Waratahs 2020

I don't think any Tahs are allowed to be around the clubs during the season however due to Covid bubble rules.

I think the question was, was he even still with the Tah's (hence able to play SS).

I know, I was just saying not being named for Souths doesn't mean anything.

Means we don't know, vs. he's out of the Tahs which he would be if he was lining up for Souths.

Tom Horton had such a great game starting on Saturday. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke because he's surely got he spot for a while to come.

Maybe we're not so badly set up for hooker now with Horton and Porecki and maybe Cotton for next year?

 

[Bobby Sands]

What's the go with this Horton bloke?

What's the go with this Horton bloke?

He was the fourth choice hooker at under 20s level in 2017. Ultimately missed the World Championship squad behind Uelese, Efi Ma'afu and Sama Malolo.

Has played NRC and club rugby since.

Been in one of the best non pro development programs in the country - Sydney Uni

and another Aus 20s unit

Clearly a no-nonsense fellow, from the look of that haircut.

And the enlightened Fox Sports commentary tells me he's from Mosman - and a hooker - so obviously he's in line for the RA CEO job.

 

[Up the Guts]

Not surprised about Horton’s game after seeing him as a schoolboy. Uni do a really good job preparing frontrowers.

 

[TheNude]

Horton stood out for Uni last year (partially due to that haircut); he was a pretty abrasive player so good to see him get a chance at the next level.

 

[The Honey Badger]

He is a very good player, looks about 15kg light only issue

Yep a "chippy" from Mosman, not exactly a student either

Was an all Syd Uni front row with HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), Horton and Robertson.

And if Bell was fit, he's another.

I wonder whether he is related to Peter Horton? He was a hooker, 19 caps for the Wallabies during the seventies.

Don't know, but one of the many SJC people on this site will know. Its Not Pink where are you?

don't believe so.

 

[wamberal]

don't believe so.

Pity. Would have made a good story.

Peter Horton was a pommy schoolteacher. Played for Armidale City and then went to Brisbane. One of the dirtiest players to strap on a boot for Aus!

One of my pals played with him for the Wobbs. Apparently he was not very popular.
