  • Once our Young ones are now our veterans

    Seems like yesterday we considered these 3 juniors...

    You could probably add Napa to that. The kid is playing like a veteran. His motor is outstanding. Loved it when he smashed Stewart.

      I think Moa followed up & finished him off after that...

          I was thinking the same thing to and would add Napa Cordner into the mix as well. Yet the one who excites me the most is Kane Evans I am slowly starting to see in 1st grade the kind of game he brought to the 20s side a few years ago Should he continue to improve then in two years time he is going to be recognised as one of the top front rowers in the game The thought of him and Napa ripping into each other during Origin scares me, because that is where both these players are heading in the not too distant future

            I wish Daniel Conn was still playing.

            Napa hits so farking hard that it's scary.Absolute zero regard for self preservation.

            Evans will develop into the games best prop as he matures. Some nice off-loads last night.

            Cordners off-load to Friendy gave me a horn.Jake has come so far and i can't wait for him to eventually dislodge Smiff the dirty grub accountant.

            Maubs is a great club man and an all round good bloke.He's not flash but technically sound and a very savvy competitor.

            They all seem to be enjoying their footy and each others company with plenty of respect for Robbo.

                  If its Maubs....No way

                  the man is priceless without him there's no way the team could've survived the many injury challenges in those positions

                    Skidsy deserves to be in that pick too, the original four who all debut just after the Ricky Stuart era.

                    It's funny what happens when clubs show a little faith and visa versa.

                    In another life at a different time:
                    -Aubs could've ended up a journeyman playing bit part roles here and there
                    -Pearce would've punted any number of times for not being as good as Andrew John's.
                    - Friendy would've been sacked and given no support
                    - Skidsy could've been sacked any number of times for his errors, admittedly I've been there before on that bandwagon with Skids.

                    Credit to the club though, all four are now strong leaders at our club now and that credit has to predate Robbo as great as he's been for them. It has to go to Uncle Nick, Canavan, POS and whoever else was involved in the push some time ago to develop, retain and remain loyal to our own "generation next".

                    The easier decision on all of them would've been to punt them all at some point in their career but we've continually made the harder call and as much as Robbo deserves credit it's a big reason why we've gone back to back to back. IMPRESSIVE.

                      It is also interesting to note that perhaps all four players played their best season prior to season 2013 in season 2010.

                        Also don't forget that Skidsy is a true junior, earning his stripes at the local easts clubs before getting his call-up. I think the only other player who's still going around that did that is Tom Symonds

                          Blake Ayshford is a Paddington junior.

                          Can't think of any others.

                            James Tamou played for Paddington as well.

                              Is Paddington on the North or South Island?
