Cup observations

I have watched the last couple of weeks in cup and just have the following observations. Im only going to comment on people who haven't played nrl and have potential to.

The score is currently 16-10 at haltime against the Warriors, which is an awesome effort. I wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors ran away with it in the 2nd half. They have only lost one game this year and we have a very weak team. Lussick and Hands the only top 30 players playing. Keir and Pryke the only dev players playing. Even Latu and Nanva are unavailable or rested.

Twidle is a huge threat with the ball. Everything good in attack usually stems from him.  Definitely has nrl potential. 

Sam. L is having a great season. Seems to have got his body right and is playing some good footy. He knows how to do the spectacular put down as well. I seriously think he deserves a dev contact or at the very least a full train and trial over the next pre season. 

Pryke is getting better and better. Has developed some good passing and offloading skills. With a few more kgs on his frame he'd be well suited to the nrl.

Lokeni is getting a run on the edge and looks very strong. Would like him to get more time at this level.

 

Max Tupou has been the big surprise for me. Came back from injury last week and has come back like a house on fire. Unsure of his contact status but I think he has to be given an nrl pre season next year. He's a big mobile middle who has been running very hard. 

Kayne Kalache will never play nrl I don't think but he has been so reliable for the team this year.

The one negative is Smalley.  Gee he is lost in defence, both on the wing and at centre. 

Keen to see how Neemia goes in this second half.

  • How many weeks does Smalley get for the brainfart with 10 secs to go?

    • Hopefully enough to rule him out for the season.  Such a liability.

"If it's a mixed bag I'm guessing he goes back to nsw cup and plays 6 for a while to build his confidence in the role. But let's hope he kills it "

"What if he has an OK game where he does some good stuff but stuffs up a few times as well? 
Is that a tree way?"
