Jacin Sinclair

[Stagger eel]

I am pretty sure before I moved to Perth (around 1993-1994) I witnessed Jacin Sinclair playing Reserve Grade for Easts (against North Sydney I believe at the SFS). It’s a game I remember pretty well as Sinclair absolutely dominated. I thought this bloke would be a superstar.

that was thing, even that late in his career he was able to play some tidy football if he wanted to but it appears that on most occasions he didn't give a stuff, I bet he regrets it now.

Doing a bit of research, Jacin Sinclair played in the centres for City Firsts Origin in 1993 at Parramatta Stadium. Then came off the bench for City Origin.

Jacin Sinclair was the most talented player to come out of Balmain between Tim Brasher and Benji, if he had his head screwed on properly and decent coaches then he would have played for Australia for many years no doubt

I was so sure this kid was gonna make the grade.He carved up at junior level,and was hailed as the new Starling round Tiger town.

But......as many on here have stated he just didnt have the grey matter to cut the mustard.

I think a few older heads playing against him, got under his skin and Sinclair wanted to either punch on, or set up a try off every play.

Quite sad to see such a talent not produce.....I rate him up there with Owen Craigie as the biggest talent I can recall to go under......

I cant believe he didnt play....I swear I can picture him playing in a blue jumper????

A case of wanting so badly to believe it that you actually convinced yourself it happened? :lol: :lol: :lol:
