Perhaps they are trying to keep Topine cheap for a new contract by not playing him in first grade.... I don't know???

It's Mick's first week in charge of the team & team selections, so let's see who turn's up to training with the best attitude & earns a spot.

Also a long preparation week playing on Sunday so that also helps.

Micks first selection week and all eyes will be watching.
or they're going to lose him. If he isn't picked this week he never will be and it's criminal (already is).

Topine is not a first grader
does that answer your question?
And waddles and stinkson are?
He’s a dog’s junior that alone should have him above them 2 frauds. We need to mix our team with experience and energetic juniors like him and Kiraz. It’s working for the panthers it’s time we start trying. Our seasons over already anyways.

No, you havent answered anything. Why isn't he a FGer? Why doesn't he get a shot but 2 proven dud reserves stay in FG?

I'll ask again...what has stinkson and waddles done to impress you so much to waste spots in FG?
He got a shot last year
Showed his nothing more than a reserve grader
I spoke to him on Friday on my way out of Leichhardt
I asked him why he wasn't playing tonight and he said he was mistakenly named.
I wish him luck against Wests on Saturday

With all respect guys ,stop having a high opinion of these reserve graders

I grew up and live in Belmore does that give me a rite of passage into the first grade team?

Topines stats from reserve grade this week.
1 try, 1 try assist, 1 line break, 15 runs for 201 metres, 84 post contact metres, 6 tackle busts, 24 tackles with 0 missed, 0 errors.
If that isn’t enough to push Stimson or Waddell out then idk what is.
I've literally for 3 seasons now been saying he should be in our top 17.

He did get a shot last year and not progressing might have been on Tbaz.
At this point in our predicament we can only be looking at replacing out of form reserve graders with in form reserve graders.
I think that's the push many might be advocating.

Topines performance against Wests was his best game of the year. He has been on the bench for NSW Cup and also played a game or two in Flegg so it is clear the Barrett regime didnt consider him a first grade player - Potter might have a different perspective.

The Barrett regime did consider Okunbor Stimson Flanagan Dufty Averillo as first grade players.

Ok so we are using last year as an excuse now? Wow!

Once again you failed to answer me, but it's ok, I know you can't.

Yeah because he knows the fraud is gone now and deserves a shot at FG.

Nailed it.

We literally have nothing to lose in 2022.

Those stats were against a Ron Massey quality opposition. Massive chasm between this & the NRL

People saying he's too small for FG. He did well in FG last year even if he was just a tackle bot. Why he hasn't had another chance since then on a wooden spoon team is beyond me. It was strange that he went from named to start to out of the 17 completely last week.

We need more effort players like him at the moment.. I hope he gets another shot soon to see what he has. We have nothing to lose at this point.
it was a misprint.
i spoke to him on the way out of the game last friday night

Gonna sound like an Arse. But not being one.

Idont get to watch much of lower grades.

Could younexplain wh Topine is not FG material? And could you give us a bit of a run down on who you think is ready to step up? Or will be.
