Compton Purcell named on the wing for Penrith? One that got away, wondered what happened to him.

Injuries and a lot of eligible players are playing up in grade. I was working just switched on, should release Durbin, not a fan at all…. Saw one of his regular knock ons under zero pressure!

I don't know what to read into the gulf between our table topping cup side and our flegg side which is closer to the middle of the pack. Maybe they will improve next year when our Harold matts boys make the transition to flegg. But maybe this is the part of our development pathways that still needs work....

Rugby league in schools.

That is the difference right there, always has been, even when I played school boys in Sydney and club under under sixteens in Auckland.
This is how we catch up here, we go out and get a few hidings from the Aussie schools and our boys get training and coaching at the Warriors while gradually closing the gap.

If we could pick 2 grades to not be a success, it would be the 19's and the 21's.
You're not allowed to play above your age grade if you're under 17, so if your team wins that grade, they're literally beating the best in their age group.
Then once they turn 17+, the best 17/18 year old's move straight to the U21's, and the elites are already playing men in NSW Cup (eg. Halasima 2 years ago).
The best 19/20 year old's aren't playing 21's, they're already playing against men.
So if you could pick 3 teams to be successful, it would be NRL, NSW Cup and U17's.
I haven't compared the age of our team to our opposition, but you could easily have a bunch of up and coming 18 year old's playing against group of slightly more seasoned 20 year old's.

Would've been part of our Flegg side next year.

Can't keep them all. He probably just wasn't a priority for us and there was a better opportunity at Penrith (i.e. play Flegg earlier/this year).
