I am confused. How did we get Hart? Gun union player, wanted by Rugby AUS, we only recruit old forwards, no one wants to play for us.............

Must have slipped through the cracks........

classic example of a Silvertails urban myth

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

That's the sort of gossip/information that raises the hopes of rusted-ons like me. Surely a spot in the 17 could have been found for him, and Navale, at some point during our many down-times instead of Waddle, Jazz, Lodge . . .
Seibold never had the courage.

I think he’s just 19, plenty of time , next year I’d say

 

[Coops manly]

Hugo was one of the best players in the GPS Rugby system up here , I think he may have been captain of the Nudgee College First XV.

I know the father of a current Nudgee top player , he told me that Hugo was an absolute gun, and Rugby Australia were apparently very pissed that he went to League.

Very interesting mate thanks for the info.
He looks very good in excited to see him progress!

Not necessarily if Seibold is still a selector.

Lol yeah Silvertails was clamouring for years for Lehi to get a run (not) 🙂
If he's good enough I'm pretty sure he'll get a shot.

If he's not better than Waddel, Jazz or Lodge then what's all the fuss about him?

Give it a break with this crap. He has just turned 19 years old this week & has played 18 Rugby League games in his life. The fuss is because he’s an outstanding athlete & most can see a big future in time considering how well he has already adjusted. Why are you comparing him to Lodge or Jazz anyway who never play back row?

 

[ManlyTragic]

Well when Walsh gets to his early to mid 30’s and has played 300+ first grade games,we’ll see if he’s still doing it

.. well if he gets to that and he is not taking on the line then maybe that is a sign that he should retire.

Just sayin’

Oh I agree,but the original comment was based on somebody comparing DCE to Walsh

Hart has only just turned 19... There is no benefit to throwing him in the deep end at this point of the season.

Having 18-19 year old NRL halves and backs is one thing, but they have to be a physical freak to hit the ground running as an NRL forward at that age.

I’m not saying Hart should be given an nrl debut now but there has been teen age props that have been successful Moeaki Fotuaika debuted at 18 as did Francis Molo and I think Sioni Fainu was 19 - I’m sure there are many more that have made it - AFB, Tino ?
A handy front rower named Ray Stehr made his debut a few years back at age 16
If you are good enough you are old enough

… how old was Suaalii when he debuted?
