Blocker's son a Rah Rah
The news article on our main page announces our very own assistant coaches (BLOCKER) son going to play in the Red & Black for Norths in Sydey club rugby.
He follows a number of other players who are sons of famous League players to turn their back on League. These include Rogers, Giteau & Henjak.
It will be interesting to see if Blockers front row partner in the Aust schoolboy side follows his lead. He is Phil Daleys son and grand son of the late Doug Daley. If he stays in League & plays for Manly he would become a 3rd generation player for the Sea Eagles which would be a first I believe.
What I cannot understand is why someone brought up in league circles with a strong family connection decides to jump ship to union. I guess it is their private school background gained from their fathers financial gain playing league.
