You're right about Gunn almost killing Rocket, he almost killed the other winger at one point as well. Gunny is a fucking talent, everytime he tears the house down.
He played Aus Schools last year didn't he?
That is a bloody quick elevation to Prem Grade, is he even 18?
I find it interesting that Conor Mitchell (Uni) is talked about in similar high regards, I had a feeling that Churchie back row (2011) had something special.
As a member who follows schoolboys footy but rarely gets the opportunity to see premier games it is encouraging to see such familiar names tasting such success at higher levels. Sam Greene has a boot I will never forget. He and Jonah Placid must be on the Reds radar now, you'd think that they have shown a lot more than UJ...
As for Meehan, I rated him back in the 16's but he wasn't impressive in his senior year at BSHS, Scotty Gale far outplayed him in those days but its fairly evident just from here that perhaps the tides have changed. Then again from what I saw of the U/20's WC he hadn't changed too much, maybe that's too harsh. I'd be curious to see the development of the AIC boy, Scott Malolua (sp?) he was exceptional at Marist and IMO better than those two.
I wonder if Jake McIntyre will stick around in QLD, if i remember correctly he came from down south and I would suspect they will want him back. A kid who defied the odds and took the non-GPS path to Aus Schools.
Good to see Toua finding some form, always had bucket loads of potential. His days at the Reds are numbered if he can't stay fit next year. Has he developed a satisfactory kicking game yet? Always thought he was very dangerous running the ball back but just lacked the kicking skills to make S15, sort of similar mould to a certain K.Beale without the playmaking ability.
