General Jersey Flegg 2025

[BangBro's (still banging)]

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.

I love that call about Wade McKinnon! I was wondering what his running style was.

6-4 Eels lead Flegg out at Kellyville. 15 mins played

 

[Leon Black]

A Faitala-Mariner is in the centres for the Eels

 

[Leon Black]

NSW Cup are on 1, following this game. Referee allowing a lot of rubbish going into tackles, Warriors completion rate appalling, so too opposition. Clear dry day.

 

[Leon Black]

Terrible forward pass from our no.9 after they finally completed a full set. Discipline plagues this team.

 

[Leon Black]

Eels score after an appalling call from the appalling ref. Eels player slips into tackle, not high, pings us, Eels back rower strolls through paper thin defence, 10-4 kick to come!

 

[sup42]

Wow Vea killed their hooker, someone call a coroner

 

[Leon Black]

Ratcliffe horrible take off a bomb, Eels appeared to score, disallowed offside possibly

 

[Leon Black]

Jett taken late by Eels no.9, dog shot!

 

[sup42]

Dam....Jack Thompson wow, sweet cut out ball to a flying winger in the corner...

 

[Leon Black]

Peach of a cut out pass from Jack Thompson sees our no.2 score. 10-8 kick to come. Eels gave away 2-3 penalties, restarts helped us

Ref was gonna dick us eh but the touchie got involved

 

[Leon Black]

10-8 Jett misses from wide out, close to halftime

 

[Leon Black]

Parra kicked out on the full by about 30 metres, must have a fair breeze at their backs

 

[sup42]

Lol Eels trying to land their kick off in the Tasman sea

 

[Leon Black]

One out shit… but somehow big no.8 crashed over on tackle 5, 12-10, kick to come

 

[sup42]

Gee we score one of the ugliest Trys.

Cleary caught on the last, just hurls it out the back, lands in the hands of a prop who puts on some sugar and scores

 

[Leon Black]

Laumalili was the try scorer, had some great runs lead up to previous try, Jett gets off the mark, 14-10.

 

[Leon Black]

Half time 14-10 we lead over the 3rd placed Eels

 

[sup42]

Laumalili was the try scorer, had some great runs lead up to previous try, Jett gets off the mark, 14-10.

I should have looked up our team list...Low man Lee Lee and someone called Tigger something or other are playing....at least I woulda spelled low man Lee Lee Laumalili using my poly vowel sounds ear....but still can't work out who Tigger is apart from a Whinny the poo Character (I know it's Winnie...I was being Ironical/Ironic even....).
