Thats one hell of an impact into the game there, and that pass is sublime, Larkham-esque.

 

[Bowside]

Jeez gill use to tear it up back in the day. So did the other flanker as well. Both were very good that year.

 

[BRIX]

No idea, and sorry to get off topic but I just noticed #12, Tyson Frizell. I didn't know he played Union when he was younger. He's a fine athlete and I'm surprised the system failed him/he failed the system. He's half Tongan or Samoan/half Welsh. Playing rugby league for Wales now. Anyway, good luck to him.

 

[light]

Seen that before, LG knows it but his name escapes me now. I think he's from NSW

 

[Swat]

Dunno, Looked like a good game though

 

[qwerty51]

I think that's Kyle Godwin

I'm not sure how it happened, he was playing for Souths 1st Colts in 2009 as well. Big loss, he'll go very well in 1st grade next year.

 

[Lee Grant]

Beat me to it qwerty - that is certainly Godwin.

 

[Dam0]

The incident at 5:42 isn't a penalty, let alone a yellow card.

Did look like a great game. Sopoaga looked good. There are big wraps on him and I can see why. Hopefully he can step up next year.

 

[tranquility]

How about the early penalty, what was that 58m?

Right on Qwerty. Some of my good mates from back home went through Souths but never went on to play professionally. William Blackett particularly, Adam Choker was a good hard runner of the ball also. Junior Talipeau who now boxes professional also played for Souths. Cheers

What is the music on the video? Like it.

I though A. Choker was a kiwi!

Very droll Swat.

2 years later and 8 of the starting team now have super (full or EPS) spots, 1 is in the Aussie 7's and 2 are in the NAtional academy. Not a bad strike rate for the much maligned Schools selectors!

Very droll Swat.

Couldn't help myself, I have Obsessive Commenting Disorder :

Hopefully he'll see some time with the Force in 2012. A player with a great deal of potential.

Havent seen that vid in a while actually, that pass is very Larkham to mortlock esque, in 2004 against the boks i think

Thoughts:
PAE - Dominant ball carrier cant wait to see him at the Rebels
Gill - Absolute Gun!
Stirzacker - great pass on him
CFS - Decent even when he was 2/3 years younger than everyone else
Tom Kingston - seems to have improved a lot in 2 years

Absolutely love the way Lima Sopoaga plays 10, one of my favourite players and hes got some great feet on him

The other flanker plyed Ist grade for Easts in Brissy last year as inside centre, went back to NZ this year ,is in the North Harbour academy now I think. Actually the NZ hooker played his first couple of years rugby at Logan City Rugby club too, he was hooking for NZ in World U20s this year.

Was a bloody good game, I went ot it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think it is depressing. A team that was beaten by their New Zealand equivalents has eight Super reps. From the NZ 15 I count only three with Super contracts, all of whom are backs. Unless I am mistaken, not one of those forwards has yet matured to Super status. You don't make it to the top in NZ without proving yourself against the others at NPC level. Here you get an armchair ride up. And we wonder why our forwards are marshmallows.
