On Thursday I spoke to rugby League legend Greg Florimo. He said he
was very excited about and very much looking forward to his club
competing in the 2004 World Sevens.
While many people don't consider
Sevens Football to be Serious football, The Bears are taking their
participation seriously. And while teams such as The Bulldogs will
deliberately field a second string team Norths will put all the
resources it has into the Sevens.
However there is a disclaimer that is
necessary here. It will be very difficult for Norths to complete with
teams that that have the enormous resources of the NRL teams. Norths
has struggled loosing many players to NRL clubs over the pass few
years and it will be an enormous achievement if they are successful.
Having said that I believe they are capable and while they have
struggled against the really "big" teams like Canberra and Penrith they
showed enormous skills against Parramatta and Souths.
What ever happens I wish the whole team good luck.
