..... this U17's side is surviving by the skin of their teeth.. absolutely not going to challenge in finals unless they can get their halves sorted imo, but 4 wins from 5 games.. they are finally into the Top5.. just hope they can get Chapman, Amone, Burton and Coehlo fit and playing together to finish the season.. they r the heart of that side.. Tausala also has been important.

They can definitely challenge in the finals. You have to remember that they have only played good teams. Its an uneven competition and they haven't had the benefit of playing any easy teams.

We’ve found fletchers burner account

He’s played in the halves every round except this mate

The halves also did not play ‘well’. They were ok and were carried by the studs on the team which is fine
He did not play in the halves last week. Last week Lewis (left) and Fitzgerald (right) were halves, while Couchman played lock from off the bench.

They could do Chapman for 20mins at hooker, but Chase has been good @14 also, I reckon they will strengthen us with Chapman @13 or @7, may aswell field our best players out there... the halves currently r putting us under a lot of pressure.. Chapman seems good wherever he plays and has played halves before.

Fitzgerald is the best 7 (if his defence can hold up). Chapman is the best 9. Also, Chapman at 9 improves our middle defence.

Just catching the end of the SG Ball game.. was just about to post how we'd won 4 from 4 today... but we've given up the lead with 3mins to go which sux.. but forced an error with 60 seconds left.. nrly got a try at the end... but sadly another loss for the brave SG Ball team.. season over esp against a weaker side like Wests.. I didn't catch the rest of the game though.

I’m actually shocked wests are as low as they are. The names in that side are impressive

Just not enough quality in the side this year for Steelers in comparison to previous seasons

It’s been spoken about already but I’d LOVE for them to just combine the 2 pathways sides like Flegg do and have 1 genuinely great team every year.

I’m sure the scouts/staff would rather watch 1 game rather than 2 especially so they can miss ST George getting spanked by 40 every week in Matt’s and ball 😂

Ive been wanting the sides to merged for years also.. I do understand the counter-argument(s), but I dont think it gives the kids the best experience to be outgunned for up to 4yrs in their development.. probably doesnt help us recruit the best kids, or extend their contracts (Ah Kee says hi).

I would also like 'the best coach' to be working with them... and yes selfishly I would rly like 2 less games to watch..

But the Roosters just went and added a 2nd team themselves.. all be it they have literal bottomless pockets.

Roosters sort of do just merge them in the end unofficially. They have taken the central coasts best players like the Fesolai bro’s and Carter Mareko and plopped them straight into the Sydney roosters SG ball team instead

It’d be like us moving Ah Kee and Phoenix Johns to the Steelers

see that would be perfectly fine.. 1 gun side 1 feeder side.. problem is our feeder squad has to be the steelers which is sort of a bottomless pit of decent young players... but thats most of our talent atm.. maybe we could play 'StGeorge Illawarra Dragons' + 'Steelers' but stack the first side.. I dunno..

Roosters CC struggling hard atm but assume in time it probably gets stronger.. but will never be dominant if they keep taking the best kids out.
