General NSW Cup 2025

[Dannevegas]

Oh I realise that it is a lesser competition. FG centres and wingers could do with a bit of time in NSW in my opinion. Boyd was awesome today, as was number 12. Wouldn’t mind Harper getting a run either - he was well involved today, great stats and looked the best he has been. Not a bad spot to be in when we have competition.

Harper should be no where near first grade. There is no competition in our o backs

Tannah Boyd is the steadying influence in the Cup side. You can see the confidence he gives Hansen to play his own game.
So many of these guys are young enough to still be playing age grade.

Have to agree to disagree. His stats were right up there. Ummmm plenty of competition for centre / wing spots. Thats a good thing. I mean - neither of us are nrl coaches so our opinions don’t matter - but we can have our own opinions.

It was noticeable that the intensity dropped when Healy was off then picked up when he came back on. That spine worked really for them.

Damn, even our cup coach is playing mind games with team list Tuesday.

Tom Ale is back! Fantastic for our forward depth, although that is probably the area we have the least problems in.

Surely he starts at Prop for Lussick? Altho, I don't mind Lussick. He's a rough & rugged bugger! Plays like he thinks he is 6ft6 and 130kg lol

Good to see Ale back.

Saw the game is at Trusts Stadium. Will try and make it out there again.

Where's Boyd? Heading to Christchurch?

That’s what I was about to ask? He’s not 18th man? Does that mean he doesn’t play nsw cup

He could still be 18th man, but may still play Cup as their games are a day apart.

It's a bit weird having both Boyd and TMM not playing cup together for a number of weeks. I know they have been going on about iron sharpening iron but do you think the fluidity in cup of our attack with those two might have been creating a bit too much pressure on the top side being clunky in attack?

Could draw heaps of conclusions with another club interested in Boyd? Could be just wanting to see Cleary and Hanson together in nsw cup?

Tmm and Boyd could write a book
Called
How I became the spare

 

[watcher]

Same shaped ball. Same shaped paddock. Same shaped posts. Same shaped try line. The skills are transferable and yes they were both nice blokes and I was told that David was the better rugby player. But I was in form 1 and didn't see Ian play live. We just used to run our cross country through some of his paddocks

Was that Ngatapa school?

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Was that Ngatapa school?

Close. Patutahi school. Ngatapa rugby club is about 42 steps from the school and the two communities are basically the same.

I'd hope the warriors coaching staff do not have that big of an ego. Where they'd make players be worse by not playing them in any grade to feel better about selections. I'd argue that's almost fireable.
