Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg



Quote: Viking Warrior "and it has my friend, i am certainly miffed that he has turned my club down but what the heck it bodes well for england, and i too watched lomax just as i have watched young jack fom under 9's onward but believe me this lad is better...........you lucky shower.'"

I can understand the thrill. For all that there are a lot of good children out there, seeing a natural talent is a relative rarity in whatever field and to see someone able to do whatever is asked of them as naturally as breathing just gives a fantastic buzz.

No, I wasn't replying to you! I was replying to the other guy.

You are relating a child throwing paint in a reception class to whether a rugby player has the ability to make it as a top player (indeed, better than some of the best players in the country at present), or in your example that it relates to their genetic potential as a cricketer. That is stretching the bounds of logic to its very limits.

For every Johnny Lomax and Sam Tomkins there is a Jonathon Thurston, who even at the age of 18 was rejected by almost every club for to play for free. This is a player who was at one point considered the best in the world, but didn't even come close to achieving his genetic potential until his early twenties.

I did hear that his reception teacher said he was belting at throwing paintballs though, maybe we should have seen it coming.

Yeah. Saints could also sign this guy up at 16, he goes on to help win/get to Grand Finals and Challenge Cups, gets a man of steel award and then buggers off to the NRL! That doesn't mean Saints shouldn't track and sign up talented players.

You can't read.

I was giving an example of natural talent.

What?

Quote: SaintsFan "He not only lobbed the ball, but did it with absolute confidence, incredible accuracy and exactly the power required. I tested him by asking him to put a splat on the halfway fold. He did so perfectly. This little lad was 4 years old. He had fantastic hand-eye coordination and I fed this back to his teacher. He had a natural gift and could go on to make it in a sport involving the skills he had to offer - cricket, for example'"

You related a four year old child throwing paint to whether he can 'go on to make it' in a sport. I read that as that is what was written.

Are all 'teachers' so condescending, by the way?
