If everyone played for their junior club

[southsider]

thought it would be interesting to see what shute shield teams would look like if everyone stayed with their junior club (we'll include colts in this) so several players may be eligable for multiple teams we will just say they have to have played a minimum of one year. Can also include players that are currently overseas. so for souths my team would be:

1)Dan Palmer
2)?
3)?
4) Jed Hollaway
5) Kane Douglas
6) Sean Doyle
7) Sam Latinipulu
8)Pauliasi Taumoepeau
9) Dewet Roos
10) Ben Volavola
11)Ben connolly
12)Apo Latinipulu
13)Afusipa Taumoepeau
14)Chase Stanley
15) Jason Nightingale

pretty decent team very young and suprinsingly the majority of the current first grade team are juniors which i think is good also have: luke irwin (easts), tyler spitz (eastwood), Atelea Vea (dragons), Joe Leilua (roosters), Moses Pangai (cowboys), Tyson Frizell (sharks)...Rohan, nicky price and bracken not too sure about either??

so what have the rest of you got??

 

[Craig Hawkings]

Try Marcus Heather at 1- Dan Palmer at 3. Technically both Rohan and Nicky Price have played colts for South's while Bracks played for Sharks RL- i dont think they can be counted. There are some colts running around from the Shire district- notably Roye, Guilfoyle and Picone at Randwick- all played for Buraneer. But you have named a quality side.

Kane Douglas would still be in Yamba.

my bad if true....would like to see a west harbour team if anyone can do one think it would be close to the best!! manly too!

 

[matty_k]

Kane was picked in NSW Country side way back when which was where he was discovered.
I'm pretty sure he went to Souths because his brother was playing for Cronulla Sharks when he came to Sydney.

pretty good backline if you couldn't find a spot for Rob Horne.

 

[Ole Two Blue]

ok I'll play. I'm sure there's other players out there that other people will slot in. I've gone for a mixture of youth and experience. You'll see why.......

1. David Lolohea
2. Tatafu Polota Nau
3. Vaughan Lomax
4. Tom Heslop
5. Sam Wykes
6. Steve Mafi
7. Rodney Ma'a

9. Jeremy Su'a
10. Dave Harvey
11. Jorge Tafua
12. Jamal Idris
13. Israel Folau
14. Sisa Waqa
15. Jake Woodhouse

this side could match it with anybody!

i too am keen to see what a West Harbour side would look like...............not too many of them are local juniors.

 

[Ole Two Blue]

you could argue that we could also throw Kurtley Beale and Cliffy Palu in the mix too. However they only briefly played village club but did not play junior reps or colts for the club.

Oh how son we forget. Tito Mua and Lester Salanoa were Parra colts and/or grade players before they defected to Concord. I also belive Sione Tau may have been as well unless I am confusing him with Isaiah Pine

That has the makings of a very handy team for the Woodies. A lot of those guys still play there too.

OTB, You may be right on Lester, however I do know that Tito played Wests Colts before going to Parra, then he came back. I do remember Rory Sidey saying they were junior centre partners.

 

[lily]

OTB, Joe Tomane went to Westfields for a little bit so why dont you add him. I guess I did add Hopoate out of desperation. Actually scrap him and put in Chris Yarrington. I think we should focus on current rugby players such as Brian Sefenaia who you could add as one of yours. And didn't Eddie Aholelei come from out that way many many moons ago?
Also Where is Frankie Raikadroka and David Fungalei these days? Both were 2blues colts who went to Uni.

 

[rugbyvet]

Great idea. For Eastwood maybe John Grant (how did he go in league anyway) on other wing, get Leroy Houstan in there somewhere and someone told Bernard foley is a eastwood junior but I have no proof. Halfback Force bound Snowden is a colt I'm pretty sure

 

[sooty]

Didn't David Fong play for Sylvania juniors.
