I miss the reserve grade days or even when the Toowoomba Clydesdales were the Bronco's farm team. Having contracted players scattered around the ISC makes it a very uninteresting competition to say the least IMO.
We used to attend games just so we could see GI in action and even at age 17, he was far too good for Q Cup. Chris Walker was another one, I seen him score seven tries in one game. Unfortunately, he horribly underachieved as far as his first grade career goes but he could have been anything if not for the vast space between the ears. A bit like Dave Taylor.I miss the Clydesdales, still remember watching as many of their games as I could back in those days pre-everyone has a camera / live stream days. I still remember seeing Dave Taylor and thinking my gosh this kid is something special. He terrorized Easts I think it was and my jaw was on the ground.
I also remember first spotting GI as a lanky young freak in one of his few games in those days but obviously not for the Clydesdales and thinking to myself, why oh why is he with Melbourne and not us.
