Balmain PL v Canterbury

[brook]

A very strong side this week - probably the only change I would make is to swap Bronson and Graham as I think Bronson is a VERY effective lock but much less so in the back row. I'm happy to see Kell on the wing finally, he's always looked his best there imo

[phenisha]

any chance of samia starting again soon? hows he comming back after his injury?

 

[innsaneink]

Where and what day please Brook? If Leichhardt may mosey on down.

 

[brook]

nah its before the first grade game on the c-c I think

so I won't be able to make it

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah just saw that....curtain raiser to first grade so hopefully we'll see it anyway.
Should be a good game as well, 8th V 4th, and with the disruption to the Dogs team as well the Tigers have an even better chance.

 

[Tigerpete]

Yeah, thats very strong Balmain team this week. Still no Pethybridge though? Anyone know whats keeping him out?

 

[Vicious]

It is a very strong Premier League team.If everyone named plays they are absolute certainties!I`ve only seen Henderson play once against Manly and he was pretty average,but can anyone tell me how he`s been going in general and where he come from?I`m pretty sure he`s a Pom,but how did he come about playing for Balmain?

 

[Magpie Nick]

He is Scotland's Halfback.

 

[HappyTiger]

He was pretty good last weekend.But he can be a quiet one.Id guess he's still adapting to the aussie game.

Im actually excited Grahams lock. Nick Graham is a born lock. He has been playing out of position all year. Nicks played his best footy in the past at lock, with a ball playing role, but hasnt had that chance this year cause of Scott Sattler.

He actually is an aussie and went to school on the Central Coast (Gosford High). Was going to play Jim Beam Cup for Ourimbah this year but got an offer from Widnes which fell through. Tigers signed him up after playing against him in the Widnes trial. His brother is Ian Henderson from the Roosters.

 

[innsaneink]

He played rugby in Scotland as well i think.

From a guy from uni we play soccer with, who is staying in the same place as Andy I heard that Widnes still wanted him back after Balmain snapped him up though - the contract money that Widnes were offering was pretty crap so when Balmain chimed in with an offer, he decided to stay.....then again, who doesn't know that! pretty obvious

Reply;Very interesting.Ian Henderson isn`t a bad plyer either from what i`ve seen of him!

 

[Magpie Nick]

If he played for Ourimbah, he might of got a run for Wests.

Brook, would you know what's happened to Mark Irhazi? (providing you do know who i'm talking about) Is he a Harold Matthews player or has he fallen behind in the shuffle and isn't in the Balmain colours anymore

O'born has been going good.... but the player to watch in the future is Chris Trembath. Only 17 years old and about 6'3" and 100kg. Been playing 2nd row and their coach (ex wests prop Kyle White) reckons he will get signed by an NRL club in atleast 2 years. Unfortunately he just broke his scaphoid and had to have surgery this week. May miss the rest of the season. He was leading the players player till he got injured
