Phil Kearns selection from second grade Randwick (and from 2nd XV at Newington as well IIRC) is not relevant to todays professional development environment. It is for the trivia night and little else.
We would all like for some previously unknown 20 year old 7 foot 120 kg hulking lumberjack of a kid called Clancy, who comes of a property called The Overflow, to rock up to the Dubbo Rhinos and ask if he can play a game of footy. There is more chance of me winning the Lotto than that happening in todays environment.
The Clipboards would have had young Clancy from The Overflow on their radar since the Under 14's. He would be the subject of some banter on here, well before he rocks up to Dubbo Rhinos and asks for a game.
