NSW Cup - delayed kick off

[King Salvo]

Wow, I’m still trying to work out how to pronounce our new RU signing for next year!

Mark Nawaqanitawase - surname Nuh-wonga-neetar-wahzee

[rcptn]

commonly referred to as Marky Mark in Rugby circles.

On a brighter note the Roosters have signed Watisoni Waqanisaravi and Iobe Taukeisalili for the rest of the season

Thanks for the update.
I didn’t get a chance to watch the game but do you think Lewis Murphy will crack 1st grade this year?

I paid for a monthly subscription as a lot of Roosters games covered in the next month including NSW Cup, Ball and Harold Matts finals. Lewis Murphy looked to have a well above average NSW Cup winger skills. Took the ball up very strongly and even got a few offloads away in the tackle. Then a ridiculous flick pass from the ground near the sideline to setup Fekitoa for our last try. I think he is a chance to get into the NRL maybe replace Toops next year.

I was wondering where Watisoni Waqanisaravi went - he looked promising the couple of games i saw him play in Flegg

Didn't he also play for Fiji in the Test matches last year?

I'm excited to see Lewis Murphys development, we haven't seen it yet but the guy is lightning fast in open space

You need to follow the juniors , lower grades and partnership teams more as there is a stack of players coming through the various Roosters systems and partnership programs in both the Men's and Women's game.

I posted about Watisoni Waqanisaravi last year a big unit to say the least despite what the stats say - I would say 190 cms plus - Played Jersey Flegg for the Roosters in 2023 and was playing for the Silktails this season in Jersey Flegg

Watisoni Waqanisaravi a prop pronounced - Wah-Tee-Sow-Knee Wah-Gah-Knee-Sah-Rah-Vee

Iobe Taukeisalili a dummy half pronounced - Eee-Oh-Bay Tah-Uu-Kay-Sah-Lee-Lee

Tuku Hau Tapuha was a big kid and had wraps....we couldn't fark him off quick enough. I take a real interest in juniors when they're about to debut, too many have wraps in age restricted football never to strike a blow against the big boys.

It wouldn’t surprise me, whilst he didn’t put together a full 80minutes yesterday you could just tell from a physicality stand point and a skill stand point he was the most talented back on the field - for either side.

For him it’s just going to be about adapting to the Australian game and then a whole bunch of match conditioning.

How was Lewis' defence and under the high ball?
