Juniors Discussion Thread

Let's hope he signs a contract for two or less years so that he can return to where he belongs having gained valuable experience.

That's a bummer I was hoping that my source was wrong
God of all the places to go the Tigpies, just sayin
Anyway good luck Josh don't forget to come back and dance with the one what brung you

Interested to know how much of a priority he was, and if so, what would entice a manly junior to leave for the tigers??

You and me both, mate! But it's hard to stay off other teams' radar when you're playing the way he did last year.

A path to first grade? Here we have Parker and Harper Koula and Tuipulotu ahead of him so realistically no vacancy for at least a couple of seasons. Tigers being desperate would probably throw him in earlier.
I'm sure we wanted him to stay, he was captain of the team, but can't keep them all. We lost that young 5/8 to the Knights too. Good luck to these young guys.

Sad to lose a talent like that,particularly as he is a local junior.
Club has to prioritise who they need to keep and if retaining a playmaker like Fainu on a long term contract and his brother Samuela in the second row means losing a centre then you just have to accept the decision.
We have forked out some money to retain Koula as well.....
This is the reality that any club unfortunately has to deal with when developing young guys as successfully as we are currently doing

 

[Mal Cochrane]

I really only see Harper, Parker and Koula as our best centres, where others like Walker can fill in. I see it as a an area with little depth and experience for Feledy to have had the opportunity to make his mark

Josh Feledy off to tigers a bad loss imo

Is this true, shocker

Edit, seems so. I can’t believe it. He is a couple of years off first grade, but was on the path. I doubt the tigers will be good for him.

It's in n the telegraph sports confidential section.

After watching Josh play every game last year , he and Fainu were in a class of their own. Josh was impressively humble and articulate off the field as well , gee feel a bit gutted losing him… i was hoping we would minimise losses to the well performed 5/8 ….I guess we have taken a lot of tiger juniors in recent times and there could be one or 2 more

 

[globaleagle]

Someone should let the Panthers now about Josh to see if they will whine to the media and complain about Juniors being poached, etc, or is it yet again... only news when it's their players.

Anyway, thanks smokin joe for the updates and others for the various bits of info.
