Yeah, we all know where the Knights fowards will be running all night now anyway. I don't care how good the kid is, we all saw what happens when you push young blokes to hard with SBW, and he was still a year or 2 old than this bloke.

I remember when the Cowboys wanted to blood Josh Hannay about twelve years ago and were vetoed by the NRL because he was too young (hadn't turned 16 before the start of the year). When he was old enough he got picked.

FTR I knew the story but I checked on wiki to made sure what I typed was correct.

Was it Kurtly Beale that had to wait a year or two before playing Super 14 because the selectors weren't allowed to pick him? I seem to remember something similar to this happening and the ARU blocked him, or somebody else, from being picked. I'm surprised that it hasn't happened in this case,

The kid sounds unbeleivably talented, but he'll get demolished out there. In saying that, it'd be pretty awesome if he dominated against the Knights.

Yeah ARU changed the rules that year so you had to be a certain age to play open rugby, I think it might have been 18. Then changed it back this season after Super 14 clubs asked for exceptions to play guys in the A sides, and then the Super 14 teams.

As good as the Raiders have done in the last couple seasons. Until they get a high profiled coach or become more financially secure. They will probably always be a mid table side.

Tell me how many finals series Canberra has missed out on in the last 15 years.

Then tell me the score today.

Now tell me again that Canberra are the ****test team in the NRL.

Might I add Canberra did it with third choice halfback, thirds choice fullback, third choice hooker, depleted back row and two of the first choice three quarters missing as well. If only the Sri Lankan cricket team played with as much passion as Canberra do rugby league eh.

The quote that you post I said mid table.

Was joking FWIW when I said, any side in the NRL is better then Raiders. Good bait imo, got you look line and sinker.
