  I wouldn't go that far, even Tuivaiti would not be a good idea playing no Cup at this stage. Martin back from injury too not great.

  I think Tago will debut next week as short turnaround and Sivo's hamstring did not look good.

    I would put Tuivita in come next week and give him a chance in FG at the end of the year.

  EA, where are all the players from SG Ball from last year playing? Are they any good or are there just 1 or 2 players worth the step up to grade. 

  There still seems to be a bunch of never playing FG sort of players in reserve grade.

    Last year SG ball side

    1. Twiddle - been swapping between fb and 5/8 in flegg. Has easily been our best attacking threat when ay 5/8 as he either scores or sets up every try in that grade. He will be pushing for a chance in cup next year. (Turned 20 this year)
    2. Almadine -been good at flegg and one player I have been pushing to get a chance in cup asap. Real potential. Meter eater and tackle breaking winger that I have spoken about a lot.  (Turned 19 this year)
    3. Talagi - ofc everyone knows about him now.  (Turned 19 this year)
    4. Richie - did ACL in pre-season. So will need a year before being a chance of NRL.  (Turned 19 this year)
    5. Vaivei - in and out the flegg side in centre.  (Turned 19 this year)
    6. Lynn - been in and out of fleg and cup. Still needs to find consistency and improve his defence.  (Turned 20 this year)
    7. Sanders  - ofc everyone knows about him to.  (Turned 20 this year)
    8. Tuivita - was great in under19s of the bench. Still in flegg. Already top 30 next year. Needs a chance in cup surely ASAP. (turned 19 this year)
    9. MA - ofc everyone knows about him (turned 19 this year)
    10. Faulema - in and out of the flegg team. (turned 20 this year)
    11. De Straddis -  starting to be a regular in the flegg team. Been used a centre backrow or bench. (turned 20 this year)
    12. Guymer - NRL debut is imminent. (turned 20 this year)
    13. Pryke - Played a couple of games in cup this year with limited minutes. Hopefully more game time in cup for him.(turned 20 this year)
    14.  Pikaula - played SG ball this year but cannot crack the flegg side due to the quality in there.
    15. Lewis, Spence and Stradis - played a bit of flegg

    The ones to watch that have not played NRL are:

    - Guymer, Alamadine, Tuivita, Twiddle, Richie, Lynn, Pryke.

        Brazel was pretty good defensively in cup this week. His first proper stint in cup this year. This year and last year, I never really rated him that much (did have an ACL injury in 2022). Maybe he is finally progressing.

  We've signed Lane , Matto , Asi , Greig and god knows who else on that list , for at least another two years so we can't just ship them off . It'll cost us a fortune . 
  
  

  We are literally stuck with this team . The only way out is to drop a few " stars " and pray they get the shits and leave .
