NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg, 2025

but Glover has been better.

Dragons half-back Jonah Glover is attracting the attention of Super League clubs over a possible transfer to England.
I also understand he has already been offered to other NRL clubs. Is clear our club does not want him, so pointless giving him a FG debut.

horrible kicks

All our long kickers in both grades are duds. Rarely find the grass to create some pressure. Only Chad Reed has this ability and to find the sideline. The offensive coaches should be monitoring this and having all kickers using the same play page.

 

[Edward]

Heidke and Hutchinson to stay in NSW Cup for the rest of the year please. NRL next year.

 

[Eric]

illias is a dud, horrible kicks

His kicking is bad but takes on the line and passes in traffic.

3. Heidke
2. BMM
1. Finau

Ressies running away with it now. Panthers are cooked. When was last time they were this hi on the ladder midway thru the season.

but takes on the line and passes in traffic.

Need to be patient with this guy. Give him another yr or two to gain consistency and game management ability. If unable to we have a ready made home grown kid in Chad Reed to step in.

Finau

Bite the bullet Mr Shane Flanagan.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Ramsey looks phenomenal, genuinely can’t believe how good he looks after what he’s been through off the field

I know its Reggie’s but he looks a class above basically every week

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Heidke

Is he being fast tracked? Looks to have a big future in the RedV. Big, pacey with some ball skill. Like I wrote last week he reminds me of former Saints centre Ken Maddison who you wont have heard of Eric.

The attribute of a genuine play maker. Need to be patient with this guy. Give him another yr or two to gain consistency and game management ability. If unable to we have a ready made home grown kid in Chad Reed to step in.

Who is Chad Reed? Illias passed it to Molo when we were 5m out who was easily covered by the defence. One of his 'attacking' kicks went 5m & the other 15m in no man land leading to horrible field position. Illias puff pieces are ridiculous.

His ball playing on our sweeps has improved. Dominant performance by NSW cup team, some good signs with the youngsters.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

A 38-6 hammering. Will enjoy watching a replay.

Not a knock on Buchanan because he’s very talented as well but Charlie had a better game today in his cup debut than any game Buchanan has had at that level

Im putting it down to the Mongrel/Intensity/Strength of Charlie, even his defence was top class

Jersey Flegg Notes (30-38 Loss):

• Missing a bunch of kids to U19 Origin and Heidke up to NSW Cup.. very vulnerable.
• Penrith kick off the game with a short-dropout that goes 20m and catch it unopposed.. and score first set, thats not a good omen, I thought there was a gentleman's agreement to kick long early in a game...
• We didnt even touch the ball for 8 minutes, Panthers are really on today.. this is brutal, long periods of scrambling to defend against a side that is big and fast today... feel like this defence will hurt us later.. 0-16 after 22 minutes.
• Despite the penrith dominance.. we have bombed 2 tries with forwards crashing over the line, 2nd one i dont even know how its possible I think he got it down but judged to have fumbled it.. potential game changers but instead we hand the ball back for more pressure =(
• 30mins in and finally we get down their end and Reed puts his 2nd rower away! 6-22.
• Next set and our props cart us up big and strong.. 5th tackle Reed chips and regathers and puts Lyric away under the posts.. holy lol.. the Reed show again... 12-22.
• Game in the 2nd half was up for grabs, but we kept giving away penalties or errors at the wrong time, and Penrith r too good to keep doing that too.. when they get close to ur line, they throw speed and size and its very hard to hold em out.
• Reed puts on his 3rd.. short aerial kick into the in-goal for Hammoud to score on his return to footy after a long lay off... 18-28, 30mins to go.
• More penalties just keep gifting panthers out of trouble.. dud call also.. eventually we get the ball back and Reed puts another short aerial kick up for Lyric to take the mark and score.. 24-34, 14mins left.
• Rubie has been going off (prop who nearly played nsw cup this week), another attacking raid, reed sends it left to Hammoud with quick hands and TPH a really quick bat on that goes behind Borg (playing ctr), but a catch and pass and Saifiti cuts back in to score out wide.. was a good finish.. despite all the penalties against us were still in it 30-34, 9mins to go, Reed has kicked every goal so far.
• Had our chances to ice it late but penrith defended well and we werent good enough.. penrith went the length to score with 2mins left.. great game in the end, one we prob should have won even with our players out.. 30-38 final score.

Who is Chad Reed?

Dont ask me, try Kade. ha ha.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Missing a bunch of kids to U19 Origin

Who Rev?

 

[Mailroomsgi]

lost Heidke and Jarrah Treweek who would normally play flegg because Cyrus and Buchanan were selected along with Halangahu who’s a cup regular

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Not a knock on Buchanan because he’s very talented

Dont enthuse me. Too much of a hog, a glory hunter and at times when tries go begging because he has not fed his winger. Baffled how that makes him Origin material. Surely there are better centres around than him. For mine Heidke and Te Moananui have more potential than Buchanan.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Rubie has been going off

He has been impressive. Has bulked up since last year. Also think big Leroy Weatherall is better suited as a bookend. Too slow for the edge.
