Please Note:

* Ray Price wasn't considered as he only played rugby as a junior in the district.

* Peter Sterling was born in Toowoomba, raised in Wagga and signed by the club before he went to Patrician Brothers, certainly not a local junior.

* can anyone confirm the question marks, especially Bill Rayner

* Eric Grothe junior wasn't considerd because of a technacality, he played his junior football with Eagle vale in the Campbelltown area, feel free to debate this if you don't agree with it.

also, can Parra Pete, Crazy or even Casper confirm wether or not Keith Campbell was a local junior??

 

[parra pete]

Billy Rayner was from Yass. Keith Campbell was indeed a Parramatta junior.

 

[WA Eel]

I can't see what Inu has done to deserve to be in considered to be among the top two centres ever produced by this club. I would be included to give that spot to Michael Beauttner for his long and successful first grade career (admittedly his best years were spent at Norths).

thanks Pete.

 

[Avenger]

My brother played for Merrylands and Eric Grothe Junior played for Eagle Vale in a trial.

 

[Twizzle]

I reckon you could do a whole team of Parra Marist players.

 

[half]

john morris wasn't a parra junior either, so that's another great player we can't add to the list

as I said last week half, I'll save johnny for the 17 great gay icons at the club for a later date.

I challenge you to do so...;-)

Solid looking side, I'd give Hilditch the starting hooker spot over Jason Bell...

I think Ronny was a much better prop than hooker tbh, i also contemplated putting john McMartin in for Bell..

 

[bartman]

Agreed, prop was Hilditch's best position... I just thought the run on #9 was the weak spot in a strong side.

McMartin from what I can vaguely remember would probably go better than Jason there, so long as there's some way to leave Bell to come off the bench as a utility.

John McMartin = Champion...

mmm!! interesting I'd say kolcy qualifies because he played junior reps after he played for Hills as Sterlo went straight to reserve grade from Patrician brothers..
