Hoffman is a mystery - as you have said - what skill/ attribute does he posses that a club would sign him even to a second tier contract - was top 30 last year

Reggies - no middles on the bench - will test the new half back. Despite a shortage of middle, Tetavano a reserve, cant make the bench in reggies(having seen him play afewtimes this year he has been very, very poor)

He needs to be able to sustain his efforts. Plenty of time to develop the commitment needed to get the level of fitness required. At jun level can dominate games. St George have some v good forwards at U 19 level.

Pretty much - the fact he got deal after deal was even more ridiculous - he never dominated at any level and his defence was poor at every level

When Okunbor first played sgball he was known for his poor defence - it was surprising back then he made it to under 20s - people i spoke with at the time who had a handle on local juniors from local clubs felt that there were quite a few who had much more to offer

Its not really case of EEls letting him go - he is free to negotiate with any club n get the best offer in terms of dollars n preferred position - Parra have a lot of $$ tied in the halves fb n centres already for 25 (Moses Brown Gutherson Lomax (all up well over 3mill) - St George are in a...

There are players with x factor in terms of finishing movement - JAC Xerri Chrichton BUT very little creativity and acceleration in the key positions - 1,6,7,9 n 13 who handle the ball the most. Blaze Talagi as fb long term. I know Tracey Taafe are signed for next year but in top teams they are...

Dont know about despondency - i would assume a few players would be aware that services will not be required in 25 - that has potential impact on effort. Watching Flegg on Saturday - whilst there were a lot of changes to what would be the best 17 available ( no Underhill Gabrael etc) and it was...

Its an issue across the club - lots of solid players repping at the different levels and showing they can compete at the level - Woods is the only player that consistently dominates at the level he plays. Unless players are playing within themselves and to instruction i cant find any within the...

Gould explained a couple of weeks back that players would be moved around to see how they go at the next level. Given that sexton turpin Wilson taaffe rested, Club seem to be settled on a top 22 /22 or so from which to pick the FG team ATM.

Few rested - no turpin sexton Wilson. Interested in how the promoted flegg players go at this level.

reggies team today might be interesting - any potential changes to top 17 could be flagged if many rested today

That was the most disappointing. Plenty of opportunities but lack of support n ability / willingness to execute a decent pass highlighted how limited, skill wise, the team is.

Flegg lost 24 16 - second half was better from both teams - dogs had plenty of opportunities - lots of sgball players in the 17 - most went ok.

Dogs have completed probably 5 sets first half. Like an under 10 ten game first half. 18 to 6 roosters. Low quality game so far.
