I noticed no one has mentioned Junior Tupou playing in the centre’s as yet, you’d have to think if Gildart gets a look in surely Junior does as well, his a bigger body in the centre’s only neg possibly is his age and game time.

I agree, I think he will be right in the mix if his trial form is good.

Douehi , Roberts , Tamou , Seyfarth

 

You didn't say how good they had to be at fullback lol

We needed a signing like this, I just don't know if he was the right one.

I'm not a fan , but then again that was based on one game But when you look at his competition at Newy on the wing and the fact he has only played 20 games in 2 and a half seasons and throw in the fact that Newy have actively sort out more outside backs .....they can't have a real high opinion of him 

 

But that NSW Cup side just gets stronger ...and isn't Dillon going to the gun fullback in the future

I think Dillon needs another 12 months,  have you seen him play hap? I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Never seen Dillon play as far as I know , and if I did he didn't stand out in my eyes 

Like I still remember seeing Tedesco for example and I knew he was going to be a star even at NYC level ....@Willow and I were calling for his selection in the NRL side Rd 1 of 2011 and a lot of people thought it was ludicrous at the time

Some kids you can just tell mate, Robbie, Lawrance and Benji were all the same.

I didn't get to see much of Rowdy , Benj or Faf in juniors ...one of the downsides to living in the Greatest State of all

I watched Robbie and Chris all the way through the juniors and saw Benji in his schoolboy comp games on TV. That same year Benji was playing first grade lol.

I don't like Eaglevale for the exact same reason.

Our side were missing 4-5 players because of either measles or mumps from memory and they only just beat us in the end 4 points ffom memory...we were the Cinderella story ..we actually had to play a qualifier for the main draw ....

I went to a country school, so making the semis of the Com Cup was a huge effort, I was 15 and playing off the bench and Eaglevale were just too big for us. We had never really come up against anything like that before.

It was Keebra's 2nd year of their football program and they had the majority of the side that played for Brisbane South region who also won the state titles and the majority of the forwards that helped us beat NSW for the 1st time in Open schoolboy ...I think from memory of the that played for their regional pack they had Tony Hearn , Allan Cann , Michael Searle ....and the rep side had Gee and Brett Horsnell but they weren't from Keebra Gee was from Beaudesert or Beenleigh ..the only bloke from outside the Gold Coast was Dean Schifiliti from either Ingham or Innisfail ...lucky year to get selected for me ...having an entire forward pack that either played NRL ,SOO or Australia helped ..back then Qld were at least a year younger than the NSW blokes
