the next big thing

Posted by The Offside Eel on May 18, 2015 at 7:02am
A mate of mine who lives in the states was back this weekend for the 1st time since 09 we were having a chat about the eels he was asking who of the juniors that i used to pump up has kicked on. That group that i was so convinced would kick on was players such as mannah, mortimer, Keating brothers (i said they would both play origin) Albert kelly, Nathan GardnerNot one of those players have kicked on to be superstars others i can think of are the witt boys Dan Irvinewhat players have you guys pumped up to only to fizz out.

    Jason Bell. I thought he was a future rep. Even at the backend of his career.

    David Penna, I saw him play all 3 grades one day and scored 7 tries between them, looked like he was the next Brett Kenny.

      He was my favorite player as a young Bloke

      I was there that day. I was convinced he would make it

    Chris lawler was another one i was convinced was the next big thing

      I still have a 95 or 96 jersey with Lawler's '5' on the back, signed by the man himself. Loved him.

    Bevan French & Zach Dockar-Clay are definitely future first grade stats both are only 19 and french's speed will get him places and docker-clay passing and kicking abilities will make him the next Cronk and If we lose these players I will be so angry as they are huge stars in the making

      French has potential. ZDC will be lucky to play a few first grade games, let alone be a star. The fact we are after Craig Garvey indicates that the coaching staff think the same.

    Jacob Loko.... I know the talent is still there but he's not all right in the head if you ask me, Attitude problems is why he got tapped on the shoulder by Brad, and we all know how the story goes as soon as he joined the Jihadi's... Oops I mean Canterbury

      Jason Bell. Sterlo agreed he should have been picked for Origin.
