NSW Cup - Rd 10 vs Dogs

Posted by EA on May 11, 2025 at 3:18pm
  1. Z Hunter
  2. B Newlands
  3. R Penisni
  4. A Nanva
  5. J Tago
  6. M Hunter
  7. D Hawkins
  8. Kalache
  9. B Hands
  10. T Mataele
  11. W Latu
  12. B Cartwright
  13. R Matterson
  14. Niutili-Schmidt
  15. R Alterton
  16. B Parker
  17. I Mapu-Satiu

As you can see by the names on the list we have many injuries which has resulted many RM players in this team.

  • At fullback there is no Twiddle, Papaii or Martyn so Z Hunter is there as the 4th choice.
  • There is no AMS, Russel (in NRL for Lomax)  or Dunster (not sure what happened to Dunster again!!!) so Newlands played.
  • There is no Volkman so M Hunter is the 5/8. Chosen over Lynn.
  • In the forwards there is no Grieg, (suspended), Pryke (concussion), Lane (leave),Tuilagi (suspended), Doorey (in NRL for Tuivita), Keir, Lussick, T Brown (all injured)

So as you can see the list of unavailable players is massive. 15 Players !!!

                    Yep Joel is right. Lokeni and Neemia are aggresive too in flegg.

              Was that the big fijian looking forward. He provided plenty of meters. But in RM I do not really look at promising players. They shouldnt be there if they got NRL potential.

                You're right EA, but I'm curious enough to watch Valu some more. He's raw but has that natural ability to drive thru the line...
