Junior Tupou #254

[Demps]

This bloke is going to be a star.

Why do you say that?

Was already confident based on his success as a junior, rep honours in two codes. But just looking at him in the most recent training photos, man he looks like an absolute beast.

Idk if that is an accurate way of measuring someone’s ability.

Yeah these dual code reps are useless ?

Yes, you are correct. The Thornet Bros, Mike Cleary, Phil Hawthorn, Ray Price, Steve Knight, Fairfax, Gourlay, Andrew Leeds, Michael O'Connor, Robbie Parker etc etc. Useless the lot of them.

Worth a thread just to reminisce over some of his great quotes.

Like when he made a citizen's arrest at a nude beach and said he was sick of male nudity being rammed down his throat.

Jesus mate, God forbid people try to find some positives in a young signing.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Part of the game is getting excited about the potential in the kids coming through. Yeah heaps of them don't pan out but it's always been part of following a club watching a young fella come through and make their mark.

He won't have to try too hard to impress, there's not much in front of him across the three quarter line.

I remember that, and as was usually the case, he was flabbergasted.

I take my dog for a walk/swim near 40 baskets near where Rex used to live. Often have a chuckle to myself when I think of that quote for the Moose.

Rex was not in favour of clothing optional sunbaking.

Brian Smith who played for Balmain in the 90's played for wallabies with Nick farr Jones was pretty average league player

I actually think he could have been an incredible league player but happened to be thrust into the (Balmain) Tigers at our nadir. Alan Jones had sacked Gary Freeman for him and out our performances were at an all time low when he came in.

The fact remains he had incredible skill. IMO the most skillful 7 the Balmain or Wests Tigers have had. His passing game was sublime, particularly his long passing game...on par with Ricky Stuart and his kicking game was incredible. His defence and willingness to do the hard ugly stuff was non existent.

He could have made it IMO but the politics of it all had his cards marked.

LOL - i burst out in laughter remembering that. But the man was good at tautology. I still have memories of Rex, Ferris Ashton, Alan Clarkson , Col Pearce and Noel Kelly on Controversy Corner. Great memories.

Middle harbour reserve To up to 40 Baskets is all dog friendly. Plenty of spots for dogs to walk and swim. From 40 Baskets on dogs aren’t allowed on the beach or in the National park.

Didn’t Ricky Stuart come from Union as well? Pretty handy player and one of the all time great halfbacks.

Yes he did. Sticky and Brian Smith had incredible long passing games, of course Andrew Johns as well.
