Jersey Flegg Team List: Round 5

[WT2K]

Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg coach Wayne Lambkin has named his squad for his side’s Round 5 clash against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Leichhardt Oval.

Gun prop Mavoni Tuifua — who scored a double against Parramatta on Easter Monday — will power the side from the front row, as he joins EJ Lui and Daniel Sykes in the middle.

Logen Dillon will wear the number one on his back after an impressive start to the season, while Ben Stevanovic, Kade Hill and Rua Ngati make up the spine.

The side is high on confidence, having won their opening two games of the season to sit second on the ladder.

Their match against the Bulldogs kicks-off at 12:00pm at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday — the first time they’ve featured as one of the curtain-raisers to the NRL team this season.

Not sure if this is the same Samuel Kamu? If so, he is another very good recruit.

I know it is junior footy, but this clip is worth watching. Aden Perry for Wests Devils. I like his style.

He's got a good bump on him. Our Flegg side doesn't lack in the talent department.

I like young Sykes as well. The winger Jordan Hill is exciting and Logan Dillon has electrifying acceleration - if he uses it to set others up he will be even better for it. Stevanovic is a clever 6 and Kayden Hill at half is going well.

Mavoni was too much of a handful for Parra. They tried to manhandle us early but then seemed to drop off pretty quickly after a few big hits. Our boys stood up and were quick to give it back and, in spades.

The team seems to have a lot of ‘go’ in it and mongrel as well as talent. Let’s hope they can keep it going week in, week out. Probably haven’t had a real test against Penrith, South’s or Cronulla yet but have started well.

First step though is turn up against Bulldogs on Sunday.

Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg team aiming to remain perfect

Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg team will be looking to keep their perfect record intact when they host Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday afternoon.

It will be the first time the U/21’s team has featured as one of the curtain-raisers to the NRL team this season — which will be an added boost for the undefeated side.

Coach Wayne Lambkin’s men have kicked off the 2021 campaign with wins over the Victoria Thunderbolts and Parramatta Eels to sit second on the ladder — only behind Penrith — who have played an extra game.

“I’ve been really impressed with how they’ve started the season and we need to build on that this Sunday,” Lambkin said.

“The team has been training well and it’s showing on the field. Hopefully we can keep it up.”

The Jersey Flegg side will play the second game of a four-game program on Sunday, with the game kicking off at 12:00pm at Leichhardt Oval.

“It’s great for everyone involved for Jersey Flegg to be played at the same venue and on the same day as first grade,” Lambkin said.

“It’s a thrill for the boys to run out in front of a good crowd. To start the season, we’ve played in Victoria and then at Campbelltown at the same time the NRL team were playing.”

Rising prop Mavoni Tuifua — who trained with the NRL squad over the summer — scored the side’s first and last try against the Eels on Easter Monday — and will be keen for another big showing against the Bulldogs in Round 5.

Lambkin has been more than impressed with his big prop to start the season, as well as a number of other key members of the squad.

“I’ve been really impressed with a lot of our players,” the coach said.

“Obviously Mavoni Tuifua has been going really well and scored a couple tries last weekend.

“Our hooker and captain Rua Ngati has been playing great — he leads the boys around well and he’s going to keep getting better.

“Kaide Hill — our halfback — has also been really good at directing the team around the park.”

Despite opening the new season with two wins from as many starts, Lambkin is hoping for a much-improved defensive effort this weekend.

“We still need to work on our defence,” he said.

“I wasn’t that happy with the team conceding 22 points against Parramatta. That’s something we need to work on.”

It's a strong side with a good representation of local juniors and excellent talent from outside the distrct.

30 minutes into the first half and WT lead the Bulldogs 8-6 with Scolari and Dillon crossing for WT.

Stefanovic kicking very poorly. Missing easy shots at goal. Up 8-6 at half time but should be more. Jordan Hill went off with an ankle injury.

Forwards and backs look solid but halves not looking focused

Hopefully the coach can put them on the straight and narrow at halftime. Pretty windy out there but they need to learn to adapt to that.

Dillon splits then apart and rounds the fullback to score under this posts for his second. Shades of Pap.

Up 14-6

I havent seen him play this year but his fullback play seems to be really coming on. In 2019 I thought he was good but his best chance of making it was going to be as a winger, as he was a damaging ball runner but didnt really have the finesse of the modern day fullback. Do you think thats changed?

It would be good if we could develop another Pap but keep him this time. Young Dillon sounds impressive.

 

[tony soprano]

Young guys very good

Timanu Alexander in now - never heard of this kid. 18-6 now.
