Thanks for extra info @ AyiosYiorgos AyiosYiorgos
A good mix of local juniors and imports. Liking the Penrith juniors we keep poaching. Notice a few from Ipswich High too where we picked up Loko Tonga Jr and Peckham-Harris. Forgotten his first name for the moment

Are you talking about 2024 SGBall squad or the 2025 SGBall squad, i can't see anyone from 2025 squad making it to the NRL , we have all these other youngsters who are in front of them, also LKT was only picked due to a necessity not because he demanded to be picked due to form.
2025.

Is Xavier Kirk the brother of is it Tom Kirk played for Jersey Flegg this year? Tom Kirk was only 18 turned 19 I think, So Xavier is only 17 or 18max?

No

Speaking of fast 9s, hows that hooker from Jersey Flegg this year, Kyan ********* going? Is he highly regarded at the club, mid-range or already sent on his way?

Kyan Hjaltason, the club doesn't rate him, he has offers from other clubs, he could ask for a release.

Is that little fullback still around? Another with a hyphenated last name. Tyler Pekham-Harris or something like that. If he put on a growth spurt, he might be the best of the lot. But has to grow at least another 10cm in his teen years. Probably unlikely.

He's 20 next season, he's growing days are over. The 10 missed tackles in his last game should put a line through his name.

Do you reckon any of them might do a LKT and go from SG Ball to first grade next year?

Players in their second year of ball that stood out in their first year are always a chance. Jake and Cyrus fall into that but I doubt Flanno gives them a chance.

LKT would never of played if Kyle didn't get suspended. He picked Rava after dropping him before he picked Sav.

Thanks for the info even if I don't like it. Need to concentrate on youth. First order of business is LKT to play 5/8.

Just on LKT not being picked because of form, maybe Flanno didn't want him to break 50 tackles, score 10 tries and assist in another 20. Flanno just wanted him to show he could tackle, remain cool under pressure and then just play his natural game.

Any news when the Illawarra SGBall and Matts Squads are announced Just a Mug Fan Just a Mug Fan
I'm looking forward to seeing that, I gave myself a brain aneurysm trying to work out the age of each player and whether they would be backing up for a 2nd year of Steelers SG Ball... I have a feeling maybe half the Top 17 might have been there in 2024.

Could potentially be a big year for the Steelers making a run at the title.. a spine of Mason Phillips (I suspect), Kade Reed, Aaymon Fitzgibbon and im not sure if Lucas Borg plays again (assuming Kirk wont), Meafou as captain up front.. Amone(s), maybe a Buchanan (or maybe not), just seems like a team that will play finals.. but it is a competitive comp to be fair... lots of good squads, and we are split between the 2 teams.

Not sure, got an idea of most of the SGB squad.
Off the top of my head the team could look like this,

Borg
Kirk
Buchanan
Heidke
Egan
Fitzgibbon
Reed

Taufa
Phillips
Langdon
Clark
Weatherall
Meafou

Clifford
Kennedy
Bailey
Manago
Another Buchanan? Surely Hayden will be in NSW Cup.

Just to add to that Lewis Sargent Wilson who played half for Dragons Daley Cup side will move up to Dragons SGB

We are also chasing another half and Cooper Hale a tall centre from Penrith.

Junior Saifiti will decide what SGB team he plays in when he moves down.

Bear in mind it's still early and a lot will change.

Under 15 development trials have started Steelers boys flogged Wests amd Eels.
Any news on this
