HM & SG Ball 2017

[Yossarian]

One player from 4 rep teams isn't great though. Well done Alex.

 

[balmain boy]

A mobile and hard working back rower sounds promising. Hopefully the kid's got some size to him too. Well done Alex, but yes a tad disappointing to only have one player named for our 4 junior squads

Seyfarth stood out with Suli like beacons in the SG Ball team. I'd estimate he'd be six feet 2 or 3 inches mid 90kgs. His workrate, mobility and physicality stood out as well as his red hair. He reminded me of lock forward who came from the Central Coast and played for Balmain in the same team as one of my favourite Tiger forwards, Mark Stimson.

I agree about only one rep from four teams.

Sounds a bit like a Ray Stone type of junior, hopefully without the injuries

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Seyfarth is bigger than stone and very mobile. Think of you classic lock forward, not a prop forward masquerading at a lock.

Not a very good season for the Jnrs bar Wests Ball squad

 

[Guest]

Good luck to both Balmain and Wests in SG Ball. Very disappointing for both teams in Matts, hopefully they can grow and improve next season.

Good luck to both Balmain and Wests in SG Ball. Very disappointing for both teams in Matts, hopefully they can grow and improve next season.

Quick look at both HM sides, but _likely_ returning (depends if not poached by the Bulldogs) for Wests HM next season will be Cameron Lawrence and Bryce Crane. For Balmain, will be Zane Camroux, Zayn Sluvinsky, Siosifa Amone and Jayden Lawandos, plus Diego Bravo and Andrew Lui who didn't play but were squad members.

 

[ALX22]

Not looking good for both SG Ball sides. Tigers down 22-0 in the second half, and Magpies down 36-12 in the second half.

[ALX22]

I'll attempt the SG Ball sides this week or the next.

 

[southerntiger]

ALX22 what do you know about James Tautaiolefua?

Apparently he was the Academy Player of the Year last. Made his debut for NYC last week and given our slim pickings at NYC level this year I was wondering whether he is a player to watch.

 

[ALX22]

James Tautaiolefua has always been a prolific point scorer. Not sure what his best position is yet.

 

[Yossarian]

Is Zane Camroux related to Peter Camroux?

Thanks mate.
