Edrick Lee and Jesse Sue proving their fitness for firstgrade next week.

Ben Talty is another who might be close. He has changed his body shape so much this year that I didn't even recognise him in game one this year and had to look up who the 11 was when I got home. When we last won the minor premiership in Flegg, the second row of Fermor and Talty both were standouts. Talty went to Parra on a development contract, but came back after covid hit I think. He was one of our best in reserves last year and looks a lot fitter this year. He is one to watch

Few changes - Musgrove is out - replaced by Nick O'Meley.
Jirah is in and is starting at left second row - making a bid for that spot in firstgrade no doubt.
Brock Gardner is in the 17 after joining the squad a week ago.
Floyd Tighe replaces Tex Hoy at 5/8

some old guys fumbling round trying to get their computer to work - at least we have a picture - 20 minutes late

 

[Wagyu Patty]

Is Floyd any relation to Brad Tighe @Billy ?

[Billy]

well we have pictures - no one on the field - so it might be a late kickoff.

 

[Billy]

Knights arrived late after freeway incident - don't know how that will effect them

Came back from Syd this morning. Traffic was honestly backed up the whole way down the M1. They should have caught the train lol.

 

[Billy]

He lifted his arm for a fend and basically hit him in the jaw and knocked him out.

 

[Billy]

not a great start - one unconsious from the first contact.

 

[Billy]

Sasagi and Wilkinson gone for the game I'd say.

 

[MattyM]

Our cup team is bog average.

O’Meley and Gibbs couldn’t defence to save their lives.

 

[krustykraz]

Sue looks off the pace

 

[MattyM]

What do wingers and centres not understand about staying on their opposite man?

Rocket science apparently.

 

[Billy]

Bad day at the office.
Stuck on the freeway - late to the game - Wilkinson knocked out in the first contact of the game - Sasagi cops a stray boot and is off to disneyland - and that takes us up to the 5 minute mark.

 

[Billy]

The local comp boys - O'Meley, Shaw, Gibbs, etc etc are way off the pace when playing a team that is just below NRL standard.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

It’s that side, right, that is letting them stroll through

 

[Billy]

Eddy is trying to get involved.
I like what Gardner has done so far. He has had a bit of a growth spurt - much taller than the 6'1" his profile says.
