NSW Cup 2025

It's very hard to rate tackle efficiency in a team that getting carved up all over the shop and you just happen to be "part" of that team
As an example, Cam Murray is a defensive demon with both great technique and huge numbers
If he is part of say NSW with quality players around him will have close to 100% ratings
If playing at South's say against Storm and they cop a 40 point flogging, he is caught out trying to make "other" players tackles on top of his own and in a team with a broken D line across the park and could end up at 80%.....unfortunately the Manly NSW cup team is option 2, so very tough to take stats as the judgement on any players defensive capabilities
 
Laifai is an interesting one. Impressive size and runs hard. They need to manage him well as he could become a gun in a few years. I'm guessing 17 or 18?
 
Not sure if it’s been mentioned but Wakeham has been moved to fullback so Walsh can stay at halfback with Arthur dropping into the 6 jumper. Seems they think keeping him here will be better for development rather then switching between reggies & Flegg. Not excited to see Wakeham at the back though…
 
For anyone that is interested in the stats from last night’s game

Arthur:
MOTM with 13 runs for 68m, 3 LBA, 5 TA, 2 offloads, 485 kick metres and 14 tackles with 2 misses.

Lodge:
20 runs for 183m, 72 PCM, 30 tackles with 2 misses. 67 minutes played.

Navale:
10 runs for 85m, 32 tackles (Manly’s highest) with 0 misses. 70 minutes played. Fairly quiet game by his standards.

Patolo:
13 runs for 128m, 55 PCM, 10 tackles with 1 miss. 33 minutes played.

Willett:
1 try, 13 runs for 140m, 3 LB, 2 TA, 4 TB, 3 offloads, but 4 errors. Promising signs though.

Walsh:
1 try, 7 runs for 52m, 1 LB, 1 TA, 61 kick metres and 24 tackles with 1 miss.
