        • Chiefy, if Sarantinos has been at the Eels since 2016 and O'Neil since 2018, can you tell us how that adds up to "46 years of failures under Sarantinos and O'Neil"?

          Enquiring mathematicians want to know. 

          • Shhhh Daz let him go, it is comedy gold.

          • Add the years of failure from every team Einstein 

        • 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.

      • Sorovi and Bloomfield.

"Bingo! Spot on LB.
If he's fit he'll be picked and he absolutely deserves to be.
Like every single club we want our best players playing for us week in week out still. I'm thrilled for Moses when he's picked, and sad for our team. 😁"

"If medical team fail him, then pass him for Origin not much we can do. NSW would have their own doctors to test him out. If Moses chooses to play our hands are tied.
Many say "Just tell him he is not playing". We can do that but he has every right…"

LB replied to Mallee57's discussion Will Moses be in Origin 2 & Should He?
"Will he be picked? Yes.
Should he be picked? Yes he is one of the best halves in comp so it makes sesne, with some doubt over the preparation for him missing 3 weeks.
Do i want him picked? No."
