Yes we definitely deserve to loose that game with the amount of possession in the second half and field advantage.
They just looked disorganised but points were there for the taking
HM - both centres are better suited to the backrow - they make yards are hard to tackle but lack the speed of an outside back. The winger Mazzone was good again

Did Alamoti play any local footy after the Covid shutdown last year or was that his first game in nearly 12 months?

Alamoti Is clearly our best junior since Barba. Some kids dominate at that age due to just brute strength. He has more to his game some of the passes he pulls off most first graders would be proud of.

I would play him in Nsw cup this year with the view of starting in Fg Next year.

I’m not sure about that player in particular but I definitely saw some junior games being played in my local area
They looked like late teens perhaps

Alamoti played U16s with Milperra Colts. They won the grand final. My mate was there, i think he said Alamoti scored all colts tries

SG Ball: Bulldogs star centre Paul Alamoti double secures win over Sydney Roosters
Jocelyn Airth

Remember the name Paul Alamoti. The explosive young centre is quickly climbing the ranks at Belmore and his performance in Round 1 of the SG Ball Cup put rivals on notice.

It’s crazy to think young Paul Alamoti hadn’t run out for the Bulldogs for 11 months.

COVID-19 forced NSWRL to cancel junior representative competition in March last year and despite the lack of footy, Canterbury’s explosive centre hasn’t missed a beat.

The local junior, who dominated the Harold Matthews Cup in 2019 and 2020, scored a double to inspire the Bulldogs’ 24-16 win against the Sydney Roosters as Round 1 of the SG Ball Cup kicked off on Saturday.

Alamoti immediately excited spectators at Belmore when he popped a nice ball to winger Brendon Taupuai to score early.

The big centre then threw an offload in a frantic seven-pass play that ended with fullback Kai Brady spinning over.

Second-rower Lleyton Borg was next to cross and secure Canterbury a comfortable 14-0 lead at halftime.

But there was plenty to like about the Roosters, who fielded an explosive centre of their own who set off a courageous comeback.

Local product Jordan Swann charged down a line and beat four defenders to get his side on the board.

The strong centre, part of Waverley College’s 2020 CAS Rugby-winning side, made another brilliant run to set up five-eighth Sandon Smith over.

Fullback Ethan King sliced through to put the Chooks within reach, but it was left too late.
Alamoti bolted over for his two tries and then kicked a penalty goal to seal the deal for the Dogs.

Thanks mate. I feel sorry for the poor kid in local footy having to mark up against him!
Yeah he would have just trampled over the top of them,
probably some poor skinny kid thinking I’ll give it a shot lol

Reminded me of when I was playing school boy football against Dennis Kinchela (James Cook High) - What a sad and sorry speed bump I was that day!!!!

Like Alamoti he had just turned 17, however he was already graded with Saints and played the full year in First Grade.
