I've seen only about a dozen in a few junior rep trials this year so far, but that was about a dozen more than I saw a few years ago.

I've also seen a couple running around in the NSW Cup and QLD Cup.

How long do you reckon before one gets a shot in the NRL?

What part of Africa are they from? We have quite a few Somalians here in Perth but they don't tend to have the physical attributes for RL. Better suited to Basketball or the high jump looking at the build of them.

I always think teh West Indies would have some naturally talented RL players, build wise at least.

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

broncos have a young afro who is a sporting superstar . expecting big things . like a young wendel :wink:






winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
