well i see someone has finally turned off the leaking tapp
Magic have called off 17's and 19's for tonight already. How precious are they with their ground. Are they saving it for the GF?
Any news on the other games tonight? If they do get called off I bet the muppets at northern will reschedule it for nxt Wednesday when state of origin is on
edgy vs lambton all games postponed
How do you say this? Did you go and have a look at the ground and deem it playable?Quote:

What is the difference, it is still two games and the younger ones probably wouldn't do as much damage as the older grades.Quote:

Heard that Phoenix have appointed last years Central Coast U20 coach, rumour only.
yeah Tappy undermined by the central coast lads apparantly. 2 Lightning coaches taking over.Can't understand valo really, they'll get demoted, these coasties will leave and they will have to rebuild, perhaps using one of the strongest junior bases around :banghead:Quote:

Tappy can't have his cake and eat to, he made his bed by signing out of town players, he now needs to lie in it
What was he to do mate, people dont want to play there more because of committee, not tappys fault, im sure he would love local players to come flocking to play for him...... wish tappy all the best........ sure if he had good cattle it would work better.Quote:

Marcus Duncan 17, currently playing jets youth, Southy junior, played u23s last year with a couple of first grade appearances, was a member of our young futures programme among many other 17 year olds currently playing 23s, to add to that there's the Johnson brothers who are Southy juniors that also came through our development programme and have been first grade players for a few years now, I hope this answers your question, there's a few more but I won't go on with itQuote:

There's a few coaches in newcastle who have always had good cattle and made that coach look better then what they really are, some even will tell you about their success as a coach but fail to mention the dollars spent and how good of players he had but also there are coaches who back themselves and bring kids on through their own coaching abilities, there's not many but at least some coaches are honest with themselves
Been saying this for years FR, there's also quite a few coaches who won't go near a developing type club or a club without a full list of established players where you might actually have to coach and teach players the game.Quote:

I didn't see him do anything that would warrant him being selected anything higher than bench in 23s (barring injuries). Looked out of his depth in first grade, good technical skills, but his overall game wasn't up to scratch i feel. Essentially, I believe there were more deserving/capable players at Southy earn a call up to First Grade over him. Nathan Stevens, Sam Parker, Nick Friend, Nick Hills (overseas) + a few others in that team last year were more than capable to step up into First Grade.Quote:

p.s. any chance of getting J griffiths back in goals, i'm fearful lack of experience in that area could be costly.
I'm not much of a fan of Southy or Piggot (as a bloke) but you have to give credit when it's due and Piggot seems to do a fantastic job at almost every club he coaches at and Southy do appear to promote young blokes rather than buying a comp like Edgeworth try to do every season.Quote:

Should be a good game Saturday with Jobe Wheelhouse up against the Jets.
Wonder if he scores whether he will charge to the Jets bench and give Deans the finger??
Thats only what bitter people like yourself do MFKSQuote:

which boys did use sign from phoenix FR ??Quote:

Valentine is (approximately - will get back with correct numbers) 6 - Valo last year, 6 - coasties, 1 - Kahibah (via Hamilton) , 1 - Merewether (via Magic), not sure of the rest. As far as I know none played rep (in Newcastle)
80% local , not having the best year but developing well with plenty of smilesQuote:
