It's easy to get rid of second tier players.

It's easy to get rid of second tier players.

Unless they're in the Top 62.

I see Joey Lussick's profile is up. Does that mean his injury wasn't career-ending?

I believe I read somewhere there were serious fears he'd never play again - I hope those reports were way off the mark.

 

[Eelementary]

Unless they're in the Top 62.

Top 62? We seriously have a top 62?

No wonder we keep winning the Spoon - everyone knows you need a top 87, as a bare minimum, to be able to compete.

You're thinking of Blake Harrison

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Davis is definitely one to keep an eye on.

I didn't catch any of his SG Ball efforts in 2013 but I did see him line up for Guildford in the Ron Massey Cup. He was extremely impressive in those games, showing some footballing nous to go with his massive frame.

As far as speed goes, he was able to keep Jerome MacKenzie at bay across ~80-90 metres (with Jerome giving away a small head start) when Guildford played Wenty. I'm not sure how explosive he is from a standing start but he certainly can chew up the metres once he gets a little bit of space.

Before our massive second tier recruitment drive I him pegged as a possible NSW Cup debutante for 2014 but the club may just let him develop in the NYC for a full season given how much depth we now possess.

Thanks

As eloquentEEL said, you are thinking of Blake Harrison.

Lussick is a hooker/half while Harrison is a backrower.

I believe Magpie's youngster was number 63.

Oops!

But anyone know how Blake is going?

STOP THE PRESSES!

Connor Broadhurst is now with the Gold Coast Titans.

He could be anything that bloke.

He could be anything that bloke.

Anything but a footballer this guy that's for sure

Give yourself an uppercut, Gazza.

Keep an eye out for the Balmain SG Ball results.

Maybe he is the wrong nationality to have stayed with Parra.;-)

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Parra has a few white kids. Every club does.

Balmain mustn't have hit their quota.

 

[magpie4ever]

Parra has a few white kids. Every club does.

Parra has fewer than most, they have a love affair with one nationality in particular.

And it could been the reason why the standard of the NRL, NSW Cup and certainly the NYC (although the standard has always been shithous) is slipping.

Love it, Anglo-Saxons on a quota in Australia. f**k me.;-)

 

[magpie4ever]

Hey, Poo: I'll pull out the old joke - you'll always need someone in your team who can count to six.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If you're talking about Pacific Islanders then they're actually several different 'nationalities'. Not to mention most-if-not-all of the ones that grow up in Parramatta are Australian citizens.

And it could been the reason why the standard of the NRL, NSW Cup and certainly the NYC (although the standard has always been shithous) is slipping.

The only thing wrong with the NRL at the moment is the wrestle - introduced and perfected by white coaches.

1: Really, didn't know that.:lol:

2: Look at the World Cup Final - and even you will realise where the strength lies - plenty of salt and a little bit of pepper.

3: if you believe that than you have no bloody idea.
