I would agree with you, but only for a bench spot. He back row have been regular starters for their clubs premier grade teams, I suppose you could put Ben Hyne in second row. Paddy James would get a bench spot, behind Greene and McIntrye for the fact that they have played premier grade all year and McIntyre playing AUS 20s. From the 4 or 5 games I've seen brothers play, IMO it seems at rather than having star players, they work well as a team, which may or may not enhance there rep selections[/quote]
I hope you don't expect to be taken seriously with comments like this "Rugbywatch"?! I know you mustn't when you go on to add that "Isaiah Mosese" should be included in the U19 side "based on what (you) have seen so far ...". The lad may have been a good player at school but after the first two games he has played for Brothers U19 he will be lucky to keep his spot. In fact, I am surprised that he was elevated to Prem. Colts so quickly given the form of the wingers that have been playing - it's certainly not characteristic of Brothers to promote players based on past performances nor should it be at any level. Having said that, I hope Isaiah does find his feet & return to his best but he has some work ahead of him.
Out of curiosity, at what point does a player become a "star player"? I hope it's not limited to High School otherwise Australia would certainly have missed out on a lot of sporting talent across all sports.
As for James & Hyne, both lads have acquitted themselves well when they have played Prem. Grade for Broithers in the games I have seen. I'd go so far as to say they have both had an impact when they have come on to the field - breaking tackles, setting up their support & tackling well. Just because they are not starting in Prem. Grade does not necessarily mean they are not up to the task. With the exception of Connor Mitchell, I'd doubt very much whether the other Uni boys would start in Prems at Brothers & even then, Mitchell would struggle, not that he is not a talent ... IMO.
