Whats up with the NSW Cup team??

I'm fine with the NSW cup line-up on paper. The only area that needs immediate improvement IMO are the wings.

The thing that strikes me about our team is how young they are compared to most other NSW cup teams. They are more or less our NYC team from 2009/2010 with a few other signing sprinkled in. For that reason & the fact that Willo is a first year coach, I'd be willing to give them a pass on this year.

Remember how average the NYC looked in 2008? Never would've thought that they would be minor premiers a year after serving up rubbish all season.

Oldfield, Whare, Davey, Ricardi, Higgins, Cunningham, Robinson & Harrison are all guys who figured into the NSW cup picture at the start of the year, because of the circumstances it's been rare that they have even had half of those blokes playing at one time though. It's really not as dire as it seems.
 
Friday looked much better. They actually tackled for once & the rest took care of itself.
They were missing Higgins so Foran went to hooker & Harrison to 5/8. Needless to say it was a game for the forwards.
Good signs. If these guys can get it together for the second half of the season, we really wont have to buy anyone for first grade again next year.
