Young Reds

[rugbywhisperer]

that's not a bad thing. He should be capped now though. Perhaps in 7s for a couple of seconds.
Then go over there for a year or two.
and come home of course.

You would play PAE in an international 7's game?
Boy that wouldn't look too cynical would it.
PAE ain't going anywhere and he should play u20's this year - does that count in being 'capped'.

Speaking of young Reds (thread hijack warning), I am going to take my 13 month old son to the Force game next sunday afternoon. Anyone know if they will make me by him a ticket?

Ticketek says a junior is 3-15 years so you should be good to go.

Don't understand why they haven't given him a run in QAS side. Precisely why these players go overseas.

This tendency to bring kids through prematurely really annoys me. Let him enjoy his nappy stage in peace. And anyway, at 13 months he's far too young to be heading off overseas.

nice Bruce. :lmao:

rw. No, only thing that ties him is test cap. Australia A game against another international team's A side or the 7s team.

Kingi has apparently agreed to move to the rebels...

this is a big loss as well, i understand why he would have taken the chance though

It is good overall for Oz rugby if this is true. Loss for the Reds, sure, but in a position we can afford it.

We were always going to lose either Kingi or Lucas.

Brent Hamlin in the twos is a good player - with a ridiculously crisp pass.

well he must have had a very off game the last time I saw him play.

I for one am glad that we got Kingi.

I don't know about that Bruce, he has been walking since before he turned 10 months old, and if I put him down anywhere he is off without a backward glance. I once trailed him after putting him down in a restaurant, he walked out the door, around the corner and into the next restaurant whereby he started flirting and following the waitress. Not once did he look back for Mum or Dad.

Yep - people tend to forget that while these blokes get paid for playing a game we all love, there are still bills to pay and families to support.

Yeah, he's got three young kids. Makes sense to do that. No hard feelings , he's a Starting S14 half back.

Watched too much of Richie's play. Obviously offside and deserves a smack on the clacker. Don't do it again young man, or you'll get pinged! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Hamlin is one of the most inconsistent players to play rugby. I will stand to that fact, I have watched him numerous times, last year for Prems he was a good player, with a great pass; yes an incredibly crisp pass. I have seen the next week where he is slow to the break down and his service can be ordinary. Interesting to see if he becomes anything big, I'm doubting it though.

He may/will be. Though he hasn't proven himself yet.

"Started flirting and following the waitress" did he, Scotty? I hope you're not too disappointed that you've bred a back. Now if he'd wandered into a pub ...

hamlin is a wild boy off the paddock - thats why he is so inconsistent. and thats why he doesnt own an ACT brumbies contract.
