Trading Places - Steve Noriega

An interesting moment in last Saturday's Eastwood-Randwick game occurred when Steve Noriega , in his second senior rugby game, propped against Matt Dunning. Dunning later explained that in his second senior game he propped against Steve's dad - former Test front-rower Patricio Noriega. And former Wallabies skipper Simon Poidevin revealed at the Randwick launch another development in the Todd Carney saga. Poidevin told the audience that as Carney's mother was not coming to Sydney to take care of her wayward son, legendary Galloping Green patron Jeff Sayle had agreed to be his mentor.
