Can anyone see any of the Under 20s making first grade next year?

 

[Big Pete]

Outside of Ash Taylor and Jayden Nikorima...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jai Arrow receive a few games off the bench.

Otherwise the likes of Byrnes, Alick, Pearson, Drew, Berrell & Fai will all serve as depth.

S'ua could be a smokey. Would love to see him training with the first grade squad over the pre-season.

What about Hipgrave? He seems to be killing it at the moment.

 

[Big Pete]

I doubt we'll see much of him until 2017.

i think potentially fai and su'a and collins may play grade but hard to see that being next year, so maybe a little further down the track for them. im pretty sure all 3 will train with nrl in the off season.
i think the likes of byrnes, berrell, barr, lavea, lanskey and a few other will be solid q cup players but not much else.
hipgrave is like syd smith, you just dont know with these pair what the future holds.
arrow is a concern for me, no doubt he does plenty of work and hard yards but he does lack variety and options. he could well be a safe back up workman type option off the bench.
who knows what the future holds for drew, im a big wrap on him but he may need a club change to re ignite his career in grade.

 

[Brad Miers]

Drew will have a break through year in 2016. His physicality strong and dominates in the games I have seen this year. It is sad the Bronscos will go 2015 without a under 20's game televised. This s a real shame as those unable to travel to Brisbane for a game will not see the potential from Taylor and Nik. I believe regional teams live stream there games in the Q Cup; therefore the Broncos can also do this with the under 20's. Better still, revert to the old ays and see under 21, reserve gade than first gade all in a row.

 

[Big Pete]

13 minutes gone.

6 all.

Brisbane should win this game easily, Souths don't give a damn about 20s.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

If we can't beat the cellar dwellers, we are in trouble.

 

[Big Pete]

The Taylor/Drew combo strikes again.

It's just behind Tia Kilifi/Mosby as the most lethal IMO.

Broncos 12-6.

 

[Big Pete]

Tries to Josh Bowen-Boyer and Kalolo Saitaua extend the Broncos lead to 24-6 at half-time.

 

[Morkel]

The Triple M call team are within earshot of the Souths NYC coach and reckon he's acting like Bellamy on PCP.

 

[Big Pete]

Another poor second half from the Broncos.

Broncos cling to a 24-20 lead with 10 to go.

 

[Big Pete]

Souths hit the front with 3 to go.

26-24 Souths.

 

[Big Pete]

Another disgraceful second half from the NYC.

Souths win 26 points to 24.

 

[sus]

fk me dead.. just i show up the bunnies kids go on a rampage. boys looked gassed - not sure what i miessed the first 55mins.. aside from the 4 tries

good night club championship...

SOUTHS 26; BRISBANE 24

SOUTH Sydney have produced one of the biggest upsets of 2015 to beat the Broncos at Allianz Stadium. Souths trailed by 18 points before Damon Goolagong scored a marvelous team try that gave South Sydney hope. A double to Siosifa Talakai in quick succession gave South Sydney all the moment, and after wave after wave of attack, Souths were able to crack the Broncos defence through Aaron Booth who skirted over from dummy-half. The loss ruined whatever chance Brisbane had of winning the minor premiership and left coach Craig Hodges bitterly disappointed.
