Harold Matt's made second week of finals
SG Ball making GF (going undefeated in regular season)
2nd in Jersey flegg
Top 4 in NSW Cup
Looks like forwards and halves are deep while outside backs is thin
Our pack looks of the future great Sam Tuivati, Will Latu, Jeziah Fanu, Demascus Neemia, Tony Matale, Ryda Talagi.
Lorenzo Tailatana (SG ball player of the year), Twiddle, Hunt, Lincoln's Fletcher, Lachlan Cokknias.
Obviously not all of them will be stars but haven't seen this amount of talent in a while.
Hopefully 3-4 make debut next year.

Hi EA ,
I rate moey but he is not playing well at moment . Maybe the changing of halves on a game by game basis is just putting doubt in his game . Dom Farrugia had a nrl pre season , played full year in Sg ball and was good without being great . I think we have a few centres /wingers coming through with the best imo being AJ - Johansson. Beautiful runner of the football will only get better next year.
Yep I think losing a pre-season due to injury would have definitely not helped Moey.
I do not rate Farrugia at all.
Yep AJ is good. Moala and Coby in HM are good too. However, from the half a game I saw from him, I think Sorovi will be the best of the lot. Shame his season didnt last long due to injury. But the half I saw from him was amazing.
EA i wish yourself and whoever else is really into the pathways to go through the list and give a sort of idea of who to look for in next 3 or so years. I know that can be hard but you can get an idea of some players. Like i think comfortably we can say Funa-Iuta and Talagi both play NRL at some point in their careers. Polley if he is that good will for sure as well make NRL.
Maybe even give a player comparison too. Like from look and sounds of Polley he seems like a Cam Murray type. When i watched Coinakis in Aus schoolboys he reminded me a lot of Blayke Brailey.
It's in the works already. Will focus on SG ball to Jersey Flegg.
HM I did the mid-season report and that just carrys through. So just refer to that
Just been busy with work and life.Hopefully done soon.
Athletes EA just tell me we are filtering athletes through our system.
I can teach football but I can't teach speed and athleticism.
Do we have anything in the Layban Halisima Vaimaga types
or the Nicholson Young Taimale types which Canberra and the Warriors have developed nicely just real power athletes that change games.
This is what Parra need to look at targeting in there pathways urgent athletes.
Or we could do what you have suggested for a while and look towards the pacific islands.
I think we are definitely pushing for athletes right now. I think thats why we are not 100% consistent right now in the junior grades. Lot of raw ability and talent which is making them win games but lacking the experiences and football nous to be consistent. But as you say, we can fix the experiences and knowledge but not the raw ability/athelticism.
All good, look forward to it. Do not put things on hold for it though, we can wait.
