trust me there are alot of good local forwards there not given a chance, only local forward in the starting 17 pretty sure was ony seve, rest are non local/qld kids, and most of the stand outs of the sgball team yesterday where the locals, woods, seve, rinakama, rest of the kids enjoy the free flights the doggies give them
If some are still in School as our side is u-18 maybe this was the only game some Qld players could play? Or maybe it was a bit of a trial for them to see who to persist with and keep flying down?

I know it’s only one game but the Matts and Ball seasons are very short. I think it’s more important Ball do well this year considering the talent and money invested. Therefore should we raid Matts etc for some forwards?
Massive game next week for SG Ball against Newcastle who defeated Canberra by 50.

Will be played in stinking hot Cessnock ... Penrith at Penrith the following week.

The draw has done us no favors ...

Not writing us off in SG Ball but the signs are ominous ....

Fortunately, Woods and co will likely be part of the Flegg squad moving forward.

Yeah that was a big loss last week seeing as we are playing likely one of the strongest teams this week (who we beat in the matts gf) and Penrith are always pretty good. Yep agree hope Seve is up to playing flegg this year and then hopefully cup and fingers crossed some NRL to the back end of 25.

Absolutely ..... it really does play a big role with young players.

Weatherall Stacey, a standout from last season was the last of many who have succumbed to homesickness.

Many years ago, we signed the captain of New Guinea, Bal Numapo, he was regarded as their greatest player.

He blew everyone away at training .... fastest and strongest player by a street ... Bullfrog was chuffed thinking he had found a real gem.

Only problem was he was from the "highlands" and was absolutely terrified of traffic and Sydney in general.

Lasted two weeks.

Damn.

Didn't we in the old days have the young lads staying together somewhere? I seem to remember an Aunty of the Bulldogs or something along those lines? She'd help them settle etc.?

Or is that just my imagination?

Still do - have a number houses in Belmore where they stay - re HM and SGball short season and the fact that the Dogs fly players in n out for games etc means that a lot dont stay down here long unless they get upgraded to flegg after the jun rep season.

Just signed up for a free trial to NSWRLTV app to watch SG ball live and there’s only recorded games?! Don’t tell me they charge you and don’t even show live games?? That will be an easy cancellation if so.

Yeah I forgot that they only used to do a few games every round. That means only highlights will be available for other games. Dammit I wish I had of remembered this before doing the free trial, I would have waited for our games to be streamed.

Watching round 1 sg ball and gee it’s going to be exciting to watch Woods over the coming few years. His speed of the mark, reading the play and clean up work is at such a high standard. In less than half an hour, he has scored an individual try from sleight of hand near the tryline, he has made a break or two, taken an intercept and cleaned up an in goal grubber and managed to get into the field of play. The kid definitely has it.
