Is Keppie playing?
Yes, along with Gordon, Fainu, Condon, Boyle, Myers, Fulton, Roache, Dias and Humphries
Keppie Fainu and Condon might be duelling to fill the Kelma vacancy.
Down 24-40 so don't think anyone is putting their hand up
Leading early then fading seems a real trait of Blacktown, maybe last year too. What causes such a trend? Surely not fitness, the blokes who come up to NRL always look as fit as the others. Inexperienced playmakers maybe? They wouldn't lead in the first place if they simply couldn't play.
A weird one.
A weird one.
True that
All these boys fighting for an NRL shot keep dishing this crap up....the Warriors side have unknown players putting on 40 points - terrible
You summed it up when you say They wouldn't lead in the first place if they simply couldn't play
The issue they have for failing to hold on to thier leads is failing to play at a winning tempo Consistently through out the full game
The moral of the story .....
SUCESS IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF CONSISTENTLY PERFORMING TO OUR BEST LEVEL
Have any forum posters been to regular Blacktown games? Interested to get a read on Fletcher Myers performances at centre. I have watched a number of the video highlights so very hard to get a feel for his performances however a) he does not feature in many of the try's; and b) his defence does not look any more solid than Margan's. Appreciate any at the ground feedback.
Of the 3 televised matches I've seen on Fox, he has been competent, without standing out at all, either positively or negatively.
I would base my view on his trial where, at times, he had better players around him. I thought he showed a lot of promise. He didnt get too many opportunities in the Bulldogs game I watched. My sense is he'd thrive having top level players around him.
Also Condon's form, giant of a man. But, reports from silvertails have him as a bit of a plodder, with not much leg speed. Was really hoping he'd be our surprise packet so to speak, may need another season to get his s... together, like Bully did.

You mean 5 of them?
Isn't he one of the youngsters we want in the top 30 next year to replace the average Harper and/or pretty average Parker and quickly go on to State of Origin stardom?

Agree, he looked good in the trials playing with better players.
The problem with ressies is that if Johns is covering the NRL squad then he's obviously not training with Blacktown so Matterson would training at 5/8. Same if they are switching backrowers too.
Plus I don't rate the halfback so there's a few issues there to sort out for him to shine.
Condon unfortunately too slow and lumbering for the modern game, since the era of 6agains. Quite literally the slowest moving player I've seen in years. A shame, as he seems like a top bloke, great attitude, and a beast of a human
From What I have seen from Myers he is a lot more faster and skilful than both our current centres
Myers is an Upgrade on the speed and Skill factor
Myers playing in the trials in a team outside NRL players showed his potential in why we signed him and was impressive in both defence and attack
Any back that plays outside NRL quality is advantaged and Myers playing out side our strike players will be a different player
Put Parker in the NSW cup and he will be a less player
As Parker is a TEAM player and TEAM players are as good as the team they are playing in
Parker is a Support player and if we are to keep up with the more dominant teams we need to evolve with more quality and faster backs
The Moral of the Premiership winning story
The road to striving towards excellence is on going
We can do Better than Parker and Harper if we want to become a better team

Agree. His goal kicking is ****e. But in general play, he's looked every bit as good as Vega or better. Done well at fullback and on the wing.
Just another reason the Tommy Talau to fill out last spot, well wasn't really how I thought we'd be trying to fill that final spot.
