Crosby looks to be the starting the prop alongside of Rodney Tuipolotu-Vea. We are very deep with young middle forwards.
General NSW Cup 2024
- Thread starter Billyspleen75
- Start date
no he played last week
Can anyone report on Crosby’s fitness, cause he sure looks like he has impact. He also seems like a smart guy too. Could be a real player and seems like the coaches see something.
Front rower Preston Riki was named the Vodafone Player of the Year in 2018 and winner of the Sonny Fai Medal for Vodafone Junior Warriors. He was picked up by the Panthers 2022 in the 💙 Mighty NSW cup and has now been called up by Ivan Cleary to make his NRL debut. Riki was born in Rawene and will play alongside James Fisher-Harris in the front row.
81 games of Reserve grade (would've been over 100 if 2020 wasn't abandoned) before he finally cracks it. Recently turned 26 so could still push out a relatively long NRL career. Great perseverance

Will be good to see Luke Hanson at 7 to see his kicking game
Haven't seen much of a kicking game, but he sure has a decent pass.
The team is also very young, maybe the youngest in the comp?
Hats off to the club for pushing the young guys above their expectant pay grade as many could be still running around in 19’s and 21’s.
Strategically throwing them in the deep end will certainly develop their game while observing how they handle the increased pressures both mentally and physically of 💙 Mighty NSW Cup, a precursor to eventually making the step up to 1st Grade.

Fuck me! That made me cry! Go well son!

My NSWRL TV app is saying it still doesn’t start until later, maybe they’re having to do delayed coverage for some reason. Pretty annoying, I was looking forward to the game, being bye week and all.
The App and updates on 💙 Mighty NSW Cup page are being managed by work experience kids… woeful, no coverage at all
At all or delayed?
Game hasn't started, starts at 3:15 I think. Jersey Flegg is on at the moment 12 8 us.
Yeah they were pumping stats into the cup game instead of the fleg game.
