We should have had that game in the bag at 1/2 time. Some great performances. Huge difference in class between the HM & SG , HM need to find an on field leader. There was 0 talk. Completely opposite in the SG.

Josh Feledy was great. A tackle breaking machine that had really good acceleration.

Sounds like he's handled the step up.

I thought he was a real standout last year. You don't score as many tries as he did at any level of footy through luck.

Good performance by the team against the favourites Canberra. Fulton was good at interchange dummy half, O’Donnell strong, as was feledy, fainu and Thompson.

Josh Feledy reminds so much of the great Bonzo Fulton. Similar height, shortish legs and blinding step and acceleration off the mark. Also how he bounces off defenders is eerily so reminiscent of the great Fulton. Threatened every time he got the ball yesterday and defended really well. Comfortable step up in class to SG this year from a brilliant last year in HM. This kid is a serious talent.

I think Feledy is the most talented outside back since turbo in the lower grades. Still a long way to go to become an nrl player.

Big call, but I tend to agree. He's definitely the most promising centre we've produced in a long time.

Feledy is very similar to Jamie Lyon. Alway popping up in the right place at the right time and a very dangerous runner of the ball. Always taking the right options, honestly this kid could be anything

Haven't seen him but sounds like he must be going OK (!)

Watch his Harold Matt’s highlights from last year. He is unstoppable when he runs.

Yesterday he scored two, and was held up twice, plus ran hard all day.

Have a look - he scored two tries in yesterday's game 😊

So who do you liken him to? Mal Meninga?

Probably bozo more than mal or Lyon. Straight explosive hard running, good positioning.

Feledy , Latu Fainu and Koula together in the Manly i st grade back line in due course , . Let a good prospect in Ramien go quite a few seasons ago , really hope again Feledy can be kept on for his shot at the top level and possibly reasonably soon .

Wow, it's highly unusual if not unheard of here on Silvertails to see such comparisons about a young player, let alone from multiple posters.
I better check out this kid's video!
How old is he? 17?

Last year

Josh Feledy scores six in Sea Eagles' 40-0 win

An incredible six try haul to exciting young centre Josh Feledy saw the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles record a memorable 40-0 victory in Cessnock today.

All things going right we shouldnt need any big name signings over the next few years with Koula, Weekes L Fainu, Feledy, Fletcher-Myers, Tuipulotu, Humphries, B Trbojevic, Fifita, Tuitavake, Si Fainu Sa Fainu, GCTK, Close, L Hopoate and Quiroz-Mapusua to draw from, if a 3rd of them, just 5/6 of them going on to be meaningful first graders, with 2 of those being stars then we are looking rock solid.

@Smokin Joe what is the status of Jack Birt?

Seemed highly rated but not heard anything of late and seems Gordon has leapfrogged him

 

[double hoops]

I'm surprised, he actually does have a lot of Bozo about him.

 

[silvereagle]

I'm surprised, he actually does have a lot of Bozo about him.

From several perspectives in my opinion but most noticeable his uncanny ability to bounce-off / palm-off multiple defenders when he runs. Eerily similar to the great Bonzo.

 

[Smokin Joe]

So should his nickname be Bozo or Bozo jr,or something like Bobo or Krusty?
