2026 NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg

[Frank Facer]

For experience wise I'd keep Lawrie on a NSW Cup only contract to use his experience to assist our youngsters coming through.

Sele yesterday was a bitter disappointment 2 runs for 15m 2 PCM in 40 odd minutes , unless he was injured he doesn't start in 1sts next week.

I wouldn't keep Lawrie on a NSW cup contract. He would be blocking a potential future prop for us.

I dont like TPH on the wing, he gets really monstered in the air, would prefer him at FB but they have Sloan there, should swap I reckon.

Same but I can’t see them moving Sloan to the wing at all this season

With Lawson back TPH more like to drop out

Would love to know how seriously they are looking at TPH.. not sure if hes on a T&T or not.. its just tricky cause they probably cant afford not to be keeping Sloan fit in reserve grade in case of a gutho injury.. thats the club priority.

Once Sloan goes though, TPH surely next man up, but are we still hunting for a young fullback? Maybe we r.. I watched a bit of Kini yesterday, got jumped over (by Hammer whos not even that tall) to lose the game just like TPH let in a few tries on the weekend.. but that was a tall winger... thats probably the 1 real issue.. and its a big one.. but Kini is an international fullback.. does he have more acceleration than TPH? Hes a little bit bigger I think.. would love to see them side by side..

Is TPH still young enough to play JF?

Yes. This is his last year.

Mug did say they were both back this week
I expect it is about final fitness tests ... If Reed passes he plays otherwise ONeill, if Lawson passes he plays otherwise Coutts with Tsougrannis/TPH moving one out. ...

That is a guess though

the fact that they moved him up into NSW Cup last year, even though honestly we rly was struggling to hold a spot in U21's.. like they couldnt find a spot that would work for hi..... to me was an indication they saw something.. maybe its a slow burn though, couple of extra preseasons with his small frame.. it could also just be that we dont have anyone clearly better outside of Burton and Walker who are still young.
