UTK Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Couple more reserve grade Brits to mention: Josh Simm: 3 games for Wynumm-Manly (2 on the wing, 1 at centre) for 2 tries, 2 linebreaks, 1 try assist and 5 tackle breaks Bailey Hodgson: Finally strung a few games together and has been immense - 4 matches, 3 try assists, 12 tackle breaks and averages 215m a game playing fullback, actually leads the NSW Cup competition in run metres and is nearly 200m ahead of second place Dom Young: Scored a try and had a ridiculous 12 tackle breaks in his game in Cup last week after getting dropped, ran for 135m but still made a couple of handling errors which won't help him get a start in firsts this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DACS Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Young does need to tighten up his game. At a better team than the Knights his deficiencies could be covered better, but he does have a habit of some absolutely massive clangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I stand corrected, I do seem to recall an experimental second string playing in that game with no NRL players. It still seems a stretch to me when he's not played for England since, wasn't picked in the World Cup squad and can't get in the Leeds team.

I wasn't convinced by him in the WC when everyone was saying he was amazing- every try he scored a 35 year old Ryan Hall would have scored and he is still (5 years past his best) a better all round player. Saying that I hope Young does kick on and put pressure on our 2 best wingers in Makinson and Johnstone. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've loved to see Ryan Hall sprint 60 metres and run around Joseph Suaalii to score that try in the opener.

DACS Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 That comment on Hall is a bit daft. He was never the quickest winger, and now has the turning circle of an oil tanker and cannot get off the ground to catch a ball. Leeming looked quite at home on debut for the Titans. Didn't overplay his hand and focused on quick service from acting half. He wasn't pressured defensively but a pretty good start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradman Better Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Herbie Farnworth has just scored a sensational long range try for Brisbane Broncos against Gold Coast in front of a sold out Cbus Stadium (27,000). He ran 80 metres down the left wing to beat the Gold Coast defence. Herbie and Dom Young are, along with Tom Burgess, Elliot Whitehead, Josh Hodgson and John Bateman, the most talked about British performers in the NRL at the moment. Herbie was just interviewed in the post-match discussion on Fox League (seen on watchnrl.com). He was praised to the skies as an exciting player and as a game changer.

Bradman Better Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) In 2024 the potential England team contingent in the NRL are going to be (in likely field positional arrangement): Will Pryce (Newcastle Knights) Dominic Young (Sydney Roosters), Herbie Farnworth (Brisbane Broncos), Oliver Gildart (Dolphins) (?), Lewis Murphy (Sydney Roosters) (?) Jackson Hastings (Newcastle Knights) Victor Radley (Sydney Roosters) Elliot Whitehead (Canberra Raiders), John Bateman (Wests Tigers) Tom Burgess (South Sydney), Josh Hodgson (Parramatta Eels), Luke Thompson (Canterbury Bulldogs) Interchange: Ryan Sutton (Canterbury Bulldogs) Kai Pearce-Paul (Newcastle Knights), Kruise Leeming (Gold Coast Titans) (?) This would make up a majority of the England team. Several England based players who would be likely selections in a 2024 England team at the expense of some of the listed English NRL players would be: Jack Welsby (St Helens) Tommy Makinson (St Helens), Mark Percival (St Helens) Jonny Lomax (St Helens) George Williams (Warrington) Alex Walmsley (St Helens), James Roby (St. Helens) Edited April 15 by Bradman Better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about Gildart being nowhere near an England place. I just listed him as a possible English player in the NRL next year. But even without Gildart and Lewis Murphy playing in the the NRL in 2024, there will still be a large English contingent in the NRL in 2024. This is great for the competitiveness of the future England teams. Edited April 18 by Bradman Better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbane 43, Gold Coast 26 Leeming had a typical game. Sharp out of dummy half and supports breaks well, leading to his try but often lost the contact in defence and missed a tackle which lead to a Broncos try. A decent overall performance after coming on in the 50th or so minute and got good raps from the commentators. Randall started at 9 and looked good and with Verrils to come back, I’m not sure Leeming will keep his place. If he wanted to stay in NRL though, I’m sure he’d find a club as there are worse hookers than him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he'd be snapped up on a 2 year deal by the likes of St George Dragons or even Manly - both only have one decent first grade 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
