Makasini playing 2nd half for May

Tui'itupou is a class above NSW Cup.

Tui'itupou is a class above NSW Cup.

He’s been playing good for a few weeks now .. with Skelton’s form dropping, I wouldn’t be opposed to giving him a crack. On the other hand, hopefully it gives Skelton a bit of a rocket that he needs to start performing

Makasini in his first 30 mins of nsw cup against men I've seen enough to know he will be an nrl player sooner rather then later. I'm not suggesting next week or anything but he has class

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

One thing that always amazes me is that in every nsw cup game I've ever seen him play Brent Naden always looks way to classy for the grade. Not that he has done anything particularly amazing but he just always looks the class player on the field in nsw cup no matter what position he is playing

captain next year but NO first grade

Magpies up 20-18 kick to come near the posts with only 4 mins left. Great try by Lobb got under a high ball and ran around to score.

The set was good off the back of big runs by Tuitupo and Makasini at the start

22-18, 3.5mins to go

And we lose the ball on the last on halfway - Raiders get a chance

Magpies hold on 22-18

I tried to watch this live and signed up to Bar TV as only place I could find Live but they want 19.95 a moth for reserve grade. That nearly the price of Kayo etc... They lower the price they would get more people..

Very good win, Lobb with some big plays for our last 2 tries.

He has something our backs don’t have, speed burst. Didn’t look out of place at all & liked how he went looking for work.

He went very well for his first 40 mins against men.
Some strong carries and ran onto the ball at speed each time it came his way.

Tui best player for us he is ready to step up. Hard runs and very difficult to bring to ground.

Aho I thought made a difference in the middle 2nd half

Rahme was busy, he has something but needs a NRL pre season to see if he can jump another level. I think if he moved to NRL now he would be eaten alive. He has potential though.

Lobb once he started to catch high balls things clicked but outside that he offers nothing.

Naden was ok, he has time in this grade but his options are still ordinary.

If Hunt plays NRL again this season we are stuffed.

The size of our forwards were like a snack meal compared to the Raiders pack.


Good solid hitout for May and Makasini. But they shouldn’t be in NRL next week - alot to work on but positive start for both.

He has something our backs don’t have, speed burst. Didn’t look out of place at all & liked how he went looking for work.

Especially impressed that every time he ran he created something be in a half break or a quick play the ball, has great speed off the mark which is more important then over a distance imo. Plus strength and soft hands.

In one game our outside back depth went from problematic to having May and Maksini both looking like nrl centres in 2026

He went very well for his first 40 mins against men.
Some strong carries and can continues balk at speed each time it came his way.

Speed was key for me, something we desperately need.
