Ta Accept, that was actually an error in the Year Book.
I remember Matty Hyland, BAlways. He was a real workhorse for that 09 Tigers side and was unlucky not to receive a look in at first grade. Unfortunately when he came in, the Tigers had a gun backrow, if he had have graduated post-Marshall, Heighno, Ryan you never know.
I went to school with Jay Aston (not Ashton like above). He played a couple of games for PNG. He was destined for big things, but was always going to be too small for the position he played (lock).QUEENSLAND

I played against Daniel Isaac. Absolute beast of a kid. The most memorable game of my junior footy career involved him. We had the one guy who could match it with him (imagine a shorter yet faster Corey Oates), and despite there being 26 players on the field, it was basically a game of 1-on-1. Just brilliant to watch.
