34-34 at FT. We came home with a wet sail and should've won in the end. But still a very good result against the second best team in the comp who smoked us in the corresponding game earlier in the year.
We scored 7 tries to 6 and conceded the Dragons last try off a terrible pass from our halfback which led to a length of the field try conceded.
We have some interesting players in this team who are starting to show what they are capable of.
Young Phoenix Godinet still has an error or two in his game that he needs to correct, but he ran the ball very strongly today and I thought it was the best he has looked since his 2024 Harold Matthews season, so it’s a good sign for us moving forward.
 
At least something sort of positive came out of the weekend for our club.

Just some random notes after watching the game on delay ...

- Solomone Saukuru had a huge game with some barnstoming runs, 2 tries, 1 or 2 try assist & generally strong in defence.

- We were 4-22 down after 22 mins with Dragon scoring from 2 kicks & another off what should have been a forward pass.

- We got back into the game when Josese Lanyon came on at lock & Shaq Tavita and Leni Plati were our middles. Lanyon offers so much at lock, he's quick, good step, good link play, smart and was good in defence today.

- Was awesome to see Tavita put Lanyon into a hole with a nice short ball, Lanyon beats a defender draws fullback and passes back to big Tavita who scores.

- Jared Haywood looked classy again at dummyhalf and showed his IQ with brilliant grubber behind the line for Leatigaga to score a try and ultimamely level the game with Tavana's conversion.

- Thought Broederlow was poor today with as couple of uncharacteristic handling errors and on the flip side Godinet looked really strong in his brief 15 min stint at the end.

- We don't know what contract Will Craig signed this week but today's performance once again highlighted his deficiencies. He did have a good yardage run which contributed to a try later that set but he dropped a simple long kick no pressure early, was out-contested in an aerial contest for a Dragons try, jammed in unnecessarily when Dragons scored from the overlap and missed a sitter goal kick just to the right of the uprights (which ultimately proved costly).

- On the positive, Logan Brookes is building nicely in this grade. Was really impressed with a length-of-the-field cover tackle effort play, unfortunately Dragons scored next play.

- Saukuru & Lanyon were best for mine whilst Tavita, Plati & Maataale were strong up the guts and Brookes & Haywood classy.

I saw Will Craig on the weekend and he said it was signing (re-signing) with the management agency

Has Feledy played many Flegg games this year? Ya forget just how young some of these blokes are sometimes.
I am interested to know if his defense improves going back to this level.
 
Will Craig seems to be dropped, that’s $100k or so to not even play under 21s, joke of a recruitment move, you have kanaan who’s injured and played cup this year and Nicholas who seems to not be getting picked despite his attributes… this makes you how far down the pecking order a player of his calibre and how much his getting paid is
