Daniel Backo and Blake Green

[Stagger eel]

both were just on the footy show!

As you know Blake is the Australian school boys captain and Daniel Backo also in the side is big Sam's son and has signed with us for next year. They also showed footage of Daniel in full stride and he looks real good.

 

[mickdo]

He did look good didn't he!

 

[Hurriflatch]

cool, Great news that young Backo has been snapped up by Parra lets just hope we can keep him and he has a career like his old man.

maybe Big Sam can take over Crushers job

Backo v Cleal in recruitment

Backo v Cleal on the field

Green being in the Aust schoolboys explains why he wasn't named in Flegg this week.

 

[Hurriflatch]

I didn't see it but thats gotta be a 1st the Thursday Night Fatty show actually talking about Footy

 

[eloquentEEL]

Dan Backo... maybe that's why Parra were happy to let go of Nathan Armit?

 

[Hurriflatch]

possibly, but money wise surley they could afford both.

 

[Forum Idiot]

dan backo seemes to have speed to burn and hes massive for a schoolboy. different build to his old man. much more solid. huge legs.

I have seen Blake play in the flegg comp and SG BALL comp and he looks to have a real matureness about his game yet he is so young. Tim Smith and Blake Green would make a great combo in the halfs in 1-2 years.

Backo did look impressive - bit hard to tell off one piece of footage but he is a BIG lad. Hopefully he and Blake can progress through over the next year or so.

DEAN BACKO BORN 1986, HOPEFULLY HIS AS VINTAGE OF A PLAYER AS THE YEAR WAS FOR US HEY BOYS......

 

[ParraMatt]

Onya Daniel Backo, I didn't know we signed these two up. Daniel Backo and Nathan cayless for props next year.

 

[Eels Dude]

Let's hope the young bloke is given a go sooner rather than later. Chances are if there is a great young player at Parramatta he'll be a superstar... but at a different club.

 

[Eelementary]

Is Tim Smith in the Schoolboys team too?

I wonder how big Backo is. Because if he is big, strong, athletic and quick, I have a feeling we might just use him in a Bill-Williams role - our starting pack sets the platfrom, and we unleash the Backo!

Favourite Playing Position: Second row/Centre

Woah, Imagine Ben Smith and Backo in the centres. We then wouldn't need second rowers running out wide.

 

[Hurriflatch]

The name Backo and centre just don't go together

 

[The Colonel]

The name Backo and centre just don't go together

Watching the footage last night I would not be surprised to see it change.

Add Feleti at 5/8th and we'll have a backline bigger than our forwards :lol: :lol:
