Jersey Flegg Team List: Round 8

[Tim Sheens]

32 to 10 fulltime

Key performers?

Fonua Pole and Sione Tupou when they came on changed the momentum of the game. Up until that point we were being outplayed and the Dragons found gaps up our middle. There were some very big tackles from these two and Pole in particular made ground. He was most unlucky not to score a try in the second half.

Kade Hill I thought was good, Dillon recovered well from his early early error and the two centres looked lively but Alexander needs to learn to pass. Twice there was an overlap to an unmarked Scolari and he went himself. That should come with maturity.

Scolari is one of those players who understands the big moments in the game. When the Dragons in the second half attempted to go wide and find a try he moved up and sat his opposing winger on his backside with a driving tackle under the ribs. The next tackle he chased infield and took down the first receiver to shut down the play when the Dragons were trying to fight back. He has that spirit that Gould often mentions when recruiting.

Thanks and sounds like Scolari has footy smarts.

Is F l egg under 20's?

Under 21s I think. Some of these kids will probably be top 30 next year. I think Logen Dillon will be signed to top 30 because if we don't sign him straight to top 30 he'll probably get poached.

I think what's helping this team the most is that they have had a consistently similar squad, particularly the 1, 6 and 7. They all gel.

Pole is big, with a great step, agility and speed. This may have been his first game but he was easily our best forward. To me, he is a special talent and yes better than Mavoni.

From what I've heard Pole is VERY highly rated by the club - there's a group of youngsters coming through the grades now - he is just one who should be the future of the WT moving forward.

Players like Dillon, Pole, Mavoni, the Saukuru brothers, Tannous, Kei...the list goes on. We need to keep developing them and retain them most importantly.

He played last week too, off the bench. Did well. I think he's from Qld

What I failed to mention yesterday was the steel shown by the side in the second half. As soon as they pinned the Dragons on the line the ruthless defence came to the fore. For a WTs' team it was enjoyable to watch.

Pity the highlights don't show one of the huge hits by Pole and Tupou on one of the Dragon's big prop/lock. First there was the sound of the hit which was loud across Ziems Park followed by the groan from the Dragon's player.

Some nice set plays.

There's some solid boys throughout this WT side - Kei tips the scales at 100kg and he definitely looked smaller than Timanu Alexander in the centres. Mavoni is simply built like a tank and very hard to hold close to the line in this grade.

Yeah I’ve seen his pace before but that pass was top drawer. We’ve got to make sure he’s under wraps.

What’s the go with Israel Ogden the young centre? I liked what I seen from him but haven’t seen him in awhile ... injured?

Hamstring apparently. I liked what I hear about him. The Flegg centres are both lively and good prospects.

Yeah our Flegg team is stacked.

If developed properly hopefully some of them see first grade within the next 2 years
