I didn’t watch it but I got sent a photo of the program and he was listed in the starting XV playing on the wing.

Why not both? 🤷♂️
I don’t reckon it’ll take much for him to click into retirement mode, he was there before we came knocking.
Used as an impact benchy only he is fine. Which is why I have been banging on about needing another prop and lock. We have one run-on NRL prop, so we are one injury or suspension away from none.

Thanks for the information. One feature of Taateo is his ability to consistently break tackles, which is something our NRL team could utilise. I hope the coaching staff and the player himself are working on his game.
What he’s doing for our NSW Cup team is what we had hoped Royce Hunt would do for our NRL team.
Although not as big as Royce, Taateo’s aggressive style and ability to hit top speed quickly is making him a standout and I agree he looks like a player capable of stepping up to NRL and making an impact there as well.

Man I was making the point that we should go in for Cobbo on the signings page, i think this proves it. We are playing a game of roulette with our centres.
Star has been great this year. Totally exceeded expectations but he misses a lot of footy with injuries.
Makasini has never played against men. He may need time.
May has played like 8 games in 3 years. His mental health issues will not have resolved in 10 weeks. Also unproven at centre
Mapa is an unknown quantity. Looks a talent but has been with a couple of clubs now. Plus he is playing 6 in cup.
NRL ready centre would be a welcome addition imo

Very good to see our NSW Cup and Flegg teams snag some wins in the past month. Seems some recruitment of players actually trying to make it first grade has done wonders...who would've thought....

What position do we need to finish to play semis in both these comps ? Is it top 8? Would be a succesful
Season to make the semis after the bad starts

Yep we're going to get a good look at which of our players are up to it on Saturday and who are downhill skiers! Flegg will be the same too. Big weekend for our roster moving forward me thinks.

That is one stacked team.
Keep an eye on Viliami Fifita @BlackWhiteGold
Off contract
Close with the Fainu family
Could be a front row depth option for us next year and beyond

BMM must be close to giving it away. Maybe he’s got another ESL stint in him.
Yeah was just checking them out....11 with NRL exp.
