Pretty well spoken not what i was expecting tbh
There's an interview with him after yesterday's trial on the Broncos website, he's very well-spoken - not what I was expecting either, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I hope he sticks around and grabs a few games at least, he'd be right up there with Mariner as backs depth I'd imagine.
 
Didn't put on a bad show yesterday either.
aye has that zip over the first 30 meters and that outside inside ball play between him smoothy and i forget the other was pretty nice,wish the stream was a bit better so you could pick up how loud he was from the back getting ppl where they needed to be in the line

From what Kevvie was saying it sounds like he'll be getting more trials to bid for a contract. Maybe we might see him get a run in the halves next.

We have signed Max blanch. He is currently playing for the Brisbane tigers and is broncos contracted. He represented Queensland for rugby union and league. He plays hooker and lock. The courier mail said this about him. "We watched the clever Blanch in a man of the match performance for Met East during the Queensland rugby 15-16 years trials late last year which left us wanting to see more. Also a Queensland No.9 representative in rugby league and a Brisbane Tigers player, Blanch is an impressive rugby centre in his age group."
We are excited to see him progress as a player over the next coming years.
 
Just keep the sandwiches away, icecream is where it's at.
 
He only played one game for Easts in Cyril off the bench last season, but he made the Queensland U15 team based on his form for Met East.

15 is too young to get excited about a player, I watch Cyril but I find it hard to take much away until at least Meninga.
 
Sounds like a setting on a cook top.

"Put the broccoli to Max Blanch"

I just keep thinking this:

Who wore it better?




Jordan seemed to be playing middle in defence ?
Dunno what he was thinking rushing out of the line multiple times until Nicho Hynes exploited it for a try .

The younger age groups are who's more genetically gifted.

He has 2 university degrees .

Yeah ,,, but if you don`t get a chance when you are young , maybe you play another sport and are lost to Rugba league for good .

Pacific Islanders have a big advantage genetically . They can be a lot bigger and heavier at the same age .

There was serious talk about weight grades rather than age grades a few years back .

When I played Rugby, I played in a lower age group because I'm a smaller bloke. So no risk.
