NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg, 2025

On other sites everyone that knows nothing about football were complaining about how Sloan should have taken on the fb with a kick and chase and that cost us a win against the Warriors. So yes it's hard to explain to the so called armchair experts.

I’m of the belief that Sloan should have backed himself and taken the fullback on and try to get past him with his speed. He definitely had the momentum in that play against a flat footed fb. Even if unsuccessful, back yourself son and have a crack. Not blaming Sloan at all

That’s why I’m not cranky like some others. The young bloke had a couple of seconds to make a call. It is what it is. The last 6-8 weeks have been great to watch, things are definitely turning the corner and a brighter 2026 is waiting. Can’t be any prouder of the effort.

The joys of 2025. Whats disallowed one week is a try the next!! Not sure if you watched Manly v Tigers. The try to Taylan May with Samuela Fainu running ahead of the play!! Like wtf. I thought NFL started in a few weeks. A team is going to pay a huge price in the finals with these bird brains in the bunker

Is the bench hooker, #3 really going to start in the centres? Is my count off saying 8 Flegg eligible players are in Cup this week and 4 more are in the NRL team? Disappointing loss last week but with half a team moving up from SG Ball against a lot of Newcastle players who have played NRL was always going to be difficult. Slipped to 3rd on the table now but hopefully recover to be 2nd over the next 3 games.	For me this is a case of who's who. Not in the sense of full of stars but who are they. A lot of them anyway. It'd be good to see what #6 and #7 can do behind a good, steady pack which isn't bringing in a few new ones every week. Guess we'll have to wait until next year. Another disappointing loss last week but they are only playing for pride so remaining healthy is more important than winning at this point

The 18th/19th men from tonight can drop back for NSW Cup also, not sure if thats a huge improvement or not.. if it was Sloan for example, maybe Ramsey could play ctr.. but maybe its not worth the mess.. RFM you would think will take Sloans spot we shall see..

I guess finishing 4th means playing Warriors in NZ which is not a great result.. but ultimately we just want some form before finals.. we (and the eels) will get some players back which Warriors/Jets/Panthers wont in early finals weeks.
