Doesn't tell the whole story but a few moments reinforced a few things ...
- Bailey Hodges has a very good passing game from dummy-half.
- Max Taotua looks a great 19yo prospect on the wing - speed & size.
- Max Liles & Iverson Matai look a good attacking halves pairing. I hope we can retain both of them in Flegg next season as top agers. I think Matai is a slow-burn. Whilst he's no Latu Fainu, if he can keep improving his defence, he will be a good backup 5/8 in a couple of years.
- Jared Haywood has class!
- Chris Faagutu is a class above Flegg. If he can add a bit more strength, power & bulk in the off/pre-season, no reason why he couldn't play some NRL next year.
@Tigers_Wests do you agree?
Max Taotua really surprised me with how big he was. For some reason I thought he was only an average build. Hopefully puts in a good performance in Cup this week.

Large sets up Makasini for the first try of the game. Pass was forward. Also the first time they've been given the ball all game. Keep going right.

Atrocious use of the bench, manly go straight through the middle of tired forwards and score under the posts. Why don't we rotate our props?!!
