Wests Tigers confirm 2022 NSW Cup squad

[Yossarian]

stoked Izzy Ogden is there, but wish he was a listed NRL T&T player. imo he'd be pushing hard for a starting spot given our lack of centres to begin the season.

I guess the only concern is his durability. He seems to be out injured a lot.

Good to hear about Aden Perry.

Interesting that Brendan Webster- Mansfield isn’t mentioned as he is T&T, thought he was very impressive in Flegg and could be an NRL player of the future

 

[rihannafan1]

No Austin Dias. He was good last season.
Glad to see Tipari in the team. He has real talent.

He’s on a T&T contract too

So how are Austin Dias & Brendan Webster-Mansfield on T&T but not mentioned in NSW Cup squad? Also anyone heard what’s happened with the talented Kitione Katonga from SG Ball… not named in any squads either?

All these different types of contracts are confusing… What contract is Fonua Pole on?

Pole is on a Jersey Flegg contract, he’s still eligible for Flegg for another 2 years.

Same as Tannous, they’re both 19 this year.

They're surely put the age groups back down to the precovid levels soon. SG Ball u18. Flegg u20

Yeah, I'm not too sure when the change back will be occurring.

I would assume they are trialling for a first grade spot and if they don't get one will end up with NSW cup contracts.

How old is Ogden?

 

[KingRobbie]

How old is Ogden?

21

21

That’s surprising. Given the talk about him, I thought he was 18 or 19. He’s at the age where if he’s going to make an impression, it’s now. Similar to Hoffman. Is Dillion younger?

I think Dillon’s 21 too.

You have to take into account the fact that COVID stunted development for a lot of these young players and so they’ll probably debut a few years later than they would have.

So how many from the lower grades did we actually lose that we wish we kept?

None. It’s exceptional attention to detail. Great work Wests Tigers!

Sykes was poached by the panthers but he is probably the main one.

 

[Enmore_Tiger]

Seems the concern was unfounded.

Great news. All three are very talented. The loss of Sykes is sad but with Perry and the two young 13s arriving from Qld Schools we appear to be well covered in the lock position.
