One thing that never changes is how weak are the Western Suburbs Magpies

Staines at Fullback, Mason at 7, Fainu to 6. Faataape and Hope slot into centre and hooker respectively.
No sign of David Klemmer.

A much better team…hopefully mason can get an extended run in the halves

This is the thing that's confusing with this club... are we developing Mason as a FB or as a Half?

I hope the fullback experiment with Mason is over.
Latu is a running 5/8 not a half
So try Mason somewhere, as a 1/2. makes sense to me

 

[Kaito]

Mason & Latu can wreak havoc together
In the halves. Our backs bit big & slow..

 

[Kaito]

Not much speed outside of fullback

Interestingly no Matamua and to a much lesser extent, no Noah Johanssen. Probs just injuries.

Noah is playing Ron Massey Cup this week for Ryde Eastwood.

Is he too old for Flegg? Or has the club identified he is ready to develop against all age players?

Yeah too old for Flegg as turns 22 this year.

Not sure why dropped to RMC unless they are just rotating our middles (this week Jayden Tanner comes in) as we have a lot at a similar level and Noah’s likely to get more minutes in RMC.

No that’s fair, you can’t fit them all in. He looks like he has potential but no harm in developing him slowly.

Wow, that's a bit of a drop from KOE.

Level down to be fair.
Plenty of Penrith players play for St Mary’s when they aren’t in the Cup 17.

WOW someone give this bloke a medal 🏅 for his obvious one eyed loyalty.

Fair enough Steve, I seen all of it as our team. Even the Balmain or Magpie juniors and lower grades are all playing for the WT.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

I’m pretty sure Latu went from HM 2022 straight to cup in 2023 at Manly and hasn’t gone back down from there. It’s a hell of a promotion, needs time to play / adapt to the adult game.

Latu Fainu played Matt’s in 2021, and Ball 2022 (along with Feledy). NSW Cup 2023.

I think Izaac Thompson is a great pick up, could potentially play first grade after around 10 he is strong, tall, has good size & is it good finisher can also play wing or centre.

No no no. Hands like feet. Will do a job if we get desperate but I’m probably picking Lobb first if I’m honest.
