iv been searching for any imformation on teh juniors for the upcoming year, new to the forum
can u tell me anything about the players in the starting forward pack u named?
I didn't watch them much last year, but it's nearly the Mathews side from 2008, so i can tell you a bit.
1. William Smith - Skinny aboriginal kid who plays mostly in the halves - he is decent but not special.
2. Nathan Cooper - Small but fast winger with very good positional play.
3. Chanel Mata'utia-Leifi - Middle brother who isn't as strong as Pat or as tricky as Pete, but might be the fastest.
4. Dale Clacherty - big centre - top try scorer last year - hard to stop.
5. Pat Mata'utia-Leifi - Hardest bloke to stop from 10 out I've seen since Kurt Gidley - if he can't go round em he powers over the top.
6. Tyler Sullivan - Has as much game as Jarrod Mullen at the same age - my tip for Carlsen medal winner.
7. Shay Padberg - little halfback with a good running and kicking game, but his passing game sucks.
8. Tye Alchin - The grandson of Mad Mick Alchin - nuff said probably
9. Chris Knight - tiny little bloke who scores a heap of tries from dummy half.
10. David Longhurst - new kid from qld
11. Kori Barber - can't remember him
12. Dale Versteppen - new kid from NZ
13. Chad Redman (c) - speedy centre in Mathews and built like a brick outhouse - played halfback for Hunter sports high this year - clever, strong and mature leader.
14. Adam Clydesdale - grandson of Aus captain Don 'Bandy' Adams - his older brother plays for Penrith in NYC and trialled for firstgrade this year - both boys have been NSW reps - both are excellent hookers.
15. Ben Bradley - short and solid prop - only runs straight and hard - doesn't know how to step sideways.
16. Jason Savin - like Bradley, only more solid
17. Jeremy Ma'a - huge kid who scores at will from 10 out, when he can be bothered to have a run - could be the best player in the side if he had a go more than 3 times a game.
