Our Future looks good.

Agree but Papa is miles ahead of him for FG

hopefully by 2025 he'll be our fb

Remember a few years ago that teacher went well at hooker during a trial and got picked for round 1 only to be deported overseas after a few rounds . This is what this thread reminds me of .

Deitz......lol

You would think Papalii would be first of the juniors to play fb

Possibly but it sounds like he's going to be playing various roles in the lower grades this season.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Burton to lock?

Be a good place to try hide him, but would likely just get in the way and miss tackles

Stupid if they do that imo. Why fuck him around when Roosters be sniffing around for a fullback soon. Knights have 2 young elite fullback in Sharpe and Armstrong, Roosters will be watching them also with a look at eventually replacing Teddy.

I can't remember who it was but someone on here mentioned the club wasn't fully sold on 100% persisting with him at fullback. Guess we will see

He could easily make it as 6. But his positional play and how he sweeped around from short side to set up the shift for one of our tries was class.
His talk and energy amping players up, I'd want him out the back yapping all game. Hopefully club sees it that way quickly, would love to see him eventually linking up with Critta

I only saw a highlights video. But we look pretty fluent in attack. I know it wasn't the strongest 17 from Melbourne. But it's got to be good for the team to get a win (even though it's only a trial) straight from the gate.

 

[dog 4life]

Burton to another club.

We stuck with him unfortunately, Kid has no clue tbh

 

[1967]

Sorry but wtf is with that last leg? Lol

To be fair he did go very close twice ..

 

[Mak Dogs]

A lot of positives tonight but for me sexton and papalii were the standouts. I’ll wait to judge our pack against better opposition. Anyone know how long we have papalii signed up for?

 

[KiwiDog7]

Who was the kid wearing 24? He looked promising too

 

[Mightydogs]

Our future spine Hayward ,woods ,O’Neil , Papalli

 

[B-Train]

All of the Flegg boys were very impressive. They'll be pushing for FG spots very soon.. The present isn't as bad as some people thought and the future looks brighter than even the biggest pessimist would give the club credit for..

 

[B-Train]

That was O'Neill. He must have had a few try assists. Showed great hands, timing and vision with a lot of his play.. The combo all of the Flegg boys showed together and that set scrum play were exciting to watch.

 

[B-Train]

Plus we still have others like Woods, Marshall etc to come into the mix in the next few years.. Hopefully we keep as many of them as possible and they can help us become a consistent contender in the next few years..

 

[Cappuccino]

Bro his last run literally stopped before engaging the line.

He's mineral depleted bro

 

[John Matrix]

How good is it to finally have competition for spots and not being forced to play someone because you have no choice, future is looking really bright for the club.

 

[CMP]

Biggest problem is the depth we have in the backs tbh so many of the boys would expect to start round 1, good problem to have! Thought the front row boys were very refreshing Posa/Hughes and the young boy Todd. Knight was just trying to hard I think he’ll be better for the run after CC gives him the don’t pass the ball talk

Agree the backs will sort themselves out.

Whether they are all ready for the week in week out riggers on the NRL I’m not sure. But the second line on Props coming through was encouraging to see.

Before last night I had King, Knight & Hughes inked in with a lottery for who else filled the fourth Prop position. King is in. Hughes looks like he is ready to take the next step. Knight needs to play big minutes next week and play well to hold his spot.

FAAMAUSILI looked good
TODD was very impressive. Although I don’t think he is even in the development squad from what I can see.

 

[TOTTO]

Nothing to get to excited about this year but nice to see future players giving it to future storm team.
