No don't use the stupid Cathy Newman of BBC fame "So You Are Saying". That is not what I wrote.

sheesh this is hard work. So you ultimately agree with what we've said; you've just argued over over the semantics of how the point was made.
I'm glad we all agree that attributes like passing, tackling, ball-running and kicking are more critical for a back, than skills like jacking.

Rory Scott performed a perfect right to left cut out pass last year to set up a try, and he’s got a bit of pace…
Let’s get him some kicking practice asap.

cool dude, it was a question to clarify what your point was and end this stupid debate. But just keep arguing semantics.
But how much talent is in McReight's left nut? Compared with Kerevi's left nut? Stewart's nuts?

McReight has the most talented left nut in Australia right now.
Potentially a lot of talent in a nut. But the vast majority of sperm are fkn useless, but they manage by virtue of overwhelming numbers.
I realise this might not be the answer you want.

I always assumed it was the reason Hooper was never trialled there.

Pocock played 12 at school next to QC (Quade Cooper) didn't he?

From memory that Churchie team played three traditional open sides as a tactic. Also Pocock was just so much tougher and more granite like that he could truck it up over and over. Other than that he didn’t really play as a back.

As someone who copped it from Pocock being at 12, lets not kid ourselves that he played there to cover Quade's inability to tackle!

Yep, they only really needed one back whilst in possession but on defence they needed all the help they could get.
Would be hard pressed to think of a schoolboy team in history that could beat Quade and Pocock together. Possibly the Ella brothers.

always love these conversations, weren't Horwill and Genia in the same team for BBC?
I used to have to play against a St Kevins XV with Jordan Uelese and Sione Tuipuloto which was particularly unfair.

Would have been fun to see the Joeys teams of the same years as Quade and Pocock. Teams had Beale, Betham, Paddy Ryan, McCutcheon

Indeed they were. Not as close to the finished product as Quade and Pocock at that stage though.
Uelese would have been scary. Didn’t he play under 8s when he was like 3?
I believe the 2007 TSS team had Rob Simmons, James Slipper, Ben Tapuai, Jono Lance, Nathan Stapleton, Luke & Simon Morahan, Jarrad Butler and Mark Swanepoel and they played unbelievably professionally but I still think Quade would have carved them and whenever he got into trouble he could always rely on dumping it to Pocock.
Before the accusations come flying, I’m a Brisbane Grammar old boy so I have the true impartiality of someone who was destroyed in roughly equal measures by all these institutions.

Nah, Will didn't play with James at BBC. Will's brother Francis played in the 02 squad with Horwill and the infamous Geoff Abrahams.
Frankie was from memory was the starting 9 in 02/03, Will was 04/05 and I cant remember if Nigel was 06/07 or 07/08.
But that 05 Churchie team flogged Nudgee on Ross. This was a Nudgee team who had Ratu aka Nadolo too ! -
Just look at the size difference between Quade and Pocock!
