Blacktown Workers ... 2023 ..

[ALinda]

Is it a top 8 or top 6?

The top 5 make the finals. We're now in 4th but the next 3 games are all against top 8 teams. There's only 3 points between 2nd and 8th so winning and margins are crucial.

To make the semis in their own right, the 3 remaining games are v Penrith, currently 8th and premiers, v NZW away 2nd and v CB 3rd spot.
Key matches next week will be 5th Souths v St G 8th and 6th Newtown v 7th Canberra. Both Newtown and Canberra are one point behind the Eagles. The top 3 teams are pitched against the bottom teams.

Great way to be match hardend and playing good footy for finals. If you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best.

The Workers are winning without much help from the Manly benchers.
Our NRL reserves either aren't good enough for NSW Cup, which is a big worry, or the Workers don't want their teamwork disrupted.
Unless someone knows the reason why our reserves are earning their salary by not playing football.

Which reserves are you referring to ?

Which reserves are you referring to ?

Condon, Jake Arthur, Weekes, The Lawman ...
All the guys in our top 30 that miss out on a match at NRL level. Why aren't they playing in the NSW Cup?

Weekes played. I would suggest the others are injured

Could not really justify giving Latu Fainu 500 k at present but indications that he might be worth that much relatively soon . So maybe Tigers not too far off the mark with their contract offer .
Luke Brooks fortunately still seems to have some good form to offer so some consolation there short term , long term could be a different matter in letting Latu go right now .
Also hard to warrant a 550 k value to Sam Fainu right now but probably would represent more upside then Alioia so maybe could have gone close [ from Manly ] to a 500 k offer if a couple of the questionable value Manly forwards were not on the books .
Faulalo still seems to be playing at a good level , hope like Weekes he can be retained too .
Harper albeit at a less demanding level , showing he still has some ability .
Some tough games ahead but Blacktown playing some competitive footy so good on them .
Wish that the i st grade side could play some similar and open good type footy

My mistake re. Weekes. I thought Jake Toby was the fullback for Blacktown.
I was unaware the others were injured but, with Manly's track record, it wouldn't be a surprise.

I'm sure 1st grade would play good open footy against reserve graders

$500k for 4 years. By year 2 or 3 this will be an absolute steal. Same for Samuela.

What has happened to our recruit from North Queensland, Bon Condom? Weren't we all excited about his prospects in the pre-season?
Unless I'm mistaken he can't even get a run for Blacktown.
Is he playing anywhere, or 'working from home'?

It looks like Condon's playing for Blacktown tonight, along with Weekes at 7, which is surprising as we may need one or both of them next week, though could be to get match fitness? The only noticeable omission from the team is Harper, but presumably he'll replace Parker in NZ.

Hopefully the Workers can do to Penrith what we couldn't last night. Go Manly...I mean Blacktown!!

4-0 to Penrith after 12 minutes. Weekes at #7

 

[eagle66]

and why is the Eagles home game at Penrith??????

This a farce, how on earth do the NSWRL allow this to happen? I do not understand why this game is not being played in Blacktown or Brooky.
