Some thoughts after watching the game,
- Great job recruiting Brandon Norris. Didn't think much of him at first because usually kids recruited from Australia into pathways this late in their development aren't really sought after prospects. But he is a genuine talent. He's looked our most dangerous player the last month or so. Constant linebreak threat. He should do first grade preseason this year and move up to NSW cup. I think we could see him on the wing in first grade in next couple of years. He has speed, which we lack in our pathways.
-
Jack Thompson is starting to get more confident and looking like his old self, starting to take the line on way more. Jospeh Ratcliffe reminds me so much of
Wade McKinnon, just always there in support. Those two will be way better for this Flegg season and should dominate SG ball next year.
- Starting to be less and less impressed by Harry Durbin. I guess the club loves him because he does the 1%ers well and defends well. Could turn out similar to
TSS in a best case scenario but not really seeing a whole lot of upside. I guess you need these kind of players at your club though.

Kahu Capper has looked a lot better in Flegg than he did in SG ball. Simplified role and not trying to be hero has done wonders for him. He's actually a pretty safe player when he's not given too long of a leash.
- First time in a while had two 120kg+ starting proprs in Rodney Tuipulotu Vea and Tepatasi Laumalili. Rodney has some silky passing skills. Hopefully they can develop and improve their motors.
