Genuine Local Juniors ?

[shinobi]

i love that the dragons have so many locals, makes me proud!

How many from the actual St George area tho? Illawarra is a massive breeding ground. Same as Penrith.

 

[Kiki]

well since they are the St George Illawarra Dragons i'm assuming players from the Illawarra region are included??

amazing, right?

I'm not even going to post anything about the roosters or souths because the thread would explode.

Drawing a long bow I know, I thought Inu was from Cambo...I might be thinking of Hayne, played for a time with Wests Jnrs, Mateo spent some time with balmain jnrs- dundas shamrocks, his early years. Wallace spent a year or two in balmain too ...carlingford cougars

mateo played at lalor park from about 13's sorry he is a parra boy through and through
as is inu and hayne

Gold Coast Juniors of note

Anthony Laffranchi
Mick Gordon
Tim Smith
Luke O'Dwyer
Luke Covell
Kevin Kingston
Ben Hannant
Darius Boyd
Steve Michaels
Anthony Watts
Kevin Proctor

There would be a few more too, just can't think of any.
There will be plenty more in the future too, like Will Matthews who is making his NRL debut this week and Shannon Walker.

Played with West Ryde Denistone and Dundas St Patrick's Shamrocks from Under 6's through to Under 11's. Funnily enough for a side that can draw so much on the local Parramatta area they are in fact a Balmain JRLF Club.

Started in the Under 14's with Lalor Park.

If you're talking about players from the clubs local area the raiders would have:

Todd Carney
Troy Thomson
Terry Campese
Trever Thurling
Lincoln Withers
Joel Monaghan

We developed:

Justin Carney
David Milne
Bronx Goodwin (thats debatable tho)
Mick Weyman
Joe Picker
Adrian Purtell
Phil Graham

from rural NSW towns

plus more.

ACT has bred:

Brent Kite
Mark Bryant
Simon Woolford


Thats all off my head, so the ACT Monaro region does pretty good without the large population of the bigger areas like Newcastle or even Woollongong

Trevor Thurling was at the Dogs before the Raiders.

 

[Harold Bishop]
