He was at Mt Albert Grammar. Sure if he is still there or not. I think he was assistant coach for one of the Auckland Clubs.

Sean was up at Bundaburg.
Yeah Mags that's right.

Saw him a couple of years ago.

really? Shame, he seemed a nice kid, and certainly a very talented athlete - always a risk

Yeah he was devastating at St Peters last year - virtually carried the team. My cousin went to school with him and is mates with him and he reckons that he's struggling with the game and continues to get overtaken by others at Hawthorn. Apparently his dad's encouraging him to see out his 2 year deal before making any other decisions on his future.

My son went there too but played cricket not union... 'carried' is strong, but he's big, strong, fast, prototype for league tbh - very talented (as was his old man)

I went there too and played 1st XI cricket. Smithy and Fricker still got the side?

Yeah would like to see how he'd go in either rugby or league. Very good on attack and a very strong defender.

yep, Fricker had the 2nds for a few years, and now has moved away from cricket.

Shem is the goods, I thought - there are a few others there too - Jordan Trainor is a good footballer - goal kicking fullback

Yeah Fricker coached me in 2nds as well. Good coach I thought. I probably played with your son lol.

Jordan Trainor is a very good player. Not a bad cricketer too when I pplayed 2nds with him. Signed for Waikato from what I heard.

I was a big fan of Tony Tatupu, was sort of ahead of his time in a way as an athletic, rangy second-rower who could offload (not to say there haven't always been players like that).

I see him around the Auckland CBD sometimes policing.

I thought he was good too - got labelled as a utility though, and probably spent more time in the centres than in the back row? When he was clearly a second rower

Jordan Trainor had a great year. Shem was raw when he first started at SPC but was the go to guy in the 1st XV. Jordan's Dad, Wayne, was a Mt Albert stalwart - perhaps Jordan will make the switch one day?

The SPC 1st XV wing last year, Petersen, is a very good RL player - look out for him.
