Apologize if this has mentioned before haven't trawled through all the recent threads.

Today the Telucrap is reporting we have signed Eli Roberts to a train and trial deal for the preseason.

Who is that?

Quick google search shows he’s an outside back who’s played for the Steelers and Magpies in the NSW Cup.

Side note, his wife, Taleena Simon plays for our NRLW side.

I think the link is https://youtu.be/AQnsig6T3bQ (with a 'Q' at the end). Aside from the Kiwi Rap tune about the All Blacks (wrong code, bro + rap sux... then there's kiwi rap... I mean how many dude do you REALLY know who roll like this? A 'special' few buddy, a special few...) it's a pretty neat compilation.

Guessing he's playing for a spot in the Bears but it's fun seeing all the videos of him playing around the Gong for Corrimal. My childhood club's Thirroul

Dated 2015 though... say he was 18 then... 25 year old playing for his first shot at 1st grade as an outside back? Shows the commitment some of these guys have ay!

Overall... awkward running technique but looks fast. Wonder if B-Moz had a hand in this? His family (not just him) would know who's got it down the Gong so who knows ay. Always amazes me that St George get the farking Gong's catchment area instead of vice versa. The Gong's produced way more stars in recent years than the St George region (which is an odd little pocked squished between Souffs/Bullwogz/Paedocostal-ville). Whereas the Gong's the farking Gong... everything from Helensburgh to Gerringong pretty much (with players as far as Nowra and Moruya going through their systems too). But sure... 'St George'...

St Merge have fallen asleep at the wheel when it comes to their inherited Illawarra/South Coast nursery.
Fancy not recognising the abilities of Reuben Garrick and Jason Saab and granting them releases only to see them prosper elsewhere.

Bears announced his signing a couple of weeks ago. I guess it's a bit like the Nu Brown situation. I did a potential Bears squad for next year a little while ago, and adding a few of these signings looks promising for them.

Interesting highlights package for Roberts. Certainly has natural speed and attacking qualities, hope still has it.

Every time he broke clear I was waiting for the step the fullback move (love that one). But instead did the little footy kid just run around him move! Obviously has faith in his pace.
