is lightning-quick, an endurance machine and a clean user of the footy who’s best used on a wing or at half-back. The Northern Knights product was called up for his AFL debut against Melbourne at the SCG in Round 4, 2019, and although he wouldn’t feature at the top level again in his first year at the club, he was a stand-out in the NEAFL. McInerney is eyeing more opportunities at senior level in 2020.

Your son must have won a few scrums just on his weight.
I was very fast. I was a greyhound. I played league in the centres and wing. But I was tall and if we got injuries I would go into the second row. I hated it. My ears got ripped off we packed in so tight. It hurt. We practiced it. Even in practice it hurt.
Scrums are not scrums anymore. No one packs in tight like a rugby scrum in leauge. It is a joke.

The size of some of the U16 props was truly frightening. He wasn't the biggest, though in the top rank. I was a hooker and played league for Riverina at CHS in 1969, back when scrums were competitive. 5'8" and 11st 8lb. Way too small to ever play higher than St George District A Grade.
Super League did me in, don't follow at all any more.
Rules is played differently now but is still essentially the same game. League is boring.

I agree. League is boring.
