I believe he's J Flegg.
@ Uncle Va'a....Can you confirm?

[theGman]

You forgot to highlight Cassius Tia and Michael Abdow, the 2 most likely to succeed. Hopefully Xavier lives up to his size.

Big raps on another Qld star -
centre Robert Toia. One we "poached" from the Broncos Academy .

No he is a couple of years younger, i was expecting he would be in the HM squad but its possible he may still be a touch to young. Still wouldnt be surprised to see him get a run at some stage.

Sorry Insider, my bad. Wrong brother.
De La Salle is the younger bro and as you say, rather odd he's not listed.

“He is a bit thicker than Brad,” Robinson said.
Just because he’s in the forwards rather than the halves, that’s a bit type casting Robbo!! Lol

It's a concern if he's a bit thicker than Freddy..

The behemoth will rip through the opposition like a bowling ball
Scary to imagine how much more he and big brother may have bulked up in the off season.

We seem to have a large amount of quality young forwards coming through our systems right up to those guys on the fringe of the top 17. I think a few stars are going to emerge over the next 2-5 years.

I've always thought Freddy was a lot smarter than people give him credit for

he was plenty footy smart. and has turned out pretty life smart as well. Not too many better sights on a footy field than Freddy on his day. A real match winner. Champion. turned up so often in defence like the real champs do. If the kid is anywhere near as good he will be great. The name is a big load to carry. Remember Anasta being called the next brad Fittler back in early 2000's, but never in the same league.

100%. Freddy is my all time favourite.

No doubt...I just can't resist a one-liner when it's served on a platter

i remember reading a story about freddie and craig wing in 02. in the dressing rooms prematch they'd run as hard as they could at each other and just tackle the fark outta each other . the vow was no opposition player would hit hit them harder then they did each other.

freddie was tough and smart.
wing was tough and handsome . no homo.
