SGI NSW Cup
Agree, winning is nice but its a development pathway and maybe they just didn't gel well as a team or with the coach, but a quick look at the more experienced individuals in their 2nd year of Flegg:
o Spine: Ward/Quinn/Rumble/Hjaltason would be looking to move up to NSW Cup spine next year.. I think Rumble is a lock on fullback (unless Sloan drops back), I dont know who the 9 will be (if they r worried about Hjaltason.. perhaps Muhleisen could stay on a cup contract?), and im not sure how seriously they rate Ward or Quinn.. because i think we will buy a 7 yet, and I think LKT is the 6... these positions are no joke, these are first grade depth positions.
o Other Forwards: Liu/Webster/Tsougranis/Watchirs are our experienced forwards, Nick will def play NSW Cup, Liu and Webster you think would also.. given we are losing a few more experienced middles like AlecT and perhaps Coric and dunno about Fifita yet... I didnt include Stewart (or Egan) given he is already in Cup most weeks. Watchirs I dunno what they will do with him given he ends up @ctr most weeks.
Maybe a few of them can stay in Flegg another year yet? Esp for that first few months until the wave of SG Ball kids move up.
Aston Nick Q Kyan will all play Flegg again.
Ben will move up but is no guarantee of playing cup when only on T&T
Guys like Webster Liu Watchirs Trav Baz Miller will go into the start of year Cup side but will probably see very little Cup time.
