General NSW Cup 2025

Did tanahs performance push the case for a Boyd Metcalf halves combo? Give Metcalf the 7 but Boyd takes majority of the long kicks. It’s Metcalfs team but feel we’d be a more complete side. Be similar to a Hynes trindell combo. I like CHT but with our current structure and play style I feel Boyd fits our side better

Hard to tell but it's beneficial for Luke to not take on all the kicking duties, after all Walsh was able to influence a game without playing as a 7. Could come down to CHT vs Boyd if one's kicking is better than the other's running/defense.

Tend to agree with Gus we probably need another team in Auckland. Maybe not in the NRL, but the Warriors should look at fielding another Cup team. There is just way too much talent. To lose only twice and to have so many debutants at the NRL level tells you how much league talent is around Auckland. Just got to look at Paulie Roach who was one of the better players for Burleigh

More the merrier but we have Lussick as a prop and Afoa/Ale/MGT/Kosi were leaving and Tu's our winger 🤣

Not for mine. The 7 needs to be a real threat as they dominate the touches in our system and get the freedom to play either side of the ruck. They also have the keys to deciding which side of the ruck we're playing. The greater that initial threat is, the better for our attack.

Metcalf can be our runner, and we don’t need CHT just because his defence is better imo. It’s a helpful skill set but secondary to his playmaking roles

Who s going to pay for it?
Dont think Robbos pockets are that deep.

Another senior side just develops more talent for others to pick up. You can’t squeeze any more talent into one 1st grade side.
Another Auckland side makes sense on many levels, , but the NRL have said that any new team has to offer new commercial revenues and a new audience without impacting a current side.
 
More excited to see next year's NSW Cup team.

Might not be as dominant but it's the full transition from the covid era team to our junior pathways development team.
Will be mostly this year's Jersey Flegg team graduating up i.e. Sikuvea, Moimoi, Norris, Pasikala.

With some of our younger members of this NSW cup team playing larger roles. Salalilio, Tuipulotu-Vea, Putoko

All the key players will still be there though, but will be interesting to see if any underperforming first graders are put here i.e. DWZ, Marata etc. Its a pretty deep top 30.

Heart and soul of the club this guy and will be missed. He’s instilled that passion for the club in the next crop and Erin Clark mentioned on SJ’s show about how much he brings the players together off the field too. Good luck Bunty for your next endeavours brother

Just seen hundreds of farewell thankyous from fans to Bunty on Facebook
And a couple of interviews
Says he s not an emotional guy
And the club is in good hands
What a gentleman in the true sense
 
2 Tannah Boyd masterclasses in the last two weeks were key. On the back of a great team effort, his added class in guiding the team about and his kicking in general play were huge. He seemed to have more confidence digging into the line than in some of his latter FG runs.
Loved following this team ( and the unofficial commentary from @Leon Black ) and the other lower grade sides. So good seeing so many members here genuinely interested in the pathways and with a great understanding of the talent coming through too! 🙌🏾
Chur Falcon appreciate the call out… it’s great the youngsters get the experience of winning at Homebush on GF day.

Field a ChCh cup team to lay a foundation for a future NRL team or QLD cup team
