Nathan Gardner

[slide rule]

Who cares. Just go out and do your best lad.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

I personally wish Gardner all the best and hope he does very well. Panthers are known for their tackle 5 bombs so I hope he is ready to catch them!

 

[snowman]

his catching is ordinary but if he does catch it he is dangerous

I do wish Gardner all the best for this weekend but does anyone know where Stapo is? Has he been dropped or just injured?

 

[shark23]

On the wing in NSW cup is Stapo!

 

[mnc]

I hope he goes even better than Josh Dugan did last year, remember he was a rookie plucked from U 20's.

 

[PMQ_Tony]

I just want him to go out and enjoy himself.

I just want him to go out and enjoy himself.

nothing is as enjoyable as a victory (in which you score 2 or more tries)

That's a good point mate, they've got to start somewhere.

I'm excited to see him get a crack- its always good to see young fellas making their debut, but even better when they're quick and know their way to the tryline!

 

[Illawarra Shark]

I hope the lad does well, and if he makes a hash of the odd catch, I hope the crowd does not get on his back

That worries me. Not Albert Kelly ordinary right?

 

[snowman]

against newcastle in the nyc he dropped 3 bombs in a row... and bert was the first one to pick him up.... the 4th bomb he caught and dashed 50m

 

[strangeboi]

[ballmead]

Great, he drops three in a row in NYC and they reckon he's ready for First grade? God help him and us.

 

[snowman]

he also scored 4 tries in a game...
every thing else about the kid is ready, this will do his confidence some good

One of our Finest Ever Fullbacks

Hope he kills it...there isn't much of him, but there wasn't much of this bloke either, who went on to become one of our finest ever fullbacks:

 

[fitz]

This Guy Goes OK

Yeah... I seem to remember this guy goes ok with a 1 on his back too... actually, he goes ok with any number... other than a 9 of course!

 

[snowman]

[fitz]

Love the photo brings back great memories, surely the golden era of our game.
