Opinion Red hot reggies

It's a strong side, but the problem with all these extra fringe first graders we have is they could block positions for up and coming juniors we need to gain experience. I'll be pissed if Taffe or Tracey end up playing FB in cup and Papalii being put on the bench or played out of position. The way this clubs been going we'll do exactly that and let another club take Papalii off us.

If Taaffe ends up being dropped at some stage this year I'd say its highly likely he takes the fullback jumper in cup and papa will drop back to Flegg again, people need to remember he is only 19.

Great news about Fox coverage.
If NSW Cup side performs well, there will be immediate pressure on a number of players in the main game - Taaffe, Hutchison & Morrin come to mind.
Sharks thenext Friday night and then Titans at Belmore.
So the screws will be tightened on anyone underperforming.
Will be interesting to see how BBO goes. I don't think we've seen enough of him to rule him out as a half solution before O'Neill and Woods are ready.
BBO has always struck me as good at reading play, but hasn't had an extended opportunity to be the main organiser & show what he is capable of in game management.

We've seen enough of BBO, he isn't it

Televised on fox too guys!

Is it just fox or Kayo aswell? I see games where it says fox and Kayo but this game just says foxtel?

 

[flamebouyant]

What time is it on?

2:05pm mate.

 

[flamebouyant]

Thank fuck the women's game hasn't started because they'd be showing that instead of the reserves

I'd much rather watch the reserves (of anyside) than the women's game. Reserves are the next batch of nrl players

Agreed!!

 

[NPC83]

They would go close to beating Wests Tigers FG I reckon.

Does anyone watch girls league, I'd rather watch pickleball!

I think BBO is the weak link in that Reserve Grade side.

Thankyou. Much appreciated

Fox owns Kayo so yes both!

Funny you say that, I thought he looked good in the Māori / Indiginous game ..

JAC gave him huge cred on Mansour’s pod cast ..

our FG side is basically 50/50 with Tiger.

 

[flamebouyant]

Thankyou. Much appreciated

No worries mate. If you look on the NSWRL website under "Draws", you will see all game times and team lists for each round. They also mention whether they are televised or not.

 

[Lynchpin]

We will run up some decent scores this year and go close to winning the comp

In NSW Cup as well, I think.

Top 4 baby ! Cup will go OK too

He played hooker in all stars game which appears to be his best position. Not nrl standard half.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Where is O'Neill in Flegg?

I also think BBO is a decent 9/benchie but can't see him usurping Mann for example this year(chance if there was an injury i suppose)and Hayward is also maybe a better 9/sub than a half too, yes?

 

[Lynchpin]

Where is O'Neill in Flegg?

Yes, in Flegg. And the right move too, I think.

Yes, he's (more than) good enough to play in NSW Cup, but Sexton has the #7 there for now (and rightly so), so I would rather O'Neill play #7 in Flegg than #6 in Cup.

He can run his team (as the main guy), hone his craft, and get ready to jump over the top of either Hutchison or Sexton, depending on who falls out of favour in the top grade.

If he delivers on the promise of what we've seen so far, he'll be the main #7 in cup by mid-late year, and depending on where all of the chips fall, might even be closing in on an NRL debut by year's end.

I'll definitely be going to more nsw cup games this year.
