Wow ... suprised with Bergamin (and yet retaining Cerruto).

Going to be running really lean in the backs next season, unless some are dropping back (Holland/Montoya/Crichton/Meaney).

Carr was decent and showed ability, but has had two injuries this year keeping him out for most of the season.

Maybe with the broken jaw they don't think Bergamin will get much game time.
Presentation was before kick off on Sunday. Broken jaw has nothing to do with it. Was not re-signed is all.

Every year it's a difficult balancing act with lower grades.. there needs to be players promoted to ISP from juniors and unfortunately some players cannot be retained as a result.... I think this is where the previous administration failed miserably..

Looks like we're betting on okunbur to be our winger next year

FG
Hoppa
Smith
Holland
Chricton
Cerruto

NSW Cup
Meaney
Okunbur
Harper
----
Montoya

Okunbor is a first grader if he wants it imo.. can be a bit lazy and get caught out at times/ has an error in him, but I thought he was really good on Sunday and if he puts in he definitely has the ability

I agree, I'd rather see what Wakeham can do in ISP then Cleeland or Brown can considering he is 7 years younger and has a higher ceiling. Will be interesting to see which backs get promoted.
Wakeham has far more in his kit bag, hope he can reproduce in higher grades

Perhaps we'll see Clayton and the improving Tass promoted?

Ogden and To'omaga must be in first grade in my opinion, I'd take both over Sue and Fualalo.

Both Ogden and To’omaga benefited from playing longer minutes in NSW Cup. They made quite a few errors when they played first grade. I think this will be a very interesting off season and I hope form dictates who is chosen come round 1.

I think it was simply Bergamin was off contract and Ceruto has a year to run on his.
I think Cerruto is a better player TBH. Right call. Cerruto is very well regarded amongst people in the know (in the NRL).

FG
1. Hoppa
2. Smith
3. Holland
4. Montoya
5. Justin Olam (if true that he’s signed - if not Crichton)

ISP
1. Meaney
2. Cerruto
3. Olive
4. Harper
5. Crichton unless if he’s in FG per above then Okenbour

Okenbour will prob move back to 12, although I’d prefer him on the wing.

I don’t rate Cerutto at all to be honest. He’s under size and has terrible hands but I’m not the one getting paid big bucks to make roster decisions so I’ll trust the ones calling the shots.

cerruto is a decent size FB. Much larger than Meaney I think
