like getting folded every time he runs the ball?

i would argue he is a generational talent, already superior to Lonegren, Thomas, Wilson. I genuinely believe he will be taken as the smokey to Europe this time next year with him & Mcdermott the 9 & 21 at the worldcup.

the only thing special about him is the surname, likewise the other Baxter in the Waratah 16s this year

I want to be the first to call this, however i am going all in on Angus Grover being part of the World Cup squad in 27 and expect him to be taken to the Northern Hemisphere next Autumn tour.

Robertson is possibly one of the worst players to ever wear the Wallabies jersey.

Angus Grover this year's aussie 18s captain is superior to both Teddy Wilson and Martens, he would also already be a better bet than Lonergen & Kalanai Thomas. I'll go the early crow and suggest we might see Angus Grover at RWC 2027.

and the fact that Lynagh was handed a full contract at 18 was an embarrassment and an insult to all players in Qld who were and are significantly better rugby players than Lynagh ever was or will be, unfortunately it sucks not being born with the correct surname. I watched Tom play a colts one...

a Qld u17 side

You can't You can't argue with the squad they selected as they won the tournament in a canter however i personally think that 99% of the squad was selected before a ball was kicked this year. There are that many good kids running around NSW in this age group that you could probably pick 4 or 5...

Unfortunately it is what it is with the nepotism, kids not really needing to trial for the team and i am not saying they arent good players however it is strange that the selectors minds are so closed when it came to then selections. This squad would have been 98% selected prior to a ball being...
