OFFICIAL SG Ball Cup

Heard commentator praising one of our players as one who will really go on with it into first grade and a very exciting player. Just after one of the tries . But didn’t catch who he was talking about . Was it Isdale?
 
Looking at the draw this year, the NSWRL are having a laugh 🙁
In their eight games - Wests have drawn junior powerhouse clubs; Parra, Newcastle, Canterbury, Illawarra & the NZ Warriors (in New Zealand), along with the perennially dangerous Souths. The only fixtures one could consider "friendly" are against Manly & Balmain.

I noticed this too. Saying that Manly beat the Warriors in Matt’s and Ball this morning so you never really know for sure which teams may surprise this year, good or bad. I think it’s safe to say Parra are going to be at or near the top though in ball.

Large bros carved up for them …

Yeah that's right, Manly with the Large brothers in their Ball Cup team will also be a handful.

The Eels will win it, their 1, 2, 5, 7, 13, 8 & 10 all have genuine NRL potential.
Phoenix Godinet looked dejected after the game, I don’t think it will help the confidence of he or Taupau-Moors by leaving them in this team any longer.
It’s a shame as if we still had the core group that started together in Harold Matthews which included Makasini, Onitoni and Ashton Large, Alex Isdale, Ali Karnib, Thomas Goodfield, Maddox Fui, Tyson Walker etc and Glassie Glassie who must have been injured yesterday.it would be very different and they would no doubt be a top 2 team.
I hope Alex Isdale continues to star and he along with Ali Karnib at least play finals with Balmain.

If as you say - "the Eels will win it", then why pull Godinet & Taupau-Moors after we lost a game (first one of the season) to the eventual champs.

I mean for all we know, Wests could be the second best team in the comp

Our 1-5 are very limited, way off the pace.
Glassie Glassie will improve it and Josh Vella should keep improving once he gets more confidence playing a year up, but this team will struggle, be lucky to win 2 games.
As noted above the team has lost 8 quality players since Harold Matthews, very hard to recover from that.

You’re right
Would’ve been way more competitive. So disappointing
