Gee whiz, guess this is why the change in junior recruitment they are implementing.
Local juniors Beau McKee(11) and Billy Miller(13) are guys they are developing who are ones to watch.
There are others like Tuionetoa(8) Death(9) Alexander(6) Davies(6) etc......
Harder to find kids a little older but they are looking at locals.
 
His Resolute nature makes him a potential Origin player
Does he qualify for the Maroons @maxta ?
I actually think he was a Manly junior Bozo - but I'm not 100% sure of his birth place
Definitely a tough player who could play on any arena and hold his own and then some imo
 
This guy played for Belrose and went to St Augustine’s.

Seems to be playing well for the dogs, why isn’t he mentioned anywhere as a potential Manly Junior??
Because he isn’t a potential Manly junior.

He is a Manly junior.

Born over at Wahroonga, presumably at the Adventist Hospital.

If you mean why don’t the commentators mention that he is a Manly junior? You would have to ask them.

Why was he not graded at Manly? By his own admission, he played poorly in a trial game for the junior rep teams.

He grew up wanting to play for Manly. His father wanted him to play for Manly. On his mother’s side (I believe), he has a grandfather that played for the Berries (today’s Bulldogs).

We had a plumber come over, and I was dressed in my Manly onesy, hat and sockies (which instantly endeared me to him hahaha).

Anyways, we got talking about Manly, and he said his son went to one of the Rugby League schools around here. He showed me pics of his kid playing representative rugby league (for Australia). Kid was an absolute giant.

Anyways, he went on to say Manly's pathways are that much of a disgrace, that they've had to transition to Rugby Union. He knew all the names (which allude me), that are involved for us.

What a shame. Our kids have to either go to another region, or different sport, because of how nasty our pathways are.
