Seeing as it's throwback Thursday I thought I would analyse nenenoah's post (as shown below) predicting the young gun's to watch out for this year.
Souths: Nigel Tanuvasa - Not too sure where he is playing his rugby this year. I think he may be injured?
GPS: Dylan Sikimeti - Made the switch to Norths, regular premier grade starter when available, also played very well in the Qld u20's competition. Nice choice.
Campbell Magnay - Yep. Nenenoah you were on the money for this one, few starts for the Queensland Reds, has racked up several caps this year and will feature in the Australian u20's, great selection for this list.
Easts: Michael Gunn - Made his reds debut, one of Easts premier grades best players week-in week-out will be a key feature in the Australian u20's, well done again.
Wests: Alec Fontavalo - Your prediction was correct, a few starts and plenty of time off the bench.
Bronson Taukipulu - Seems to be stuck in the colts team at Wests but still a good player and is in a class above most colts. I've heard he's received a bit of game time for premier grade off the bench
Bond: Douglas McMillan - Plagued by injury, he has started for Bond Premier Grade when available.
Norths: Garrath Ryan - Heard he played really well in the Queensland 20's, starting premier grade every week, nice prediction nenenoah.
Patrick Fortescue - Heard he is another plagued by injury after a promising start to the season with a few trials in premier grade.
UQ: Adam Korczyk - Aus u20's standout player, started for the reds a few weeks ago. Need I say more?
James Dalgleish - Australian u20's and constant premier grade starter, great choice again nenenoah
Phil Potgeiter - Constant premier grade starter
Hayden Russell - Recently has been playing premier grade , and playing exceptional footy every week.
Sunnybank: Conrad Quick - Australian u20's and killing it, also playing really well for Sunnybank at club level.. good prediction nenenoah
Brothers: Henry Fitzgerald - Injury plagued this season, think he has just started to make his come back
Patrick James - 'Unfortunately has been competing with sam greene all year but has made a few starts.
Overall nenenoah.. i rate you predictions a 8.5/10 well done mate.
Colts to Grade Players to look out for in 2015.
Souths: Nigel Tanuvasa - After breaking into premier grade midway through last season and playing great rugby, he will find himself a definite starter at 12 for Souths this year.
GPS: Dylan Sikimeti - Back at GPS for 2015, looking to start and will play plenty of Rugby off the bench for premier grade.
Campbell Magnay - 'Big Red' has tough opposition for a starting spot as GPS centre, however he is simply well above a colts level and his Reds training should see him as a permanent starter in premier grade.
Easts: Michael Gunn - No surprises here will probably miss out on the Reds starting 23 for most of the season however, he is looking fit and thick and ready to play a strong season for Easts Premier Grade. Definite starter.
Wests: Alec Fontavalo - Played a lot of 7's over the offseason and is relatively fit, size is not on his side but he is an exceptional rugby player and should receive game time off the bench at Wests.
Bronson Taukipulu - Altho still a colt, his training with Reds 20's has seen him fitter then previous offseasons and should receive plenty of game time off the bench.
Bond: Douglas McMillan - Had a quiet year in 2014, and word is he is bigger and stronger and wanting to take premier grade by storm, with a strong push from bond management, should be a starter.
Norths: Garrath Ryan - Looking much stronger physically with his 20's training. Fittest prop going around, and was a permanent starter for Norths last year and will retain his spot as he was arguebly one of the standout props in premier grade.
Patrick Fortescue - Straight from colts and word from the nest is he is looking more sizier and fitter then ever, back playing 7 or 6. Should be a definite bench player if he doesn't work his way into the starting premier grade side.
UQ: Adam Korczyk - After a couple of years of on and off starting in premier grade, he is looking like an absolute man. His size and pure aggression will see him starting to dominate the Premier Grade scene. Bench for Reds is more than possible for Adam.
James Dalgleish - Will continue to string Uni's premier grade backline together and will find himself a permanent starter outside Pincus this year. Too much talent to sit in Reserve Grade.
Phil Potgeiter - 20's training has Phil in great shape, and he is hungry for another season at the Red Heavies. Will probably spend most of his time on the bench due to Uni's massive depth but nevertheless a few injuries could see him frequently in Premier Grade
Hayden Russell - Unfortunately for Hayden he is as good as they come for big, hard centres, yet will struggle to play premier grade being overshadowed by the exceptional James Dalgleish. A definite bench player for premier grade and potential starter again with injuries
Sunnybank: Conrad Quick - Will find himself starting in premier grade more and more as he gets older. Size also is not on Conrad's side but he makes up for it in sheer power.
Brothers: Henry Fitzgerald - Freakish flanker, can do anything you ask of him. Will definitely see game time in premier grade.
Patrick James - 'Sticksy' is the thinnest rugby Player, but unbelievable at tackling, breaking the line, and using players outside him. Brothers have great depth already in this position but word is, at training Sticksy has been putting his hand up and been involved in absolutely everything. Hopefully will see plenty of game time 2015.
My predictions on the players too lookout for in 2015 who will be leaving the Colts bracket. Lets see how right these predictions hold up in 6 months time .. Goodluck
