Jersey Flegg 2026

Beau Hill is on for his first game of Flegg.
He looked a small forward in Ball and looks tiny at this level - but ripping in as he always does.
 
4 - 28 at halftime

Former Knight Bailey Carmichael playing for the Dragons. I thought he was too old for Flegg.
The way these guys are playing, they might all be 20/21.
 
14 - 62
Bailey Carmichael scores - I was going to say against his old team mates - but all our guys are too young to have played with Bailey
 
I know they have promoted a whole heap of young guys from sg ball, but even before that this Flegg team had not much going for them, then to sack coaches in the last week and come out to hav ethos sort of defeat isn’t a great look for us
We need these flegg teams having realistically 5-6 players showing they can move to NSW cup level and maybe NRL in next year or 2 but there hasn’t been much to show apart from maybe Winter,Hagan,Gow and Nonu

Saints are obviously keeping all their prospects in Flegg and plan to rebuild the top squad with this group. There were a lot of guys playing today who were better than their reserve grade squad from Friday.
Knights have gone the other way and have Hopwood, McEwen, Hunt, Aoake, De Courcey, Votano, Hagan, Winter all playing against men.

I reckon saints probably want to get their young players used to winning and not getting beat up every other week in the higher grades

Teams that win minor premierships and premierships in Flegg often have very big numbers go on to firstgrade.
In our history, we have got 1 or 2 firstgraders a year out of Flegg, but sides like the 2006 side had close to a dozen go on with it - Snowden, Uate, Paterson, McManus, Dureau, Walsh, Seuseu, Natusch, Gordon (1 game) a few others I've forgotton.

A few of those guys wouldn't have gone on with it if they had come through in a year with no success.
