The young guns of the Warriors' Jersey Flegg team are starting to hit their straps, showing promising signs of development in the early stages of the revamped pathways programme.
After a triumphant Harold Matthews Cup victory last week, the club is reaping the benefits of investing in their youth teams below the NRL level.
While the SG Ball Cup side may have missed out on finals football, the focus on player development is evident throughout the ranks.
The Jersey Flegg team, in particular, has shown significant improvement since their shaky start to the season.
Despite three early defeats, the team has rallied with strong performances against the Knights and the Sea Eagles, coming close to securing victories in both matches.
Key players like Nganatatafu Vake, Raphael Sio, Rodney Tupoloyu-Vea, Jeriko Talisau, Alvin Chong Nee, and Francis Tuimauga are leading the charge for the Warriors, with the majority of the squad boasting experience from the 2023 SG Ball squad.
With a shift in momentum and a growing sense of cohesion within the team, the Jersey Flegg side is on track to make waves in the competition.
As they continue to fine-tune their skills and gel as a unit, they're set to become a force to be reckoned with on the field.
Watch out for these young guns, they're just getting warmed up.
