General NSW Cup 2025

[Playdaball]

I got TSS weight from the official Warriors club stats - maybe he had put on 8kg?

 

[Five&Last]

TSS is already pretty polished defensively (hence why he's debuted so early in his career). And the things he lacks on attack, tbh most players don't develop later in; you either have it or you don't.

I don't think he "needs to time to develop in NSW cup", he's just a low ceiling player which is fine

He doesn't have great footwork, he's very undersized for a prop with his style of play, doesn't have a passing game.

I just don't think he can ever be in your squads top 3-4 props and expect to be a successful team.

We still need that alpha prop to come through the grades somewhere. Salalilo is great but the prop i'm most excited about is Emosi Ravosai, if you squint hard enough there's some Payne Haas to his game. Big guy and just everywhere on the field.

TSS reminds me of Jazz Tavega he even looks like him

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Does anyone here think MGT could've been converted into a gun winger???
Similar to Alamoti, was a centre at the bulldogs turned gun winger at Penrith.

Moot point now, but I cant understand why they didn't try.

This has the commentary and you get the atmosphere better than Warriors Anon elevator music videos.

If EIT can't play due to injury who comes in? I'm predicting Going to edge, Ale to start & Rodney Tuipulotu Vea to bench. Will be surprised if they give the opportunity to Crosby if he's leaving

 

[Fangrl1234]

Hope Ali makes a full recovery from his ankle injury this offseason and comes back better, there's a weapon in there somewhere. We need him to because our centre depth is still a worry next year if we don't end up getting Farnworth, perish the thought.

Just got to get his defence sorted which I am sure with consistency it will come

Was reading posts of him looking overweight during the game. Couldn’t see it myself when I watched the highlights, but definitely bigger

I think it will be Rodney also.

One way or another the call is going to very telling of the contracts next year.

No way EIT backs up, he looked in bits, hopefully not serious and didn’t affect his preseason.

He’s Sam Rapira for me. Even looks like him more.

Yeah he’s a bit bigger than Jazz

He did lack match fitness for sure. Wouldn’t have hurt for him to have the season off and come back stronger for next year but all good

Sam Rapira>TSS. Rapira was one of the best props we had. Had the best leg drive of any prop.

Eddie sprinted onto the field at the final whistle looking fresh as. I’d be surprised if he’s out.

hope your right bro..i like the look of that kid

 

[shuffle]

EIT is a machine. Reminds me of Simon Mannering.

 

[Defence]

They any good?
Have they dominated Qld cup like the Warriors ?

They’re good- haven’t dominated to the extent the warriors did but they’ve timed their run well.
I didn’t play NSW cup but from people that have played both Ive always heard NSW cup is faster, Qld cup more physical.
Warriors should win really but I wouldn’t sleep on the bears- there’s a lot of belief in that squad and some smart players in key positions.

I suspect Ali is done.

Watch the no effort again and again when he knows he is being targeted.

People posting he will come right have forgotten he was playing in a frkn Grand Final ffs.

Don't like to write players off prematurely but he has that same disease Fusitua and Vailea had.

No heart. You cannot coach that into players that have none.

That's a very Bold statement for a kid plagued with injuries unless you're very close to Leiataua, at the start of the year he was ranked up there with Halasima and Vaimauga.
Only time will tell.
