Didn't he get one game early in the season?
That was fifita, he might've been 18th man?

I think Fifita had 2 games and Alec T one but O might be wrong.

Alec T hasnt played first grade (bar preseason).. tbh I think its because Flanno hasnt got him factored in for 2025.. so why waste the development time, particularly when we have several others that need it.. Fifita got a lot of the games early but I think he gave up on him at some point.. since then its MMolo and Couchies.. tbh our injury count this year have been pretty kind... Ryan cant get a start.
I will say that Alec T always impresses me with his runs off the back fence, but someone pointed out the stats.. and both Couchmans usually have triple his metres when they all play at the same time.. numbers arent everything, but hard to argue.

I've like what I've seen of him as well. Surprised his run metres aren't very good.

Although the Flegg won comfortably I don't think they played that well. The Fiji boys very physical 3 on report.
Rumble 4 tries and an assist, his long stride gets him in the gap but he has a lot of work to do in other parts of his game.
Cyrus stood out again with some good runs played centre again last 20min
Finau impressive again starting to offload as he gets more comfortable.
The halfs combined well.
Jesse moved to left side and seem to get more ball. I'd say 10 runs for 80-90m
No stats yet

I got to see the earlier Dragons/Fiji game in round 3, and I was surprised by physical the silktails were.. I didnt think the win was assured until later on when eventually we got on top of their defensive deficiencies.. but the fiji boys are yet to win a game.. so this must be a theme.
o Hopefully Rumble trains with first grade over the off-season, I think Rumble is the cup fullback next year, but he needs to start rounding out that game, they are big shoes to fill if he keeps moving up... there is noone else between him and Sloan.. other than fill-ins like Matt Feagai or Allan.
o Stanley-Traill has been playing a lot of ctr, is it just to fit all the boys in the squad, or are they really contemplating he might play there in higher grades? I think I watched him get burnt earlier in the year in that position, hes a big unit.
o I noticed Jesse was back on the left, wasnt sure if he is far more comfortable there or not, thats where he played in SG, I assumed maybe he moved to make life easier for Barnes perhaps.

Just a Mug Fan , is Buchanan injured? Also noticed Hamish Stewart 18th man for NSW Cup, but looking at the bench.. hes just forced out because its close to full strength with MMolo, Coric and Tonga in front of him. I think thats fair, I was commenting elsewhere that Tonga in just a few games has already gone past Stewart in the pecking order (imo).. and I think hes just warming up still. Havent written Stewart off, but I reckon he needs another 12mths before we can judge him.Few missing from Jersey Flegg also.. centre combination of Watching and Stanley-Traill.. 2 x 2nd rowers, was wondering if we would see Watchirs again.

Didn't notice him missing, I'll ask.
Edit HIA wasn't picked up in game delayed effects. He's out for 2 weeks

Ethan is a Dragons junior and TK Steelers, they have both played last 2 weeks.

That is what I said. Lacks true pace and is not all that elusive. Touch and go for the top grade for mine.

Put 10ks or more of muscle on that frame and he'll be a tackle breaking machine. And that is far from unrealistic. I think he might put that on before round 1 next year.

King-Togia unable to crack a regular 5/8 spot. But is he a born full back. Doubt it, perhaps a lock when he fills out or a utility. Brown is better than Ressies for mine. He'd be my utility now instead of Bird who Flanagan cant seem to keep dropped.

The rubber kind of hits the road at this point though.. Rumble is probably the NSW Cup #1 next year (unless Sloan drops back), that means hes in the queue for first grade injury cover... he has to be progressing quickly by that point.... I dont see enough Flegg to know how that is coming along.
The other possibility is LKT plays fullback next year.. I mean I dont think its his ideal spot.. but if they did sign Shuster or Marshke stays etc.. I mean it could play out like that.. they have been backing LKT for a few years now..

LKT has skills but FFS, I'm so tired of our slow backline. Ramsey might be back next year and be able to play on the wing or even centre. Rumble or Sloan at fullback. Either Feagai and Suli in the centres. LKT hopefully 5/8. That will be a much faster backline than we have now.

Two Jack Quinns??? Not your doing
Eric, blame News Corp as every bloody week they print Jack Quinn for Nick Quinn. The #12 shud be Jack Quine. Scored a sensational try a couple of weeks back.

Then he'll likely be less quick and elusive/agile and more suited to the pack, say a ball playing lock. This guy does not grab me, not be worried if he went elsewhere to be honest.
