General NSW Cup 2025

[Fangrl1234]

Anyone make it to the stadium today and see where people were playing, what positions and with who? Not that you can read into too much. I have only seen photos

 

[Fangrl1234]

Only Wing & Centre in Cup. I found he played Fullback for NZ U18s vs France in 2019. I think the article is alluding to the possibility of MGT to Centre, Pompey to Wing & RTS Fullback

I doubt MGT will be called up again to
First grade. Oils be wrong tho

 

[Dave Brough]

11-40 am start

Good to see Leiataua back. Odd bench with Harper and Setu Tu on it

 

[Playdaball]

Tom Ale must be injured ????

Still no sign of Ale

No number 5 named. Assuming it will be Kosi as long as Dallin plays first grade.

Cces, When is Joesph Ratcliffe eligible for Cup?

Cces, When is Joesph Ratcliffe eligible for Cup?

Surely next season he takes over Doyle? Maybe Putoko as well?

Anyone who is turning 18 in any calendar year is allowed to play in any men’s competition at any level.

So the best Harold Matt’s guys who turned 17 this year can play first grade in 2026.

The Ref himself in his playing days debuted as a 17 year old in the first round of the local men’s senior/premier comp back in the day.

Get Kali in grade, sick of our least threatening centre pairing in the comp

He's eligible now as he is about to turn 18.

Let him play SG ball next year first. Then see how he progresses.

He hasn't yet locked down a spot in Flegg yet.

Vake moe likely than Putoko i think.

Played NSW cup last year already and looked good in Flegg last week after long lay off

Kali/Vake/Putoko we have some great centers coming through.

Really excited to see how Brandon Norris comes through if we develop him on the wing.

Cup not on Sky this week??

Yeah im excited about Ratcliffe and Thompson the most. They were both key in that first championship of matts. They have come up nicely to flegg and are both ahead of schedule.

Norris looks really exciting! I still think we need an NRL ready replacement for kosi. I'm not sure Amituanai is ready to do what's needed to play in the back three just yet.

Kali needs a full season, just cant catch a break! I'm glad they are playing him on the wing nowadays though.

It's also cool to see Vake back! He was great last season. Moi Moi not so much.

What's your take on Chong Nee? Hes been a steady riser also!

Not that we need any backrowers.

I get the feeling they are fast tracking him. Can't see him playing SG Ball with Lamana looking good.

 

[sup42]

Relieved to see Crosby back.

Fatialofa and EIT in the backrow is what they should stick with moving forwards. This club has always needed a hundred back rowers....injury curses and all that.

Not impressed by CLeary. But wish him well.

Makes sense to field the best team in SG ball as no conflicts with Flegg and Cup etc. Likely be Ratcliffe and fullback and Lemana at centre like in Harold Matts last year.

At this stage they only have the NRLW and first grade game in the listings, but keep an eye out and they have been known to change closer to the day.
