Spot on sweet-as, this does not look anywhere near the side they ran out against qld academy. Where is boltsie, jennings,doran etc. It does not make sense if this is the top 20 in the age, you cant just wipe all the matts players that they have wiped. Where is halfback? he has contacts and should let us know if this is the top 20.

I dont think penrith realise this....They have cut both hookers....Joel and Paul-nelson.
They have also cut Front Rower Doran, with the other matts front rower Tai going to parra...Where do they expect to pull a forward pack from next year??

PENRITH U/18 NZ TOURING SIDE –V- TARANAKI ACADEMY SIDE​

Game played today at Waitara Oval in the Taranaki Province with the sun shining through....much different to the weather we have been having – at a place where you can surf and ski in the one day.
Robbie Mate missed the game today due to an ankle injury and we have two players suffering from colds – Harry Siejka and Blake South....both experiencing the doctors of New Zealand....who were very efficient.
The game today was again played in 3 x 20 minute periods. Taranaki had an excellent start with a very early try to their No. 3 which was not converted. This was followed by another try to Taranaki by their No. 5 and was converted. Penrith then scored two tries, firstly to Solo Alone which was converted by Harry Siejka and the second by Jon Pepa which was not converted. This saw the end of the first period with a scoreline of Taranaki 10 – Penrith 10.
Penrith started strong in the second period and continued this scoring three unanswered tries firstly to Harry Siejka, then to Blake South and the last to Jon Pepa with Harry converting all three. At the end of the second period of play the score was Taranaki 10 – Penrith 28.
Penrith came out in the third period strongly again with Harry scoring another try which was not converted. Taranaki then replied with their No. 6 going over for a try with was converted. Thanks to another two tries by Penrith’s Jon Pepa and Tony Satini which were not converted gave Penrith a comprehensive win.
The final score was Taranaki 16 – Penrith 40.
Thanks must go to the club for their hospitality during our stay in their Province.
Also to John and Kerri Eisenhuth and Sharon and Amanda Carl who have travelled to New Zealand to watch their son’s play.
Our next game is on Friday against Auckland.

TAI TUIVASA JUMPS SHIP TO PARRA
Story & Photo By :

Tai Tuivasa from Penrith has joined the Parramatta Eels SG Ball team for next season.
The 120 kg human wrecking ball was not graded by Penrith for next year and trialled with Parramatta last week.
He scored two tries and made numerous line breaks and will be a good addition to the already powerful Eels line-up.

Monday 12 th October 2009 AUCKLAND DOWN PANTHERS

The Penrith under 17 development squad have been defeated by Auckland under 18's in their final tour match of New Zealand by 36-28.

Despite a two try effort by big second rower Sam Hollis the boys from the foot of the mountains could not overcome the strong local team. The Panthers went into their final hit out light on for players due to various injuries. They even had to talk a local lad into playing for them!

Last game of the tour for the boys played in very cold conditions. On arriving at the ground we were met by the Lower Mountains Masters team. Penrith had a couple of players out due to injury and we had a player from New Zealand, Jeziah, playing with the Penrith team.
The Auckland team which we were lining up against was the Auckland Under 18 champions. The game was played in 2 x 40 minute halves.
Penrith opened the game with a try to Sam Hollis which was not converted. Auckland came back very strongly with three tries, two of which were converted. Just before the half time break Jake Butler-Fleming scored a try and this was converted by Harry Siejka. A great half of football with the score at half time Auckland 16 – Penrith 10.
The second half saw seven tries in total scored.
The first try went to Penrith’s Vaipuna Tia Kirifi and was converted by Harry Siejka levelling the scores at 16 all. This was followed by another Penrith try to Keti Nanai and was again converted by Harry Siejka giving Penrith the lead at 22 – 16.
Auckland came back with two consecutive tries both of which were converted bringing the score to Auckland 28 – Penrith 22.
It was a tough game with some hard hits and both teams controlled themselves well. Penrith hit back again with another try to Sam Hollis which was converted by Harry Siejka. The score was again level at 28 all.
The boys played a good tough hard fought game of football but the Auckland team scored two late tries which were not converted.
The final score was Auckland 36 – Penrith 28.

I've got to admit, it seems Sam Hollis is playing out of his skin at the moment because he is sure getting plenty of mentions. I was very wrong about him I think and it's a credit to the kid that he is really putting his best foot forward.

it is obviously a mistake, if sam had intentions of playing for balmain he definatley would not have gone to nz, and if he is playing as well as what he supposably is, y would u move??

im more interested in the other players from the penrith district, who is jesse haora and jeremy blanchard?? are they any good? what positions were they for windsor etc. also mitchell beggs mowezan is the little blonde kid from st clair isnt he? doesnt really hav a position, as he switches from wing to the halves?? or hav i got it wrong

 

[brothersleague]
