New Faces at Training

[JC99]

Madge has been impressed with the agility and size of young forward Mavoni Tuifua .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV-4D3RnARo

Also impressing is young Michael Tannous .. good to hear that the young fellows are busting a gut at pre season training .. nothing like showing the boss what you got .. never hurts .. !!

How old is that big fella, he’s a beast!!!

It's crazy how many times this video does the rounds. A flegg pre season trial from two years ago against a team full of triallists .. it means nothing.
He's a good prospect but needs a more recent video

Yep, for sure.
Unless the Flegg triallists have video playing against first graders . . . it means nothing.
What a waste of time.
Gee some people here get carried away seeing junior players standing out against their peers.

You don’t reckon every single origin player of today had impressive junior highlights reels? Why can’t people be excited?

Actually no they don't ...Tedesco didn't make junior rep sides ...Willie Carne couldn't make his school 1st 15 .......I bet other on here know of other players


Hard work in the end is the difference ...everyone has to do it ...many junior superstars don't make it because they aren't prepared to work hard to make the next step

Didn’t he play wing in rep teams or something?

I vividly remember watching Tedesco score 5 tries or something in an under 20s match on a sunny Sunday afternoon standing on the hill at Leichhardt. It was against Melbourne I think, could tell he was going to be something special just off that vision alone

And I tend to agree on the last part. Jacob Loko was touted to be the next Israel Folau in juniors...All the talent in the world but was supposedly a lazy trainer. I’m not even sure where he’s at anymore

Jacob Loko has been playing for Thirlmere in group 6 for years haha

In regards to teddy, he made Aussie schoolboys got bumped into 20’s the year after then played first grade year after that. He was definitely a stand out as a young fella but Happy is still right, heaps of talented guys never make it and some guys who just work hard end up having good careers

Doesn’t mean we can’t get a little excited over some highlights!

Yep, part of the excitement is, you just don't know who is going to make it?

Exactly. I think I’m more invested in our 20’s and reserve grade team than ever for next season. Even going to the 20’s trial this weekend!

None of this is important ...ask half the Forum ...he is a Plodder ...eyes roll

I didnt say he's set the world on fire, play first grad, State of Origin or play for Australia .. i just said that the coach is impressed with his the agility the big bloke has and that he has been training the house down ..

Nuffin wrong with the young fellows training hard as impossible to impress the coach.

I remember way way way back when i was a young lad coming through .. i was keen as mustard to impress the coaches .. i was a young cocky forward smashing everyone, until one of the senior big bopper flattened me and said .. "go easy lad, rome wasnt built in one day" .. lol

Only half????

I'm sure Hartigan visits this forum so I'll say 99%

I don’t think that Hartigan would not bother reading the forum, he would be too busy scouting talent and working with Madge and the rest of the recruitment team.
The forum is for Nufties like us.

I'm sure he's got more important things to do, but this forum is a decent source of knowing about players suddenly becoming available. You just need the patience to sort through the 99.9% of rubbish on here.

 

[Newtown]

If 99.9% is rubbish then only 0.1% i.e. 1 out of 1000 is not rubbish, Talk about looking for hidden jewels in this forum.

Actually no they don't ...***Tedesco didn't make junior rep sides .***.

Well if you dont count Harold Matthews, SG Ball, Australian Schoolboys or NYC, you would be 100% correct.

He made oz Schoolboys ...as a winger Nofa beat him to the fullback spot .....playing for Wests isn't rep ...I mean rep as either Qld ,NSW or Australian

Hartigan would have the most up to date database with every stat of every player in the NRL, and every kid with any sort of prospect of making it, from the age of 14 upwards.
Same as McDonald and Scot Woodward.

Boxing is one of my least favourite sports and Jeff Fenech one of my least favourite sportsmen @TheDaBoss.
There has to be something wrong with the psyche of 2 people that want to get into a boxing ring with the intention of beating the stuffing out of and/or hurting/injuring their opponent.
And dont try to tell me boxing teaches you how to defend yourself. I'll guarantee there has never been a boxer that has gone into a fight to just defend himself or even worse herself, and not hit their opponent.
But maybe Fenech can improve their mental strength.

The only time I find boxing entertaining or funny is when someone makes a statement such as this in your last paragraph @TheDaBoss.
Well done :grimacing: :grin: :grinning:

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Brooks would be the only player likely to understand Fenech and vice versa.

The team are training at Bankwest today climbing up the stadium, and the clubs put all their names up on the electronic boards across the stadium

Noticed two new names, Israel Ogden, a young fullback from Warriors who @Everything-WT has reported has signed on a development deal, and Edenn Rogers-Smith, a 21 year old prop from Roosters.

Also, Iverson Fuatimau has been training with the top grade squad for the last few weeks. He’s that unnamed photo we couldn’t figure out from a few weeks back 😂

 

[JC99]

A second rower called Billy Stapleton training with us too, played 20’s in 2019 for Manly. Another name up on the boards at bankwest lol.

Yeah don’t know any of those three new guys haven’t heard much about them. I know Iverson was rated at bulldogs though
