We were there last year. Great venue for the family. Easy to park and I think it was only $20 for a family of 4 and $5 for each extra kid. Shame about the NSW cup result, but we really enjoyed the venue and had a great day watching all those grades for $25
Yes definitely in Bulls team their Fullback and Lock are both very good players. Both are still young out of SG Ball Bears. Also good halves and hooker.Any middles in all that lot
There's some big guys for Gus to look at in Bulls team at least.
Pushing to quick, needs more time. Same happening at alot of clubs, these special opportunities come from player managers wanting them in top 30 $$ yesterday and very few can hack NRL to early.
I still can't believe we played him @ halfback in reserve grade and then promoted him to the firstgrade team. Pure desperation from the club.
He had a lot of time off though, probably needed a couple of games to get back into the swing.
I think that was his 3rd of 4th game back.
Its stupidity, at Panthers you have Jesse McLean, he has always played up in Harold Matthews, SG Ball, Jersey Flegg, Reserve grade, and now NRL, fast tracking to quick. Isaiya Katoa at Dolphins is another.
The hope is 4 or 5 will graduate to the NRL in the next few years. That would be amazing!
3 games isn’t enough after having like 2 months off. I think he’ll be way better this week.
The Panthers team that won the Jersey Flegg GF last year had 2 players debut in the NRL this season. One was Isaiya Katoa who played nearly all the Dolphins‘ games & Hohepa Puru who is starting lock for the Raiders this week in a Finals game.
Most of Panthers Flegg side this year were eligible for SG Ball still. If they wanted to fill there trophy cabinets more they easily could, that is the massive difference between them and everyone.
But the point was Jersey Flagg players can play NRL the next season if they’re good enough. We have a couple of players that are capable.
Very few are capable, the physical difference between Flegg to Ron Massey to Reserve Grade to NRL is alot. Normally only spine players can do this.
Hohepa Puru is a middle and is starting a Finals game for the Raiders. He was in Jersey Flegg last year. It is possible.
His seems to be in and out of games, last week he was quiet, had a few good touches but needs to be more involved.
Hohepa Peru would have been in his last year for Flegg this year, alot getting mentioned are only 18 to 19 playing Flegg, Masin Teague went to Dolphins from Panthers but has struggled in NRL to early.
