    Just realised how many former NRL players have played group 6 in the last couple of years.

    Camden:
    Ray Cashmere (2014)

    Narellan:
    Rocky Trimarchi
    Shannon Gallant

    Moss Vale:
    Nathan Hindmarsh
    Ian Hindmarsh
    Scott Geddes

    Oaks:
    Mark Riddell

    Oakdale:
    Stuart Flanagan
    Arana Taumata (2014)

    Picton:
    Michael Lett

    Think there might even be a few more that ive forgotten Played against some decent players. There's a few NYC players that didn't make it too.

    They're everywhere, local side had 4* themselves last year

    Group 7:
    Gary warburton*
    Shaun Wessell*
    Luke Young*
    Brett Cox*
    Jason Hooper
    Michael Crockett
    Justin Holbrook (years ago now)

    Guys currently in NRL who played group 7 firsts, first:
    Mitch Rein
    Beau Henry
    Adam Quinlan


    Bit of talk Brett White will come over when he wraps up as well.



    Michael Crockett is sooooo shit as well, plays fullback for berry and doesn't have the ball playing abilities to cut it at this lowly level.


    Are you still playing Freddy?

    Yeah on and off. Just Reggie's now. I can't nail down my first grade spot with with work ATM.

    The idea of him playing fullback for any rugby league side at any level sends chills down my spine. He's a born winger at any level IMO.

    Just an inbred. Was a gun 5/8th/lock back in the 18s days by all reports.

    But being a gun in aged group stuff is 90% being the biggest/strongest/fastest

    How does Gallant go these days fred?
     
  7. Callum CJ Laing

    I'd presume gallantly. (face)
     
  8. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Ha! That'd be a sight to see.

    His limited amount of success in the NRL came when Collis was in Jamie Lyon God Mode. All Collis needed outside him was someone who could position himself decently in attack and run fast; Crockett ticked both boxes and scored heaps of tries in an average side. Big pay day came from the Warriors after that. think he only played about 5 games for them though and they were all awful.

    Honestly couldn't imagine him playing anywhere other than wing. Cannot pass.

    Still quick as lightning. He's just a mass fuckwit but. Still bitter and thinks he's too good for this level. He got co-POTY.
     
  10. Colesy BL Hornby

    Jason Hooper. WAG
     
  11. Frizzed WC Welker

    Pretty sure Chris Tyrie was still kicking about somewhere this year.

    Shame he wasn't 15cm taller and 8kg heavier.
     
  12. Julian BJ Taylor

    Don't recognise that name tbh.

    A fucking shitload of them play in Newcastle.
     
  13. Julian BJ Taylor

    Jermaine Ale is like a club legend and stalwart somewhere in Newy.
     
  14. Speirz DG Speirs

    Yeah, plenty of them get cushy mining jobs and paid to play for the likes of Kurri and Cessnock. You'd probably be able to put together a full 17.

    I'm looking forward to playing with cashmere next year.

    Ps: Camden Rams are hosting an NRL trial match. Gonna be hectic.
