Ha you just had to laugh at their performance today.

They lead 42-22 with 13 minutes to go and ended up losing 46-42.

Embarrassing isn't it

Boys would have learned a good lesson from this.. about playing the full 80 and if you switch off you can lose it..
Best time for it to happen.. before they hit first grade..

I like these U20's.. some of these guys are gunna shine in the coming years..

Agreed.

Chisholm, Fonua, Harris, Bromwich, Morseau and Woolford are all destined for 1st grade. Hampton too could be something special, but like most of this bunch he is still atleast 2 years off.

The under 20's is abit of a joke to be honest. To go from that to first grade!
"Better to have Won then Lost, than to have never won at all" Arrogant, but true hahahaha

I was very surprised to see them give up a lead like that and lose.  The Rabbitohs just kept running them in to the point where it was getting ridiculous.  But, to say "LOL at the Under 20's!!" is a bit of a dick comment.

third played 2nd last - maybe you should have LOL'd Souths giving up their early lead to let Storm get 42-22 ahead in the first place

We need to recognise the U20s for what it is. Its not necessarily the next step to FG,  just one of the pathways.
I agree with Noa, they're improving.  With another pre-season and focussed defence work this team will go well in 2011. They're young compared to most of the others and the U20s comp is all swings and roundabouts.  Most clubs have to re-build every few years & Storm promoted a lot of  the experienced U20 players into NSW/Fg this year which left a young (but gutsy) side. 
These young guys are on a journey and far from a joke - lets support them!  Bring on 2011.

They showed they have got attacking flair, but need to work on their defence - which could be said of all the U20's.

They are starting to 'look' the part (ie developing the body size).

Morseau, A'auva, Fonua, Williame, Harris, Hampton.

Some of our best players.

I think you will find they all started the year in sg ball (u/18's), all have 2 years left to develop in the 20's. Next year we'll be great.

Fatty on the footy show last week was saying it shoudl be under 22's. which would be better..

I think Andrew Johns made the comment, that the backs can go alright.. but the forwards is to big of a jump and they get lost in FG.
