2026 NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg

Watched the cup game back, gheez that halves combo looked unreal

Wish LKT could play like that more often, looked so locked in and demanding of the ball.

Dovetails well with Reed because their both so naturally inclined to play like the 6 and 7 respectively

I genuinely think it’s not all doom and gloom with the roster despite what many say, couple tweaks and introduction of some talented young guys into the fold and 18 months from now we could be much better off.

Side note - I think Drinkwater is a massive catalyst for the attack if we sign him, stats the last 5 years are incredible

The thing with a new coach is they get that first year grace period so the pressure is quite low
In saying that there is a fair difference between the intensity and speed of 1sts v ressies in my opinion

Willie Talau is recognised for all of the good work that he has done from Juniors to Cup successes. He, in my opinion should transition into either the Head Coach or assistant
💯 David. Willie Talau has this Ressies team humming, with the first 40 of yesterdays game about the best structured half of footy I have seen in any grade probably for the past two seasons. With the big boppers Loko, Kerr and Jake making big metres up the middle our backs came to life. Bout the best I have seen from Lyhkan since he arrived as a 16/17 yr old school kid, everything the boys did he was up to his neck in it. Surely he convinced his coach that he does possess both ball skill and vision. Reckon Haele Finau has pinched Muhls spot permanently now, as he has also been terrific. If one criticism of both, it is they lack that sharp edge in pace and agility needed for FG.

I think Talau is a good enough coach to recognise this RVH, its just a matter of finding a spot for him.
Correct he is. But someone, probably Talau, wanted Quinn back here because he provides ball skill and versatility which he cant show by sitting on a reserves bench week after week. His play making worth is being wasted.

He has come back into a lower tier deal - was just a depth signing not on a supplementary deal or top 30
Depth signing being used as a depth signing with those on higher deals getting the playing time in reserves

LKT ran with an energy I didnt even know he had.. im not sure where thats come from or if its sustainable.. or if it was just cause we were dominating.. but yeah it was rly nice.. he is still rly young also.. just has a lot more experience than Reed and 1st grade level.

If we have Sami, Drinkwater, KK and throw in a competent 7.. were alright.. then throw in a coach with an air of excitement about him.. then yep we shoul be able to compete next year.. we just need to sort it all out before Nov 1st, we have a lot of our best forwards potentially on market.

Note that Heidke would be an absolute game changer if he actually stayed healthy.. would let us push Suli to left ctr, Holmes to Left wing, Sami to right wing.. like that fixes everything.. but how do u get ur hopes up when hes never playing.

One thing Bellamy has always been big on and losses his shit if it doesn't happen is the whole spine pushing forward every play.

3 of our first 4 tries
Photos a bit blurry,
Kerr offload H Kade LKT and TPH
Jarrah offload Kade LKT and TPH, H just behind.
Cyrus offload Kade LKT and TPH
That's were tries come from and games are won

Guess Flanno was busy weeding his garden again as he clearly doesn’t rate the cup boys and has zero fu**ing interest. What a knob. Hopefully he was told to stay the f uck away

Maybe he got mail Flanno is getting sacked and suddenly LKT's energy and enthusiasm came back.
