The last person who should be inspiring a bunch of poor kids is some bloke who made his living playing a game.

Unfortunately in those communities that's often the best role model they've got.

What I want to know is, where are these indigenous business owners and lawyers and stuff we keep hearing about? Shouldn't they be going to these places and inspiring the kids? Why doesn't Pat O'Shane go out and fire them up?

Monty Python's Holy Grail. If the accused weighs the same as a duck (Bevan in this case), she is a witch and must be burned at the stake.


Thanks mate.

This article puts massive pressure on this young bloke. I'd say they will possibly use him in SG ball this year and 2015. The problem for this year is he has the 2012 U16s NSW fullback and the half from the last two premiership winning HM sides to displaced to play Ball this year.

SG Ball halves/fullback 2014:

Dargan
Doolan
French
Khoury
Layoun
Vidal

Vidal has been listed in the NYC squad, and I believe French has been training with them.

I believe he is only 17 this year; could be wrong.

He just finished high school, meaning he would have been at least 17 last year (2013). He's 18 this year (2014). That's why the article in question (written in 2013) says he is 17.

Trust me; I'm an analyst.

Khoury and Dargan plus Doolan were the ones I was referring too.

Just, some massive pressure on a boy who has being playing country football.
