Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What do you reckon Feledys next move ?
He's top 30 and off contract.
Should he be kept as a flegg/ cup player or just let to explore opportunities elsewhere?

I haven't seen much progression from him.

Wouldn't be surprised if he finds another club before June 30. I think we have prioritised others in the centres.

He has progressed this season and offers good stats in NSW Cup but IMO his ceiling is not high. Could make a good squaddie at the Eels or Panthers.

Well if Benji is running with this team , he has lost the plot
Hunt should be on the bench and Staines has been good , doing a lot of dirty hit ups and getting zero good ball , gonna be a long game flogging ,
And Add Richo with his bullshit signings , zero for the nrl side who is struggling and only able to sign woman comp players , where are the signings for first grade nrl that he said we will be surprised , couple weeks , etc , not good enough from both Benji and Richo , it’s time to show what we have and both are failing , don’t write off the spoon again

Fair call.

I agree.
Won't be retained, hopefully Naden too.

Lot of hype about this kid Feledy when they got him from Manly a few years back ….another one that has failed to be developed at the WT

benji prefers to make a point than give us the best chance of winning a game it’s so frustrating sometimes.

So whats the point he is making this time ?

Get your fitness up Royce! Until you're playing two stints of 20mins each in NSW Cup, you won't be making the team list.

So next year then for Royce? Maybe

I can see him being like a Marion Seve type, who plays 20-30 games between the ages of 27-30 after toiling in the lower grades .
I think he should to the goldy play a couple of years for Burleigh or Tweed Heads , and just develop himself .
He’s like a poor man’s Bradman Best . Including the bad defence and tuning out without anywhere near the consistent impact with the ball . He’s got talent, but yea , I think he’s honestly 2-3 years away .

No -one is gonna pick him up...just too small too slow
Same as Tumeth
Unfortunately we need to move on from these never to be first graders
KOE shld be the province of genuine 1st grade back ups ,or high potential juniors with the high likelihood of moving up the next step

I’m not disagreeing with you as to what he turned into .. but at one time as a junior Feledy did have some wraps and played U19 for NSW …the previous admin poached him from Manly and probably had to offer him a Top 30 to deal to acquire him … club just needs to get better picking some of these kids

Its interesting isn't it that if a player stays in Flegg and stars we would think he is a star of the future but a player the same age who has played almost exlclusively NSW cup or NRL for the last 2 years we all (including me) think he is done. Mayby its just part of his development although I think his arms are too short 🙂

Josh Feledy has reached his ceiling at the Tigers time to cut and move on for both parties.

Feledy is now officially behind Faataape.

Naden & Feledy can move on with no impact. Bring back Junior Tupou!

All true..but we tend not to focus on attributes which will enable the next step to NRL..Speed/size/work rate/athletism...KPIs that can predict their future
Dont tell me Bellamy doesnt do just that.. not a science..but basic footy smarts
Not in abundance at WTs pre Richo

Solomon Saukuru has played mostly 2nd row this season.

Could be his days as a potential centre are over.

Probably true, but it was close to his best game of the season last weekend, he was very strong with all his carries.
Does he look like being a regular NRL player ? At this stage probably not as a centre as he looks a touch too slow to compensate for his lack of size.
I would be advising him to try and add about 5kgs of muscle and then see how he goes as an attack minded back rower in the Euan Aitken mould.

 

[hodgo]

With feledy i have seen a few people say he has improved a fair bit this year. If that's the case he is crazy young surely you keep him over a naden or a faatape. Or are we saying he hasn't improved at all?

I would say so, he gets beaten for speed too often when defending as a centre.
He looked good last weekend as an edge back rower.
He’s a big, powerful athlete who has struggled with his fitness, but looked as fit as I’ve seen him last weekend. The penny might be finally dropping for him and if it does we could have a very good player on our hands.
