[QUOTE="1910, post: 3380224, member: 8272"] A lot of those players weren't hyped up at all, there was no way to hype them up at the time. Inglis was playing Colts in 2004 and 6 ISC games and Queensland U17. No 360, no social media. You went to the game or got to see a Norths game on ABC. Reddy got Tallis a trial at the Dragons and he played all of 92 in U21 he went down there for nothing wasn't any hype about Tallis. After the 92 U21 GF Ricketts interviewed him and wrote a sort of why aren't you at the Broncos piece- Broncos went nuts and were going to ban him from their players- not for the first time either. It took until after the Grand Final for him to do his first interview! Bunn got Hodges for $500 on a scholarship from the Crushers when they went belly up- no one else wanted him. Players could fly under the radar for years. Lockyer was playing U19 in 1995 and wouldn't have been a word spoken about him, he played Reserve grade the same day he made his NRL debut off the bench and even missed training the week of his debut because he got confused- media would be all over that now. "Hype" was different before 10 years ago, it was just guys at the game watching Colts being impressed and word of mouth. [/QUOTE]
