So that puts those players ~ 23, 24 Right? (Bar Inglis who was 20-21!)
So, who will be the superstars in 5 years if we're focusing on those age groups?
Edit: Marshall Magic isn't allowed in tipping comps as he clearly has a sports almanac from 2032.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
Wait till he moves to fullback.
Michael Bani ( Watch this guy he is a dark version of Brett stewart)
You win.....for lols
I dunno about that. This thread is from 2007. He was already 24 by then, won Dally M halfback of the year and been in two Grand Finals with two clubs. If this thread was from 2004 when he was 21 or so it would be an impressive prediction, when he was only coming off the bench.It's just incredible how far ahead of the curve Thurston was. Johnson, Reynolds, DCE are fantastic but Thurston is just a cut above (and was at that age).
I tend to agree with you that the talent is very congested. The only player to have broken the mould quite as much is Barba who is yet to stand the test of time - a few years will tell.
From da Souffs;
George Burgess
Tom Burgess
Luke Keary
Adam Reynolds
Dylan Walker
Cam McInnes
The only list McInnes will join is the list of dummy halves playing for other teams cause they couldn't get around Issac Luke. I think so far it's
Craig wing
Segeyaro
Beau Falloon
Nathan Peats
The list is going to be quite extensive the rate we seem to be getting good dummy halves
Personally i don't think he will, Luke's contract is up in 2015, the year McInnes stops playing 20's, and i can see him forcing his way into the starting side whether we re-sign Luke or not.
