CCB U15 2013 Grand Final Winners


All kids are at the moment only 17

Point is, who knows where kids are going to go, mostly influenced by parents thinking little johnny is ronaldo, the paths will cross, some will stay loyal to their club, some will trophy hunt, some will "think " they are going because they are really that good ......

This totally sums up for me the better part of this entire thread.

Sounds like a few people are happy they only thought about magic and didn't end up there. So where will bb be plying his trade next year? Will he be playing 17s or 19s?

Don't know till after trials .........😄😄

Hey Why man. How come so many of this years U15's trailing at magic for 2016 17's ?

Thought winners would stay together

Good to see a couple of this years U15's make the Weston 2016 U19 squad
Couple if good young players and good to see the club giving them a go

Apparently it's the only club with places available. Most of Magic 15s and 14s left.

Maybe a few reasons, coach moved on, club not really performing well ????

Good to see some kids already "selected" at EJ's trialling at clubs. Hopefully patents are starting to see that a good strong club is a worthwhile option

Nice to see, give them a go, was a couple of really good players in Weston 15's this year
Good luck to them

Further to this it appears that none of the CCB boys were successful with many/most existing magic boys coming back ??? Confirmation anyone ???

Last season Magic 14s apparently only 5 or 6 backing up for next years 15s. Next seasons 17s for Magic had 7 of this years 15s try out. Some of those trialed with other clubs as well, 9 never returned at all. Some only backing up with belief they will be playing 19s, time will tell. Others staying with hope/expectation they can get game time next year.

Thanks for info
Nine coming back is probs more than expected ??
One CCB that trailed for 17's was this years 15's player of the year and he missed out so some quality must have stayed
Surely none are staying on the hope of 19's ??? They would know ?? And have alternate lined up ???

Heard not all CCB players trying out bothered to commit in the end, but selections probably not the coaches strong point. Only 2 of last years 17s stayed back, both disrupted by long term injuries.

I know one CCB wanted to go there, schoolmates with a magic player

We're did all the 17's go ?? I thought that most of those were able to play 17's again 2016 ??? Maybe off to team orange to reform under the super coach from younger years ???

All others didn't try out for 17s. Saw the writing.

So all done ?

See some clubs, Weston, Edgeworth, Maitland have posted squads on their sites, any others ?

Does any one know of any of this years 15's making the jump to 19's besides Weston boys ?
Like to see clubs giving them a go

Also see the EJ squads announced

Not a lot of change so either they have the best or are not looking

Disappointing that in 15's ( next years 16's) only one kid added, so no other kid is deserving a chance

Don't agree for mine there were quite a few who deserve a chance especially given, some of current squad are all out of ability

Some must agree with me as they are giving these kids a go in their 19 squads,

Can't see what you don't want too

It is no different in any sport. It is harder to get into the squad then out of it. You only have to see the number of times players are recycled back in when they have been rejected to see the mentality. I agree there must be kids who are of better ability across the grades and until we have a system that rewards the kids and treats the Emerging Jets as an extra to the club development then this will always be the case.

Mate don't knock yourself out.......
Probably lots of kids that deserve a chance, might not be better now but would or could they be if given a chance ????

Obviously EJ's have little respect for what comes out of NPL youth ?? If the quality of kids coming out of NPL Yourh isn't up to std then NNSWF should do something to improve it, not persist with this elite program

Or as you say they are just blindsided??? Remember to bring kids from outside the program is admitting they may have got it wrong ........to keep all kids means they got it right !!!!!
