"Boom Youngster"

[ngunity]

For me it's been:

1. SBW- strong, versatile, fast, keen. Has put on some Dazzling performances
2. Hunt- amazing composure for his youth, great skills ~ will be a half someday
Daylight
3. Tupou- about time the Roosters got some muscle that doesn't pack a 3-week suspension with ever other tackle. Very promising young man, good offloading
more daylight
4. Stewart
5. Marshall
6. Pritchard

although I do have to admit I've seen BUGGER all of the last 3 due to crap free to air coverage of them

sonny bill definitely! and hes 19, not 17. anyone see NRL Scoreboard tonight...why didnt laurie daley wanna talk about SBW...does he not like him? im confused.

 

[Nugby]

I was wondering that myself, maybe he had a bit to say about headbutting and he got warned? The "only a couple more days" thing was what got me.

 

[Matt23]

Where's the "all of the above option"?

 

[brenno]

from that list sonny bill- without question. Strongest, most skillful and toughest foward prospect i've seen in a while. I remember seeing him throw nathan hindmarsh to the ground with 1 hand in his debut this year. How many 18/19yr old's could do that? He's going to be awesome when he's a hardened & experienced player. Future kiwi test captain. In 05, i feel todd carney will emerge as the next 'great' half prospect in the NRL. That's if Elliott gives him the game time.

 

[redVgirl]

man that takes some brute strength to throw hindy down! damn i wish SBW could represent NSW. cant you just imagine him running out on the park to a packed stadium australia and smashing the shit out of a queenslander? YAY! i think he would absolutely thrive on that atmosphere. imagine the highlights reels he could create with those shoulder charges on an origin stage. damn him being a kiwi :evil:

just thinking, theres no queenslanders left that i would really love to see smashed. maybe lockyer i guess. they are all nice and likeable now...how can anyone hate billy slater?! and no doubt half the cowboys will be in it next yr, and i just love all of them. i cant cheer on the blues to get big hits on ppl like matty bowen! damnit.

bring back wally, gordy and langer. i need someone to hate :lol:

 

[Red Bear]

how can anyone hate billy slater?!

I know i can. It aint that hard.

 

[The Colonel]

While Sonny Bill is going to be a star I am a big fan of Anthony Tupou. He's quick on his feet, possesses a great off load and runs the ball hard. He'll be around a long time IMO.

 

[Dogaholic]

I wouldn't trade Sonny bill for any player in the NRL.

I think Hunt is a great player. Im thinking in the off season the Broncos should work on a kicking game for him so that he can play a similar role to what Lockayer did all those years at fullback. He is only 17, so he has plenty of time to do so.

 

[WarriorDog]

Sonny-Bill without hesitation..he should be at the Warriors because we should be forgiven #-o ...for not noticing such a great talent before he got whisked away to the Bulldogs.

...but I dont really care, because the Doggies are my second team and they're going to win the GF!! ;-)

 

[miccle]

SBW out of that list, but to tell you the truth the Broncs need a decent young outside back (Gary Tupou already coming through) more than they need any additional back rowers. Carlaw, Parker, Thorn, Carroll, Stagg, Wyatt, Learoyd... and plenty more. Oodles of depth.

 

[choc_soldier]

Frank Pritchard should be there imo.

For sure.

Has a big future.

 

[miccle]

But the others haven't been around for that long. Pritchard isn't a rookie when compared to sonny-bill, karmichael and benji.

 

[MEE]

Stewart sh*ts on Hunt as a fullback, but doesnt get the raps he deseres cos he plays in a sh*t side.

Even diehard Bears fans can see it.

 

[Greenblooded]

SBW for sure, hes an absolute freak!!

 

[panthersballboy]

bring back wally, gordy and langer. i need someone to hate :lol:

What about Crocker, he fits the true QLD wanker mold. Very easy to hate!

 

[Johns Magic]

But the others haven't been around for that long. Pritchard isn't a rookie when compared to sonny-bill, karmichael and benji.

Karmichael has played more games than Pritchard.

 

[choc_soldier]

Pritchard made his debut in 2003, but only played one or two games.

He really came on this year, but yeah, not a rookie in the strictest sense, but definitely a boom youngster.

 

[Tigerpete]

My vote goes to SBW. Not only is he the best but he would add to a smallish back row the Tigers have.

 

[Bullrider]

Johns Magic do you rate Snowden as good as Hunt right at the moment. Because you have to remember that Snowden is the same age as Hunt right now.
