Quote: Tarquin Fuego "Here’s something for you
When I coached Jamie Shaul I played him at hooker from aged 10
He was so fast from acting half and also followed all the breaks made
We had a fantastic full back but forgot his full name
Ryan .......Spouse ! he was on scholarship at FC
at FC and at the time a much better player than Jamie
Jamie kept Kurtis Jackson out of the side and Kurtis was a great hooker following in Dads footsteps
Aaron Ollett (Rovers) played in the same side at Centre and Dean Hadley in 2nd row
In fact Lee Williams was 6 -FC scholarship
And Sam Walsh was my 7 again FC scholarship but ended up with a long ban
I’m not sure when Jamie switches to FB'"
I don’t recall Jamie playing other than full back for us, he probably has one time or another, I think he was a bricklayer before signing professional.
junior and schoolboy level there are many starlets who don’t come through, due to dedication, work, lifestyles etc. Jamie must have taken the full back role as an amateur.
Radders has always championed Jamie’s talent and ability, and even when displaced by Rankin for form loss, Radders seemed to know who his ace in the hole was.
