I know that it is a long while away but i was interested to hear who some of you think will make the NSW Under-19s and Under-17s teams this year?

Here are my line-ups.

girvie's NSW Under-19s 2007
1 Jarryd Hayne - Parramatta - NRL
2 Chase Stanley - St George Illawarra - NRL
3 Michael Jennings - Penrith - NRL
4 Chris Lawrence - Western Suburbs - PL

13 Josh Nicholls - North Sydney

14 Cameron Dunstan - Cronulla
15 Mitch Jowett - Manly
16 Matt Hyland - Balmain
17 Brad Murray - Canterbury

All SG Ball players.


Some of those predictions might be way off the mark. Let me know who you think will be selected in the teams.

 

[Big Mick]

NSW Under 17's needs more Penrith.

 

[girvie]

NSW Under 17's needs more Penrith.

Apart from Coote and Graham the only 2 other Under-17s in their SG Ball side are Evrett Vaurasi (a forward) who has been a bench player this year and back Greg Waddell who i rate behind those other players i've listed.

 

[parra pete]

Joel Thompson is a gun. A centre at present, but will end up in the second row.

 

[MIGHTY PANTHER MAN]

Joseph Paulo is a good player as his resume suggests ( Australian Schoolboys) but his form this year in flegg doesnt warrant a NSW Jersey.
he was in danger of losing his spot in flegg with his poor form a matter of weeks ago now he is injured and wont be returning for a few weeks.

You can put NRL next to Tim Grant's name now

Yes you are probably right. I think i read in Big League that he was playing well (although i don't trust their judgement a whole lot given their comments about Norths best players were so far off the mark).

If Paulo is out of form then perhaps i would move Pettybourne will move to the back row and bring in Stanley Waqa from the Roosters or perhaps Shane Blackett who i notice is in Premier League this week for Penrith.

 

[roopy]

Joel Edwards - knights Flegg prop - should be a shot at the 19s - as should Callan Richardson if he gets over his injury this week (gun player for under 17s two seasons ago and a try a game player over 4 years now)
Here is Edwards showing the tackling style that has injured half a dozen players in the first 6 rounds.

 

[Stagger eel]

I can only give you guys the Parramatta contenders.

Under 19's

Taulima Tautai
Tony Williams
Marty Lewis
Tim Mannah
Kris Keating
Trent Hodkinson
Fereni moeffeo

U17's

Nathan Gardner
Cameron Speechly
Anthony Mitchell
Johnny Mannah
Jason Baiteri
Albert Kelly

 

[asaint]

I can only give you guys the Parramatta contenders.



U17's

Anthony Mitchell


Might have a chance for Qld as he is from Townsville.

 

[yappy]

Sama Savao should be a cert for the 17's, but probably won't be.

 

[Mal Meninga]

Raiders SG Ball side has last years NSW u17 halfback Mick Picker. Reckon he may have a chance?

 

[Big Mick]

not with Wade Graham in the form he is in.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Yer gotta go with my Schools 5/8 Half In Wadey

 

[girvie]

Joel Edwards - knights Flegg prop - should be a shot at the 19s - as should Callan Richardson if he gets over his injury this week (gun player for under 17s two seasons ago and a try a game player over 4 years now)
Here is Edwards showing the tackling style that has injured half a dozen players in the first 6 rounds.

Edwards may be a chance but there are probably a few props in front of him.
Richardson has to contend with a dozen backs that are playing NRL or Premier League so it will be difficult for him to be selected.

I can only give you guys the Parramatta contenders.

Under 19's

Taulima Tautai
Tony Williams
Marty Lewis
Tim Mannah
Kris Keating
Trent Hodkinson
Fereni moeffeo

U17's

Nathan Gardner
Cameron Speechly
Anthony Mitchell
Johnny Mannah
Jason Baiteri
Albert Kelly

I think those first 5 U-19s players in particular will be in the running.

I think that Speechley, Baiteiri and Mannah are too old for U-17s and i don't think they usually select Under-16s for this match (Kelly). If Mitchell is young enough he will probably be selected for Qld. Gardner should be a certainty for NSW.

Raiders SG Ball side has last years NSW u17 halfback Mick Picker. Reckon he may have a chance?

Unlikely for this year's U-19s because there are half a dozen halves in Premier League who are contenders for the 6 and 7 so i would be surprised if they pick and SG Ball player.

 

[girvie]

I would like to see them do something similar to what they do in rugby union and have NSW, NSW II and NSW III play against 3 Queensland sides.

There is so many talented players it is a shame that so many miss out.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Tim Grant, Michael Jennings and Eddie Pettybourne made it from SG Ball last yr, it could happen again.

Yeah they had 5 Under-18s in the side last year. Hayne and Tony Williams were the other 2.

I think Under-18s this year will be Mitchell Pearce, Chase Stanley and Fred Pakutoa. If they pick any other Under-18s this year i think Nathan Dib (Canterbury) or Mitchell Cahalane and Lancen Joudo (Penrith) might be a chance.

 

[wilbosaint]
