That's in QLD, right?Played juniors for Sawtell Panthers against Kempsey Dragons countless times. It's part of that whole stretch of coast that just oozes bush footy.
Also, Greg is from and played for Bowraville, west of Nambucca.
Tucker beat me to it. Just saw his post!!That's in QLD, right?
Signed a 2 year contract to play Sevens for the All Blacks. He was an AFL player prior to that - should we start looking at AFL players too?Hmmm I think that’s where Melb got warbrick. Not a bad find
Are you suggesting top 30?Don’t think it’s desperate to identify talent before they are worth more.
He’s a decent chance to play for the Wallabies in the next year or 2.
Anyways, obviously not saying there isn't a risk associated, but not a bad gable to take the risk before value goes up.
Absolutely.Are you suggesting top 30?
Who was the Olympic sprinter that balmain signed in the 90’s I think?We made that mistake once with John Grant. Let's not repeat.
Than Tasmania.To be fair it is closer to the border

I watched an old man play croquet the other day. The way he played the ball was exceptional.Signed a 2 year contract to play Sevens for the All Blacks. He was an AFL player prior to that - should we start looking at AFL players too?
Also, one player doesn’t work out and you can the idea all together? With that mentality you’d never sign a centre from NZ ever again due to Kepaoa.
Will Warbrick - a winger from NZ 7s. Melbourne saw the physical qualities needed, had patience and developed him.
I think if he has a good year in 15 a side and proves that he can find gaps with less space, defend, kick pass (which most of our outside backs can’t do), then I don’t see why not. He’s a genuine player, not just a sprinter who plays rugby. He’s a great player who just happens to be really fast.Are you suggesting top 30?
Maybe, but I’ve seen him do it many other times.It was actually really poor d by his opposite. Stops and is caught flat footed. Always way going to be beaten on the outside.
Just watch it, moves up in d and plants both feet. Nothing about a little swerve.
So the club signed one long shot guy from rugby, once, a decade ago, presumably for almost no money... and because that didn't work out you think we should never even contemplate the idea again?We made that mistake once with John Grant. Let's not repeat.
Correct, brilliant logic.So the club signed one long shot guy from rugby, once, a decade ago, presumably for almost no money... and because that didn't work out you think we should never even contemplate the idea again?
No he wasn't. Like most elite athletes he played and excelled in multiple sports as a teen. He was always a Rugby player.Signed a 2 year contract to play Sevens for the All Blacks. He was an AFL player prior to that - should we start looking at AFL players too?
Another one of the Parrot's special projects.Darren Clark
100% to the minimum value rule. Souths and Easts have roarted this hugely...Why aren't we looking at Taylan May... He was a bit of a dropkick but seems to have metres and his game.has come on.hugely
Actually Tigers have signed several rugby blokes as speculators in the past few seasons. John Grant but also Jesse Parahi from the 7s team, Tristan Reilly and we gave the Randwick captain Ben Houston a train-and-trial for a year.So the club signed one long shot guy from rugby, once, a decade ago, presumably for almost no money... and because that didn't work out you think we should never even contemplate the idea again?
