According to the super league apologists, he shouldnt be playing. Hes too young. He wont be able to take the hits. He should be blooded gently etc etc.

the same genetics are playing in the ARU and doing SFA.

the difference is junior development

Of course junior development plays a huge part but the building blocks are there right from day one. The fact that union can't develop it in the manner that league can doesn't detract from that fact.

After one game, you have summised this how?

He is going to be special.

yeah has had a great impact so far, hope he can maintain it


firs time i saw idris playing like he does, i thought, this guy can be another laurie.

Not only do quality players come through the ranks, but they all have quality names aswell. Yow Yeh.

Hasn't got sh[ii[/it on Tom Briscoe!

he'll be in union in 5 years time

He's from Forster. But then again Inglis is from Bowraville so who the f knows. Difference is Inglis can claim for Qld because of his time with Brisbane Norths.

Idris is a year older Watkins yet Watkins lost little in comparison in last years Academy game i saw in Brisbane.
They are both great prospects.

which is fffing disgrace



he is a nsw blue

I think that's very much overstated, but it still has no bearing on my opinion of Laurie and Idris.


Cheers. Unless something drastic occurs, I can't see him not representing.

The rule is where a player plays his first graded game.
Inglis is exactly right and what he wanted himself.
What is the problem?

Totally agree!

He should not play until he is 28 at least and his position should be taken by an "overseas" star who will help the game and the players develop





















Anyone for Senior

According to NRL fanboys,after 1 game these NRL ssuper kids are already better than anything we have..


even though the likes of idris,yow yeh & winterstein have'nt do anything yet that watkins,ainscough & michael lawrence have already done...

when did those last 3 players perform in the best RL competition going?

edit : winterstein, why did you pick him?

What have these lot done really? Okay Ainscough looks pretty good and scored some good tries. Watkins has thrown 1 very good pass to Donald out of the back door. But thats about it.
I'm not saying Idris etc have done more, but to say 'our' lot have achieved more is daft apart from playing more games.

senior is old enough too be Idris's dad

No sh[ii[/it sherlock!

i never said our lot had achieved more...


and whats daft is to go on about these aussie kids,who have only played 80mins of first grade, as if they are the 2nd coming...

There is a comp at the end of this year, you should pick the new up and comers.
Shenton
Watkins
Briscoe
Etc Etc
Cant be any worse than what you had last year.
Senior, Gleeson, and Wellens ...........................

They make look ok against Salford and Celtic but I am not sure how they will go against Hodges, Inglis and Folau and company.

senior has retired
wellens does'nt want to play anymore
and we don't have to worry about gleeson at the moment

80 mins of first grade?

laurie has played more than that

Idris had several games last year.
