Quote: sally cinnamon "As for another "guilty pleasure", in the early to mid 1990s a young stand-off/fullback came out of our Academy who was the best young player I ever saw come out of our Academy. Absolute class in every department, great long pass, nerveless goalkicker, great step on him, could jink through the line with ease. At 18/19 years of age already as good as anybody in the league.
He seems to have been airbrushed out of memory for most of our fans but not me.'"
If only Harris and Sculthorpe had come through the system 10-15 years later what a backbone to a team that would have made. With a mature club management and decent coaching team you can only dream of what would have been had they stuck around.
Still, didn't work out that way so no crying over spilt milk.
Interestingly, can anyone think of a player with as much natural talent and Rugby League skills as Harris to come through RL since then? Not sure I can, no disrespect to the likes of Tomkins et al.
