Cutting his holidays short to get back into it! Love it, big man is hungry and leading by example. No wonder he is viewed as potential captain

Yep, for sure.
Unless the Flegg triallists have video playing against first graders . . . it means nothing.
What a waste of time.
Gee some people here get carried away seeing junior players standing out against their peers.

You don’t reckon every single origin player of today had impressive junior highlights reels? Why can’t people be excited?

I didnt say he's set the world on fire, play first grad, State of Origin or play for Australia .. i just said that the coach is impressed with his the agility the big bloke has and that he has been training the house down ..
Nuffin wrong with the young fellows training hard as impossible to impress the coach.
I remember way way way back when i was a young lad coming through .. i was keen as mustard to impress the coaches .. i was a young cocky forward smashing everyone, until one of the senior big bopper flattened me and said .. "go easy lad, rome wasnt built in one day" .. lol

I'm saying people need to look at the context of the opposition too. You could have a full strength side up against kids half their age and everyone would look like superstars.
Remember he's already played a full season of flegg and was solid but unspectacular playing against people his own age and size. I'd take a season of flegg over highlights from a trial as indicators of talent.
He has a lot of potential, a bit of a fui fui moi moi type nuggety prop. A bit bigger than Felix Smith too.

Actually no they don't ...Tedesco didn't make junior rep sides ...Willie Carne couldn't make his school 1st 15 .......I bet other on here know of other players
Hard work in the end is the difference ...everyone has to do it ...many junior superstars don't make it because they aren't prepared to work hard to make the next step

Didn’t he play wing in rep teams or something?
I vividly remember watching Tedesco score 5 tries or something in an under 20s match on a sunny Sunday afternoon standing on the hill at Leichhardt. It was against Melbourne I think, could tell he was going to be something special just off that vision alone
And I tend to agree on the last part. Jacob Loko was touted to be the next Israel Folau in juniors...All the talent in the world but was supposedly a lazy trainer. I’m not even sure where he’s at anymore

I don’t think that Hartigan would not bother reading the forum, he would be too busy scouting talent and working with Madge and the rest of the recruitment team.
The forum is for Nufties like us.

Jacob Loko has been playing for Thirlmere in group 6 for years haha
In regards to teddy, he made Aussie schoolboys got bumped into 20’s the year after then played first grade year after that. He was definitely a stand out as a young fella but Happy is still right, heaps of talented guys never make it and some guys who just work hard end up having good careers
Doesn’t mean we can’t get a little excited over some highlights!
