Jack Rogers was playing for the Burleigh Bears last year. He didn’t play Q Cup at all - he played 5/8 for their Reggies. I watched one of his games.

It's also possible they are down playing local A grade; Como haven't released a player list yet and Gymea had a bye in round 1.

Como had a forfeit from Paddington, from what I’ve heard so far I don’t think they’re expecting any big names from the Sharks.

Thanks for that.

I was wrong about Como too. Jangala Bennett is apparently playing for them along with another couple of sharks.

Watched the second half of this game. Lots of new players in this team and Roosters have a pretty good team and so there was no real standouts.

Couple of things to mention.

- We must have the smallest wingers ever. They seemed pretty capable but they're short.
- Fullback looked pretty decent, like to see more of him.
- Kula looked good
- Pele is even bigger than last year.
- Hooker gets very involved

Defence is very good, only let in 16 points all year so far.

Currently only team undefeated. Have the Panthers who are second this week, so another good test.

what was the score geezer?

 

[Tiger Shark]

8 -6 our way.

Think it was 6 all at half time, then we kicked a penalty goal in the second half.

There was a fair few breaks etc, from both teams but neither could take advantage.

Cheers - Here are a few others who are in the 20's squad but not the top 17 ..

Nathan Atkinson - De La Salle
Cooper Bowen - Engadine
Jangala Bennet and Lachlan Scarpelli - Como
Mitchell Brennan - St. Josephs' 20's
Luken Caldwell - Gymea 20's (he was a trial player for the Sharks. Not sure he made the squad)

Getting belted by Penrith, 44-10, with 13 minutes left

Tough night. Full strength too - other than the boys up with the Jets.

Score line says it all but this was a blood bath.

The Panthers just made break after break, broke so many tackles. Seriously our team looked like they were fielding an U16s team they were out matched physically.

I'm not seeing any future Frizell's, Peachey's or Holmes in this squad that's for sure.

Not all bad, between Nikora, Katoa, Carr, Wilton, Ferris, Mulitalo, Brailey's, Trindall and Xerri we have a lot of youth to bring though.

Chad - William Swann is also playing for University.

No idea how he is going. There is no footage for the Sydney Shield early in the year, but in previous years NSWRL starts to add more coverage of lower grades around June.

Thanks mate, I really appreciate the info and we’ll see how he goes.

He’s doing well in his apprenticeship so that’s always there for him.

Jangala Bennet is named on the extended bench this week. If he gets a run it could be entertaining - the Thunderbolts are pretty ordinary.

Kayo are streaming some of the Jersey Flegg games this year but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out in advance which ones they are doing. The Kayo service is great but the tool itself can be tricky for actually locating the content you are looking for or providing a "TV Guide" of what is coming up. Hopefully we get 1 or 2 Sharks games.

How’s Pele going? I remember seeing a highlight package of his. Looked like he broke the line for fun

He's a big human, certainly makes an impact when he plays. He reminds of Junior Paulo alot.

I think he's a bit of a project player but certainly has the size to make an impact, fitness will be the biggest thing.

I've liked what I see from Kula, but he's always been highly rated.


Outside of them for the love of me I am struggling to see who the gun players are - to me atleast there's still no obvious Frizell, Peachey, Holmes, Brailey etc type player that screams first grade. Sure Raper and Longmuir and solid but not sure on their first grade potential.

Be interested to know other peoples thoughts on who else to watch out for.

 

[BurgoShark]

Yeah Tiger - I think this team is looking like a good solid team without star potential. It's probably significant too that almost the entire team are in their 19yo year so their is plenty of room/time for improvement. E.g. At 17 Briton Nikora couldn't make the "A" team at PBC, and at 18 he couldn't make the Sharks 20's starting lineup.

Obviously the best five U20 players in the club are the ones who aren't playing U20s. Outside of that I rate Millard, but only to a similar point as Polselli (worth keeping at the Jets for a year or two to see if he develops) rather than as a future NRLer. On Pele, I find sometimes got a bit of that Fifita sloppiness about him (lazy play the balls etc.). Needs to sort that out.
