The simple fact is that kids try out at multiple districts junior reps trials. It happens in Sydney metro & it would be natural to assume that kids on the South Coast attend both the Raiders & Illawarra’s Rep trials. I know of plenty of Sydney metro kids travelling down to Canberra this year to trial.Could be wrong but pretty sure, apart from Walsh who is only 17 this year, the rest were 18 this year.
And none of them played SG ball (think Piccirilli/Lavender played Laurie Daley cup), so it’s not like they were the top rated Steelers junior’s (the better 18 year olds generally play up in ball)
They may kick on, but the Mole article is a bit of a beat up…
To act with disdain & bewilderment that this doesn’t happen is just ignorance/stupidity.
