Just watched the Steelers v Dragons mini-game for SG Ball, few comments:
  • Steelers Try 1: DMeafou sets it up with a decent run and a nice offload to a trailing Weatherall who crashes over on his first game back from suspension.
  • Steelers Try 2: leadup.. big run from Weatherall > Big run from DMeafou > big run from Langdon who spins and gets it down.. all 3 of these blokes werent available until recently.. 3 of the steelers best forwards.
  • Steelers Try 3: Stand-in centre Ezekiel Kennedy just gets low from dummy half and pushes 3 blokes out of the way for a try.. like he wasnt diving.. he was just crouched.. either hes freakishly strong or thats some really poor defence.
  • Dragons Try 1: J#14 Blanch from hooker just delivers a nice long ball to Boyle #6 who draws and passes and there is a big overlap already... the pass finds Meldrum #4 who puts away his winger Makhlouf #5 in the corner, I think the inside steelers defence was to blame there, it was 4 on 3 as soon as the hooker passed it... even with the fullback coming into the defensive line to assist..
  • Steelers Try 4: DMeafou charging at the line and very hard to stop.. just pops a nice little offload at the last moment to Phillips who goes in untouched.. 2nd try-assist for Daniel now.
  • Steelers Try 5: Halves working together, Reed throws a nice long ball behind a decoy Jackon.. to give Fitzy a little bit of room.. he gets in between 2 defenders and a simple pass to #12 Sadler who falls over the line.
  • Steelers Try 6: Breakspear #20 who is the 18th man.. hope that doesnt mean we had multiple HIAs.. gets it to Fitzy who shoots a long ball across several defenders to stand-in centre Elton #15 who scores a simple try..
A lot of tries thru the middle today.. Steelers in 2nd gear just too good for the Dragons, even with Kirk, Heidke, Timmo & Borg out.. I do hope some of them are back in weeks to come though, they are missing 4 out of 5 of their outside backs.. and a lot of class.

just takes 1 injury and you dont see a kid for an entire HM/SG season.. so frustrating.. Leeroy should atleast play the back half of flegg season I guess.

Yeah surely he does, there’s some absolute dross in Flegg so I expect a fair chunk of the SG ball lads will move up

I do wonder what the club does with Heidke and Buchanan contractually. They’ve both had very similar starts to their career in that they’ve been standouts in the centres for the Steelers.
2 completely different profiles though. One short and fast, the other big and powerful

With Buchanan moving up to NSW cup to cover Allans suspension.. there is almost noone left in flegg that ive been keen to watch.. hard to imagine that would be the case with the 2 strong SG ball sides last year.. but back end of the season you'd think there will be plenty move up.. I wouldn't mind even if they bought 2or3 up from U17's (Ollie, Ah Kee and perhaps CMeafou).. not sure if thats actually a thing or a no no....

But I reckon Timmo is good enough to be playing Flegg also (if fit), Heidke the other side.. and Buchanan perhaps staying up in NSW Cup.. if there is room.. I mean we have been kind of lucky with injuries to our backs so far, but that can change quickly.

How have the U19s been going? Since the regular season started, I haven't paid attention to it. Last I remember reading is that the Steelers keep on getting better but no improvement in the Dragons. Is that still true?
