Whats happened to these Juniors - WA Under 16 2011

This group is this years/next year Under 20's and these players seemed to have dropped from sight:

Jean-Charl Smith, Centre, Joondalup;
Odin Hugo, Wing, Mandurah;
Luke Connolly, Palmyra;
Alexander Christian, UWA;
John Vander Wielan, Palmyra;
Harry Hales, Cottesloe; Is he a hooker in Colts with Norths in Sydney
Conor Spence, UWA; Is he Lock with UQ Colts
Shane Gillham, Southern Lions; WARL or Sevens at Palmyra in 2013
Andrew Roche, Associates; Has he gone east to Melbourne and is playing for Melb Uni 10 Colts;

From 2013 WA Schoolboys Squad:
Hayden Anderson, Aranmore Catholic College, Club unknown, position unknown;
Blake Phillips, Clarkson SHS, Wanneroo, position unknown;
Joshua Billington, Hale School, Centre;
Jacob Kohinga, Aranmore Catholic College, Kalamundra, Full Back;
Isaiah Pederson, Thornlie SHS, Wing.

From WA Under 20 2014 - are these two injured
Delroy Tapuosi, Palmyra
Brad Campbell, Wanneroo

Was Blake Phillips the guy who was also a shot-putter? He was a lock/6/8 wasn't he? Bit too short to be a lock are would be more likely to be an 8 long term I'd have thought. Maybe he packed it in though.

Quick google search says he is in Manuwatu in New Zealand: http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-stan...et-for-Kia-Toa

Hayden Anderson plays No 8,at Wests, has undergone surgery for shoulder ,good to go next season and will be playing 1st grade

Jean-Charl Smith moved to Qld he is at Nudgee College

Isaiah Pedersen is playing in NZ. Under 20's and 1st grade for Napier Tech in Hawkes Bay region. He is still only 18.

Jacob Kohinga is at Hamilton BHS this year.
Joe Simpkins is a Sacred Heart College in Aucklands A1, plays along side the Tonga Thor Prop all over youtube.
Blake and Gus are in the Manawatu Academy

These 9 lads were the Forces 2012 National Gold Squad members for the ARU, most seem to have gone walkabout but hopefully return at some point:

Pretty sure Tristan is back at Brothers - you may not recognise him at first sight, he's a loosey now.

Half of those guys (Yoxall, Taylor, Backhouse and Schneider I think) played in the WA and/or Southern States U20s in the recent championships.

When I first saw him play I thought old school Jamie Joseph, hard as nails and probably wears gumboots to the game.....a talent!

Plays with real attitude and has bulked up a fair bit. Has done all the right rehab gym work. Will be very interesting to see how he progresses next season as long as he can channel his raw aggression properly, can be too much of a loose cannon at times.

U describing yourself westie

Ha ha, just keep your clammy mitts off him he's ours and the bulking up bit on my behalf is beer related

So how many have remainined in WA and are playing senior rugby in the Premier Grade, is RWA keeping track of development, where players are, going and could go?
