Joe Lovodua

[st shaneoh]

Am I missing something? Is there some reason this young man hasn't at least been named as a development player?

We have 4 spots (1 mandatory and 3 "extra") available.
It does seem weird that we haven't finalised the development squad as yet. Maybe Lovodua will be added after his World Cup commitments have finished. He is signed to the club for next year, so it may be just a case of letting him focus on his current task.

There are a few others who also could come into that squad including, Johns and Willis.

When ever I see the name Joe Lovodua, I always think of Crazy Joe Divola from Seinfield.

I think you are correct re joe.
He can play anywhere but he seamed to go best at 9.
But has played plenty of halves.
Also there are 2 level of development play .
In your nrl squad you must name 4 are included in the 30.
Then the next level are not inclded in the top 30 and can not be used.

Makes me think - Joe Luvvyduvvy!

He impresses me, think he has a big future hopefully with us.

Henry Raiwalui, the Fiji halfback, played in the under 20's for us as well, two seasons of it if memory serves correctly back in 08/09. He was fullback back then, he's slowed down a bit now but is doing a decent job of things for the Bati

Lovodua aims for the interchange
Hooker Joe Lovodua would be happy to secure a spot on the bench in 2019.

Have the rules for DP changed?

Because how can he aspire to be an intetchange bench player?

Thanks DS61
It just seems strange that he mafevthe statement of being on the bench in 2019 in 1st grade. So either the rules have relaxed or he will be promoted to the first grade Squad.

I am sure he has been promoted to either the top squad of 30 or as a development player or similar?. Samy..over to you!

He's not in the Top 30 (currently 28 in there) at least as yet.

Ta..but he has been mentioned before maybe just to be elevated to train with them

 

[Walpole]

Maybe he just wants to sit on the bench. There's usually a free spot not being used.

 

[Belta]

Lovadua not feeling the love ATM, Allgood, Kerr, Nicholls, Timm all in the 30.

I like this kid he is worthy of developing further,but you never know with our mob of inept coaches.
