Owen Craigie

[chunk67]

Does anyone have any memories of this guy ? Im playing with him in our local first grade side - Inverell Hawks which has been an unreal experience. I cant remember much of him playing.

What are your memories of him ?

 

[BackRowMadness]

Very gifted but lacked the motivation to realise his full potential. From what i remember he loved his food more than his footy

 

[Capital_Shark]

Fat and skilful comes to mind. Bit of a wasted talent. Being with Souths during their horror years no doubt did his career no favours.

 

[fitz]

He was an incredibly talented junior player who had all the boxes checked - made an impressive debut to the NRL as a 16 year old kid still at school.

As he got older he had some attitude and fitness problems. Amazing talent when he was young though.

he signed up with the halidays point mako's a couple of years back with milton thaiday and brett grogen

owen and brett went walk about before the season started, who would have guessed

 

[chunk67]

yeah, brett has also signed with us but is yet to show!

Jason Ferris was signed but also didnt show because of continued court troubles and still owes money to a club i think

 

[Capital_Shark]

Was it Ferris who copped a flogging recently?

 

[chunk67]

yeah he did at the end of last year i think

 

[greg_bird]

yeah, brett has also signed with us but is yet to show!

hahahahahahahahahaaa some things never change

One memory of him, a goal kick for souths, just to the side of the post, 10 metres out, has an almighty swipe and it dribbles off the tee, very reminiscent of a kick i would of made in the under 7's :fergo:

 

[chunk67]

we cant all be as good as you but pandapat, remember that

 

[Capital_Shark]

yeah he did at the end of last year i think

Thats right.. and it had nothing to do with the gambling debts he was disputing in court :fergo:

 

[pandapat]

we cant all be as good as you but pandapat, remember that

:glasses-cool:

 

[chunk67]

cant find any footage of him . Matty Johns says that he was the most talented player he has ever played with. He is also the only person ever to represent Australian Schoolboys 3 years in a row

 

[drw92]

played for newcastle and souths not for long though just remember him kicking 4 goal so fast none that soward ****

 

[chunk67]

haha, it was refreshing to see presto kicking the other night, real fast like craigie. Ironic as they are from the same town as eachother and nathan blacklock! a town of about 700

 

[brently]

yeah weight dragged him down a bit. taented though. remembr one year when souths were struggling - might have been when coach tugger colman got sacked - souths kpt trying midfield grubbers with a view of regathering them but cragie was never quite quick enough to get there first.

 

[deano the p]

He could have been anything when he started but he very quickly drifted away

 

[Rapture_Shark]

i saw an old game of souths v storm in 04 today, he played, went alright, unbelievebly joe williams played good!

exactly how i remember him. With ball in hand he was good just way to slow and sluggish. terrible conditioning.
