Callum Dowell

Anyone know if this guy is a big loss?

The majority of posters here would do well (see what I did there) to answer that

While it's difficult to pinpoint a precise percentage, a significant portion of Jersey Flegg players do not progress to first-grade (NRL) level. The Jersey Flegg Cup is a development competition for players aged 21 and under, and while it provides a pathway, many players don't make the jump to the top tier.

While Callum Dowell's leadership in the Jersey Flegg team is commendable, the statistical likelihood of progressing to the NRL's first-grade squad is influenced by numerous variables. Success at the Jersey Flegg level is a positive indicator, but the transition to first grade requires continued development, exceptional performance, and favorable team dynamics.

Not a big loss. Probably 1 of the Better on that team but that doesn’t really say much. No where near the level of Walsh & Large

There will be kids we lose , but there will be kids most teams lose.

You just cannot keep them all , hoping they’ll be the next big thing.

Well that’s a paradox! Most manly fan sites are full of criticism these days..

Just sayin’

Someone should tell the panthers and the raiders not to bother then. It’s not like those 2 clubs know more about junior development than Manly.

But we sign over 30 year old players who likely get injured every 2nd or 3rd game, then repeat the same process.

Top shelf stuff @Ron E. Gibbs 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Really impressive player. He’s been consistently Manly’s best in Flegg this year and is playing a year up—still eligible again next season. One of the few who debuted in Flegg last year, so he’ll finish with three full seasons in the comp. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him crack NSW Cup at some point next year.

Disappointing to lose him, but not at all surprising that both Canberra and Penrith are chasing him—they’re always elite when it comes to identifying junior talent. He’s rated highly by a few at the club, including Flegg coach Choc Watmough.

While I understand the decision, especially with Joey Walsh and Ontino Large coming through, I still think it would’ve been worthwhile to keep Callum for another year and monitor his development. Healthy competition in the juniors is always a good thing.

Don't blame me - blame Chat GPT

Of course - I am sure we can look back through your posts to find multiple that extol the virtues of Do Better.
