Message: [QUOTE="mrslong, post: 3664121, member: 1973"] Speaking of GI - I read that he potentially was the fastest 400m runner in Australia as a junior and Athletics Australia wanted to recruit him. He was bloody elite, but he came into grade too young for his frame and developed those back/hip injuries and the mental health issues when he piled on the weight made his star wan and people went right off him (planes not flying also had us turning on him, a lot of pie jokes) Ultimately it was GI’s injuries that made the NRL consider making it mandatory to be over 18 to play NRL iirc. The greatest raw talent I’ve seen. I’ll never forget The Storm game in 2006 at Suncorp it was our last regular round loss before we turned it around and they only won off a Greg Inglis length of the field piece of nastiness. [/QUOTE]
