Jersey Flegg losing again to fellow cellar dwellers Manly. What's going on with this team?!

Edit. I'm contradicting myself. They are struggling because basically a whole team of Jersey Flegg eligible players are in NRL, NSW Cup or injured. I still wish they were winning much more.

Like Firsts they lack an enforcer. a couple of big Polynesians in the engine room, a ball playing half and above all lack of discipline. How many times in 30 mins have we handed them possession thru poor ball security and in our end zone.

Pring (f/b) needs to go back to Group 7. Too small, weak under the bomb, and ball return. Basicly lacks any skill.

Heidke needed something with that runaway try as he has been rather ordinary up till that, specially defensively. Toby Rumble has had a shocker. Something his big brother has done too.

An important win as it moves us well up the ladder. Still a chance for the finals if we can find some consistency. Need more from Reed as prime play maker as at the moment Peckam-Harris is outplaying him.

Flegg win (20-14)... the Flegg team is a really hard team to watch (I dont rly like watching them, bit better with SG Ball being moved up now).. self sabotage with quite a few players not quite up to this standard.. puts a lot of pressure on the others:
  • Basically Heidke in his second game... scored 3 tries, one was an 80m try would you believe for a centre.. also took a contested bomb when we were under the pump, literally the only reason we eeked out a very well fought victory.. he will have to be moved up to NSW Cup later this year... hell maybe he can even play wing if necessary after todays performance.
  • We did defend our line numerous numerous times, so credit for that.. but we also kept giving them the ball, there are a few like Pring we just have to move on from, I assume Borg was injured... but even if its not him there must be someone a bit bigger and more athletic.
  • I dont want to pick players out.. but... Toby Rumble has these errors like his brother, hes so frustrating to watch, even dropped back after his cup debut, I thought he had some rly good signs earlier in the season, but he puts us under so much pressure.
  • Lyric I feel like struggles a bit, it seems like you need to be bigger and stronger every league you go up, which is why its surprising Buchanan has made it this far, Lyric has nice feet but seems to get put on his bum.. and im not sure Afu is a winger.. he got burnt embarrassingly so for his first try where nothing was doing.
  • Reed is getting better in his 2nd game.. hes atleast scheming and playing whats in front.. got sent off for 10, was a little unlucky I thought, maybe a fraction of a second early tackling someone... but didnt affect us... TPH still keeping the seat warm i feel.
  • Forwards were nothing too interesting.. we struggled early but tbf we came back in the 2nd half.. I thought Hikila really stamped his authority.. forgotten man with all the big name 2nd rowers.. but he runs with real venom.. tbf he did come in against a tired defence though, but good on him.
  • CST didnt play, Treweekes didnt play.. I didnt actually notice DMeafou, but thats on me probably, was watching distracted..
Desperately needed that win though, but imo we need to move a couple more SG kids up, kids with bigger bodies, couple I assume are injured which is the problem.

I just think Dmeafou, CST, Tonga will take a little longer to come on, Latu is moving much faster, but whatever hes is gone.

And yeah NSW CUp we have dropped 2 tries over the line cold.. 1 was Nick trying to improve the position and didnt see someone who hit the ball out.. another was RFM just i cant even explain it just dropped it cold.. but tbf we scored soon after that moment.. manly have made tonnes of errors.. rly kept us in the game and made up for our errors..

LKT is kicking a lot more today (not particularly well though), i reckon coach has had a word to him about firsts at some pt.. Tonga is playing a big game i think he knows hes next now after Latu left.

Liu must be close to a contract also.. not sure if he will be Dev next year or Top30...

Hopefully we go on with this game, we have been far and away dominant, just didnt capiitise on it.. RFM good try there makes up for that earlier one..
