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.

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 🙂

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.
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.

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.

Really is that how they got them over, so they scouted them and promised top 30 football to entice them over, ready or not. I'd actually never really thought about that. That would explain Large not being willing to wait if he was promised. Then managers like Isaac bring them to us to learn and get early first grade experience and as soon as they were consistent they'd leave. It's a way of getting the best juniors, but I'd imagine you would need to keep them happy to keep them. Then your in a situation where it becomes a toxic boys club where the players rule.

Like the look of it, glad Hunt is in reserve grade, means benji is serious but wow he wasn't injured and played 10 minutes and was gassed. Send him to a cardiologist.
My concern is Kaufusi is another player that Bellamy let leave Melbourne and I remember how the last player we got like that ended up 👎
