[strider]

:-k :lol:

 

[Phillips]

Michael Ryan was underated..

Muckert never really got a good run with us

 

[parra-matters]

the schoolboys team is a good form guide to future nrl players

 

[Utey]

Brett Finch certainly is the standout and the best out of that crop.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Interesting? Played against Lenny Beckett & Riddell, very surprised Lenny didn't make it as he was an absolute gun at Junior level.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Lenny Beckett looked like he could be anything. There are a few there that just didn't keep going and never made an impact at NRL level.

That is another reason why Parramatta must nuture players and not just throw them in the deep end.

 

[Stagger eel]

last I heard Lenny Beckett was a benchy for the ACT Brumbies...talk about a fall from grace. :lol:

Off the radar
ESTATHEO Trent
KORKIDAS Michael
ROWBOTHAM John
SHILLINGTON John

So of the 20 players 6 went on to higher rep honours. 4 have played regular first grade and could be considered NRL standard players.

It is not a glowing reference.

 

[girvie]

Michael Korkidas played regular first grade before he was signed by an English Super League club. And i think he is still playing over there.

Estatheo played first grade with Newcastle but i think he received a career ending injury.

Never heard of the other 2.

Brett Finch certainly is the standout and the best out of that crop.

Your cracking jokes arent you?
