After 25min it is 0-22. Inexperience showing. Only Doorey, Maka, Ogden, Cini, Mataele and Lunelume from this team are NOT in their first year in cup. To top it off, Doorey is at centre not his usual spot. None of those players are even standouts either. The errors as well as we cannot complete a set
"If it is Matto, not a bad tactic to get him off our books quicker.Let him stew at home knowing he'll need game time to secure a decent 2026 contract. Might just be enough to tip him over."
"Thanks mate. I do plan to do a junior blog towards the end of pre season. Will see if SB is interested in doing that too.
T Brown is a different body shape to what we have. Similar to Jesse Bromwich. Solid work ethic and good footwork for someone…"

Eels down 16-0. Some one sided ref at the start for some reason compounded with eels errors.
the middle defence cannot handle Newtown. MA fell asleep at marker for the first try.
Dreadful errors. I really don't care how good you are there's no excuse for some of these errors.

Sanders with a great footwork to get a line break (plus a poor defensive read) and than dummy the fullback to go 40m.
22-6
HT.
-First try MA asleep at marker.
- second try poor read by Doorey at centre left lumelume stranded. But Cini should have still stopped the try.
- ran straight through the middle from 10m out. Think it was Makatoa and Parker as the defenders.
Is MA perhaps distracted from the news about his release?
I don't understand why we don't send him down to Flegg and use Ryley Smith in cup.
We have Nava and De stradis on debut. Alamdine on his second game. Pryke, Brazel, aldertom, Lynn have barely played cup before
