I object to the word "old"!!!He must be good as there isn't one old fart comment saying "sheesh, yet another tigers signing" or [insert something about union here].
lol.
Go Manly!!!!
Tom Wright seemed more of an outside back - full back type player where this lad has presumably or is being groomed as a future half or 6 .I'm sure I've seen a similar highlights package from schoolboy rugby a few years ago that had us excited....
Tom Wright anybody?
He may be a superstar but as you (rightly) point out there is a lot of water to flow between here and there...I'm sure I've seen a similar highlights package from schoolboy rugby a few years ago that had us excited....
Tom Wright anybody?
The tigers came last in the NRL,but I would take Galvin,Fainu,Koroisau,Pole or Utoikamanu and Bula.I keep reading that Wests are producing all these 'superstar' juniors.
Didn't they come last in all the junior rep competitions this season?
I think the main difference is that Wright never had a grounding in league,someone like Large has been playing league as a junior.I'm sure I've seen a similar highlights package from schoolboy rugby a few years ago that had us excited....
Tom Wright anybody?
The only team to make the finals, was the one Large was playing in, and they lost the GF of that comp. Harold Matt's Magpies iirc.I keep reading that Wests are producing all these 'superstar' juniors.
Didn't they come last in all the junior rep competitions this season?
Must note that they have both a Tigers and a Magpies in Harold Matt's. Both Larges played for the Magpies, with Ashton playing in the GF.Just to clarify Wests Tigers' junior successes/failures this season:
Last: NSW Cup, SG Ball, Harrold Matthews
7th: Jersey Flegg
Certainly looks to be a "good'un". Has the size to perhaps fit in at centre or full-back. One proviso about those videos - the defences involved were very poor.Certainly has good skills. Fast, excellent step and swerve off both feet, strong on his feet and doesn't easily succumb to a tackle, good distribution skills, good defense. Looks a very likely prosect. Hope Manly handles him well.
I don’t expect any announcements till after the GF - need to fill the long off season with content somehowManly supporters sure are keen for a couple of signings. Something. Anything.
