Yarra shark mentioned this but valentine holmes who was a part of our SG ball team this year and has cemented his place in the 20's now has made the queensland u/18's team at fullback.
He came down from Nth QLD last year so a good bit of recruiting by us.
Some stories about him...
Can't see a thread of his so I thought i'd start one.
I know many of us think he has huge potential but his game yesterday was amazing!
He's a frizell clone with less speed but more ballplaying skills imo. Between him and lichaa we have two top class local juniors who should both get a look...
I know there is a thread for this somewhere but this forum doesn't make it easy to find threads.
On the NSWRL website there are highlights from all of the SG ball games and the sharks vs reds is on there.

They are going pretty well this year.
I know there is a thread for this somewhere but a new idea was in the telegraph today:
I would absolutely love to watch this, it would be so good to watch. Imagine our stars with guys like QQ, beale, o'connor, genia versing the all blacks/kiwis.
I know it has still been cold and the crowds have been crap but how good has the rain been this year? I think it only rained for the queens game at the start of the year. I might be missing one? but it has been a surprise.
I played a couple of years of footy with him for gymea and he has played in the sharks juniors recently matty's cup I think and now has gotten a big modelling contract overseas. there will be a feature on channel 9 tonight on either the news or the 6:30 one, tune in.
