The first choice Halfback was back for Panthers U21s this week so no action in the grade for Cleary after last week's debut.
Anyone know if he'd be playing in the local comp instead?
Anyone know how Fukofuka is playing this year in Flegg? Played some Cup last year & given a Development Contract but no appearances in reserve grade this year. Looks to have converted from Hooker to Lock. Is he potentially Walkers replacement in 2026?
I'm in 2 minds about Tuaupiki playing Fullback because of how weak we are at gaining territory from kicks. Because of TMM's lack of distance on his punt we need to scrap for every metre we can on kick returns & he's a clear 3rd behind RTS & CNK on that front. DWZ would edge him there too
DWZ would disagree, but his HIA looked legit. Bloody inconsistent though when, due to a head knock, Morrin wanted to have a dust up with Jazz but medics didn't interview
Off night tonight but much improved from the player we saw 2019-2022. He's never even been clutch in juniors or reserve grade though. Good supporting half, closer to a Blake Green than a DCE type who steps up when the game is in the balance
We've only seen him on the other (right) side in first grade but has played a few games there in Cup including a game at #6 where he controlled the left edge
