Second week in a row that Bishop Neal is off the bench, I wonder what that's about.

Poor work ethic, needs to be humbled and sort attitude. Amazing talent but needs to develop other aspects of his game

Reminds me of NAS, but NAS seemed more committed.

Yeah I like it. Off ball work is poor.

Is this opinion based on you knowing him, something you’ve heard or from how he plays?

I don’t know what fans expect of a 16 year old that’s 6’3 and 110kgs plus but he makes his tackles and gets involved plenty on attack. I believe he’s coming off the bench so they can start with 3 halves. I don’t know the kid but have been told that he doesn’t talk himself up at all, he’s not cocky, just confidant which is what you’d want from a player with so much potential.

There are bigger forwards in the comp, the two props from the Sharks are giants. What Bishop has over all of the other big boys though is his speed complimented with a bit of skill. The challenge for the Warriors is to help him stay structured without coaching the footy out him which is pretty much the same for all juniors with X factor. He looks to have put his offload away which is a concern but they’re winning so what would I know.

Is it poor work ethic? or they are preparing him to play up a few grades…….off the bench

It’s definitely this.

Why burn him out in Harold Matts when Jersey Flegg is such a long season. Give some other U17 guys an opportunity.

He’s made a few lazy defensive reads but I’ve never heard his work ethic being questioned until now. He still gets stuck in on yardage etc and is a good trainer by all reports
