Believe he’s been selected in NSW u19 team
Given Hunt, Da Silva, Kit and Murray are named to play this week we can only imagine that we will be running with a similar side next week with the inclusion of Pole and Twal.

Hopefully May is a late inclusion in the centres with Staines moved to fullback.
I think we will need Hunt back for the raiders game. Hopefully one more good showing in KOE playing longer minutes then we can drop Bird.

Watched the KOE cup game last night, as a replay, was impressed with Malapalingi, his general direction in guiding the Team, but also backing up and extra effort in defence, also Luke Jack, not much of him but a goer. On another note, they kept on showing Galvin on the sideline with his man crusch Luke Vella, it was cringey.

Off contract at a club with insane depth too.
Mapz is a must keep

Offers versatility & x-factor. Is evident he's just settling into the 5/8 role and hopefully a breakout game is coming. Can play 5/8, centre, fullback & wing. Pretty quick, elusive, pretty good in the air, backs up and has a nice deft passing game.

The club has recruited well to get him. I like the smart recruitment strategy the club now has in place.
I rate him, he has a lot to offer.
He's a bit of an unknown for the casuals but I think top 30 awaits and he won't let anyone down.

Same. I like the signings this season of Tu'itupou, Mapapalangi, Falls, Rahme, Taateo, El Zakhem, Hope & Murray. I think all of them can see the lure of another contract whether top 30, T&T or Dev with our club if they kill it this season in Cup.

It's interesting they are developing both Mason and Mapa as halves, preferring Luke Laulilii as fb. I wonder if it is Luke L they see as the best fullback of the 3 and therefore next man up if Bula goes down?
I know there are a number of fullbacks coming through that are 18 months/2 years off competing for a first grade spot but the depth there currently is interesting.
Got Lobb filling in as fullback this week too 😂
I'm a fan of Luke.
Lot to like about his game.
A few smaller fullbacks popping up this year with Grey, Kini and Tuapiki.

Surely Staines will shift to fullback with Lobb onto his preferred right wing.
you mean left right out on Lobb??

Will do a mid-season summary of some of our well-performed NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg players this week.
Out of interest from other regular watchers, who do you think are 1 or 2 players in either grade who could 'jump out of the ground' in the 2nd half of the season and put their hand up for one of the 2 remaining development contracts next season, a train or trial or potentially top 30?
I'll put forward 21yo wing/fullback Tino Tavana & 20yo centre Max Taotua.

If the crowd is big enough hope they let us on to the Bike Track again.
Memories of great afternoons at Lidcombe with the magpies forwards smashing the opposition.
