Who is the better player at a particular age matters little in the scheme of things ....

At this point in time Woods is an excellent attacking player with genuine pace but with MILES of work to do in defense ...... To be frank he was pathetic defensively in the GF on Saturday .... absolutely clueless on how to go about making a head-on tackle .... he was targeted and had NO reply.

O'Neill was and is a far superior defender with a much more solid all-round game .... Has looked better than Sexton in reserves.

IT's a classic case of low floor, high ceiling (Woods) .... high floor, lower ceiling (O'Neill) .... that much is very obvious already.

Woods is getting all the wraps (awards) at the moment, but he wasn't the best player i saw in SG Ball this season .... He is a little overhyped in my view.

Not writing him off in any way as he is young and still eligible to play SG Ball next season .... i had hopes he would move up to Flegg this season but i fear he is not physically ready.

I had Woods rated higher than O'Neill 12 months ago but that has flipped.

Will be very interesting to watch their careers unfold.

I think the importance of being ready physically for the next level(s) is understated - cant really tell just watching a game here n there - rates of physical growth, amount of training undertaken n needed - im not sure souths did the right thing with Munro going from Sgball to Fg in the one year - two shoulder issues already! Players might have the skill, speed n temperament but the consequences of not being ready physically can be extremely damaging.

Oneill has always been willing to run and take the line on which had become increasingly rare in over th elast decade or so - halves had become passers kickers n directors.

Conti will be another Rajab imo. Bloke is incredibly small and unless he has a growth spirt I might change my mind. Obviously talented players but physically let down

Full year in NSW cup was always needed regardless of form. Hopefully they take this approach with him in 25' and see what he's got for 26' in FG

Agree 100% mate, needs games under his belt and work towards big minutes in NSW cup. He shouldn’t see FG again for 12-18mths which is best for his development physically and mentally.

It was never going to be a quick fix. Tbh I’m surprised how quickly it’s changed through all grades. Our juniors are performing better than Parra’s and Riffs and even now flowing through into our NSW cup squad. Club has definitely turned a corner and everyone should be excited for the next couple of years of fine tuning and integration of our pups.

Up the Dogs.

What happened to the #sackgus movement?
Click to expand...
There was a sack Gus movement? Would want to sack him to if I were an outsider which certain pricks clearly are seeing the juggernaut his building. Gus must have 30 hours in his work day what his done with the juniors in the period his been here is fucken insane. Only he could’ve re built this club in the rugby league scene IMO.
