General NSW Cup 2025

[BangBro's (still banging)]

A couple more questions and serious answers if kindly possible

1) Does he have a don't argue
2) How is his edge defence?

Yes his don't argue is when Talakai is running straight at him

How far away is Bishop Neal from Cup? That kid is going to be next level!

He's years away. Everything with him is all completely reliant on his size and physical advantages atm.

Eg Timing and angles on his lead lines is terrible probably because it doesn't matter at that level. He just powers through anyway.

He's not even the best player in that Matts team atm. He's definitely the best long term prospect, but Byford has been the best by a mile imo.

I'm really not sure harper has ever recovered from this.

Agree, he's got all the physical attributes but the effort areas are definitely not there at the moment.

I hope he's worked on is defense then. The reason he got injured and been out so long is his terrible tacking technique. Was using his face & neck to tackle lol. I'd keep Ali right where he is. We lack any attacking threat in that backine. Ali is the only threat we have. Pompey sure ain't it.

Roccos injury last year was huge in terms of our derailment of a season imo.
Can't wait to see him back in 1st grade Ali is good but Rocco is far better

Looking forward to Berry being back

If he is up to speed I'd give him back his right centre spot and move Ali to the left.

I reckon an Ali > RTS edge could be lethal

Defensively, I agree. I do not pick him ahead of Ali as a attacking threat. No shade at Rocco. He has the ability. I'm a fan of both. For different reasons. One's an attacking threat, The other is defensively superior. Both have time to work on those areas they lack in

 

[Dannevegas]

Excited to see Berry and Crosby. Hopefully Berry has a good game straight back into grade with Ali on the left with Rog.
But our first drop wingers for grade are looking like Harper and Kosi. Like come on why is Kali on the bench and get Amituanai in there. Also Doyle at fullback

I wanted us to sign Talakai after this... I should have known.
