This is the exact signing Parra would chase.

"Even better he has 1 more year of Flegg."
"at the moment it appears that teams that run the hardest, are winning more games. if Suli can do that, provide some opportunities with 2nd phase or win a couple of set restarts for us, it would create win in itself."

Mind you, we only won 1 Flegg title in the 80's. Only 3 overall; 1970, 1985 and 1990.
JF is the least important comp to win. It's just a fill in comp. Best players of JF are in nrl or cup
Oh i was more so saying it is not overly important, hence my admission of only one title in the 80's. As you said it is not overly important. It is an oddly placed competition. Those who are great are either in NRL or NSW Cup by the time they are 19/20. Same with 21.
Look at our current NSW Cup team and NRL team. Here is who is eligible for Flegg.
Da Silva 21
Tuivaiti 21
Alamaddine 21
Vaivela 21
Talataina 20
Lokeni 21
Funa-Iuta 20
Talagi 19
Visconti 21
Beattie 21
Penisini 21
Fletcher 19
Either in NRL, NSW Cup or injured. I mean that is a lot. As i said before, out of Matts, Ball, NSW cup and NRL, Flegg is probably dead last in importance. The only benefit of it is for kids coming out of Ball to get some good footy under their belt against older players. Once good enough they move to Cup anyway.
Talagi has done that. Petrus has as well, Koina will be next. It is a place holder comp if anything. It is a good league for 18 year olds who show promise to play against stronger competition. Though as soon as it becomes easier, they are into Cup for their proper development.
Gone of the days of Holden Cup where players would skip NSW Cup into NRL. It still happens but is quite rare compared to the Holden Cup days where it was more frequent.
LB, be cateful, some are going to be offended that you would introduce facts into a discussion about lower grades' success or not and what it might mean or not.
Yeah the goal should be for your best 18-20 year olds going to Cup.
I mean EA would know more than me, but Petrus has had two games in Cup, I reckon Koina is not far behind.
But same people who complain how bad we are in Flegg would also complain why aren't certain players ready for NRL as they've been in Flegg.
Beattie is only 20
Even better he has 1 more year of Flegg.
Sorovi and Bloomfield.
