Anyone heading off the the junior rep trials at St Pats tomorrow?

Anyone heading off the the junior rep trials at St Pats tomorrow?

Just got back from St Pats, saw both Matts games and the first half of the first Ball game.

Penrith apparently played their first choice side in the first game, they won 4 tries to 2. Parra played awful , completed about 4 sets in the whole game, and generally overplayed their hand and dropped the ball conrinually, the conditions played to Penriths style of bash it up the middle footy. Someone said that there has been little ball work, all fitness and beep trials , so they make the split on Monday , so we will see who gets picked as the first game is in 3 weeks:shock:

Second game Parra were convincing winners even if the score was 2-1. Best player in that game was Schneide who played hooker and led the team around the field from dummy half. This game was slower than the first one with the Riff playing a second string team, generally Parra mixed up the teams

38 players in total, , 25 make the side, balance I think go to the Western Academy

The Ball side were leading 2-0, most obvious thing was their ball playing in the forwards, quick hit ups and short balls to players in support, pretty much Cayless style. Good 7, may have been Seve but didn't have a team list

Started to pour, so someone may have stayed for the second half and the following Ball game

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Yeah I was down there. SG Ball first game ended up being 4-0. Jesse Cronin was the standout in that game for mine wearing the number 13. Second game ended up being 4-2 to Parra but we won comfortably with best on field for mine being Harry Brown. I think it was Harry wearing the white jersey with the faded #6 on the back.

Waiting at the maternity unit next.

"Many are called, few are chosen'...

Hate seeing 'bush kids' scattered WHEN they don't make it...

Can someone translate please?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

pete's pissed off that when country kids fail at footy they want to stay in the big smoke and work as labourers.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Can someone translate please?

I think he means 'shattered' rather than 'scattered', though I might be wrong.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Thanks guys, that makes sense. Although I don't see how country kids getting told they're no good is any different to city kids getting told they're no good.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I broadly agree. I guess one difference is that in many country towns there's not a lot of depth of players, and the good ones spend longer playing 'out of their class' and maybe there's a bit of a bigger 'coming back down to earth' when they step up a grade? Also, they typically have to leave home to discover that.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Or maybe people from the country aren't as mentally tough as the people from the city and that's what Pete is referring to?

I'll let him answer that one.

 

[rugby league fan]

Its open to interpretation isn't it.? I mean you can't geographically categorize how tuff physically or mentally a player is on where he is from.? Players should be judged on an individual basis, there are positives n negatives for the argument. Watched the Parra Matts game today & Sg ball, i think more city kids in both teams would be more dissapointed than the so called country boys who i thought were standouts in both Matts & Ball.. Only my opinion though
