This thread is getting a hole lot of stupids at the moment
Was there a special sale on tin foil hats somewhere?
I agree that Latu is more physically capable than Roach at this stage hence being choose ahead of him. But I see Roach going past Latu in the long run, hopefully at the Tahs. Its good to have both of them as they are both looking like good prospects.
All this talk of wanting Kellaway to get Shute Shield experience etc. before he's offered any sort of contract at the Tahs is fairly unrealistic in my view. Do that, and we'll be watching him play elsewhere.
Since I finished high school, there have been four high school rugby players in Australia who have been picked out early as future stars and their junior careers have been closely watched by all and sundry waiting for them to mature. Those players would be Matt Giteau, Kurtley Beale, James O'Connor and Andrew Kellaway.
Kellaway has been an absolute standout and continues to excel at each level. I think he'll play a fair bit of Super Rugby next year and will play for the Wallabies within a couple of years.
We've swapped tin for copper foil hats.
That way they go a nice shade of Randwick green when the oxidize.
I thought Hooper was signed by the Brumbies directly from school, but could be wrong on this.JOC (James O'Connor) went from a Schoolboy straight into Soup footy.Very few do that.
Don't understand how it happened,as you say he was not a star in the National team.
JOC (James O'Connor) was still in school I think you will find when he made his debut he was at hale here In Perth.JOC (James O'Connor) went from a Schoolboy straight into Soup footy.Very few do that.

Hmm I can't find it anywhere but I'm sure he attended hale for abit when he moved here it was a big thing about how he was a school sensation. I may be wrong though.I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case. He was in the 7s program and they don't take school students.
I remember JOC (James O'Connor) still being in school when he debuted. Pocock was 17 too wasn't he?
Yeah but I think he was on his 4th attempt at year 12
JOC (James O'Connor)? No way was he watched more than a couple of his contemporaries in the schools team at the time. I think that I recall him playing a fair bit off the bench in school rep teams.
Or are you just pissed the galloping greens have taken a foot out of the Brumbies camp and brought it back home to the Tahs? I'd blame Jake, Cheika's timing is just coincidental.
