NSW AAGPS Rugby 2014

[Lee Grant]

View impressive. Looked better rugby players than Saints.

Hutchison played in the second half. He was on crutches on Thursday and hadn't touched a rugby ball all year but although he only got the ball only a few times he was terrific when he did.

He looked like a 10.79 secs runner.

Very impressive display from View today. Can anyone tell me who 17 was? What a gun

 

[Lee Grant]

Henry Hutchison.

 

[Joe Mac]

Thanks LG. While you are at it, who was the no5?

 

[Lee Grant]

Beau Petterson - handy wasn't he?

 

[lineoutjumper]

shore 2nds beat st pius 1sts 35-12

 

[Inside Shoulder]

This year? Talk is cheap but I bet that they will have the best overall results.
.

a bet no one would take on.

MOM for me. It's great to see a big fella with some ticker.

Riverview were very impressive today. Hutchison playing as inside centre was great choice for the team as he not only had more time with ball in hand but also tackled more players that lead to turnovers. He proved why he was the 16 year old Aus schoolboy last year and will most likely be up for returning to starting XV.

Riverview 26 - St Augustine's 14

I would have to agree with you. His size and work rate will prove very beneficial for the riverview side this year

 

[Inside Shoulder]

As I said his dad told me he is not playing league this year, I'll ask him about the roosters when I see him again. However wouldn't the roosters insist he plays league if they have him on a contract?

Dunno - the evil empire does a lot of stuff that's just talk and i doubt the contract is for much if there is one.

Tim Horan Mk II

I can't recall seeing him the flesh until last week at the athletics: he's clearly quick but he did not look all that tall.
Any ideas what he weighs?

 

[Lee Grant]

HH - he's only scrumhalf size but he plays big.

He was only 80 kgs last year but he's chunky - all muscle. Can knock big boppers over and break tackles of bigger lads.

Not to the point but Andrew Kellaway is similar in playing "big". Was 90 kgs last year but you would swear he was bigger at moments of impact.

May be fast enough to play wing at higher levels

 

[john williamson]

His tackling today was impressive, and although he was outsized on a few occasions, he made his tackles and resulted on 3 or 4 turnovers

When he leaves school? Yeah, he will probably start there but he won't stay there long. He will be too rugby-smart and rugby-useful to be parked out there.

But he's too small at 80 kgs.
That's why he caught my eye at the athletics - I'd read the big wraps: and he must have played when I was at the ground but didn't pay much attention. And then I saw him and I thought - where is the kid going to play as an adult?

 

[Whose That Guy]

Thought Riverview played good at times, poor at others. Expected the scrum from Riverview to be a lot stronger than it was, i think they realised today that there front 3 will have to be Bowditch, Pritchard, Futukava. My 3,2,1 for Riverview would of been, Beau Peterson #5, Evan Pritchard #2, Henry Hutchison #17.

He was bigger last year as an U/16 player than James O'Connor was as an U/16 player.

JOC (James O'Connor) looked like the little sister of the ball boy.
