Nafe Seluini

[KeepingTheFaith]

Is it actually official? I haven't seen any confirmation from our club. I've only seen it referenced in a few articles and it wasn't really a focus part of them either.

I'm only hesitant to believe it as it's pretty rare for our club to sign players from other clubs that actually have the fans scratching their heads as to how they let them go... usually we're the club that's happening to.

Warriors lose Seluini but secure Godinet

9/30/2010 11:24 AM
They've lost Junior Warriors star Nafe Seluini to Penrith but have secured promising Auckland Vulcans halfback Pita Godinet.

The Warriors may have lost star Toyota Cup hooker Nafe Seluini to Penrith on a two year deal but have secured young halfback Pita Godinet .

Godinet, who played for the Auckland Vulcans has signed an NRL first grade training contract with the Warriors.

Godinet has been described by Aussie scouts as potentially the New South Wales Cup's best kept secret.

He scored 22 tries this season, even though he missed a month of football with a broken jaw.


This may partly explain why the Warriors didn't try harder to keep him. Mara is the Warriors hooker of the future and Godinet is an explosive half/hooker. While I'm annoyed we lost Seluini, can't blame him for taking his chances elsewhere.

If he keeps his head down and works hard he'll be a star.

Well that definitely looks more official then anything else we've seen. You'd just think that the Panthers management would want to brag to the world when we sign someone as it's so very rare that we get a promising player.

I hope you guys look after him. A very good player in the making. Exceptional attitude and athlete

Masada Iosefa promised the world a couple of years ago, but has definately underachieved. I have a feeling if this Kiwi kid kicks on, Masada may find himself in the wilderness.

Doesn't seem to be doing very much in the GF

Thought he was pretty good to be honest, especially in limited time.

You reckon? I thought he was quite good.

Forced a few passes from Souths through great scrambling defense.

Scored a great try.

He looks like an Issac Luke clone to me.

 

[Panther_Daz]

I thought he had a very good game too. His enthusiasm in defence was sensational.

Service from Dummy Half was crisp too. Made the right decisions.

Woah, ease up Mick. His defence wasnt even comparable.

IMO The only problem with Seluini signing is, we don't need another hooker our problems are in the halves. We won't will a competition with Luke Walsh in our side.

 

[TeamSatan]

Not just another Pee wee moke is he ?

 

[Fibroman]

Might have to move Luke Lewis back to half back. Either that or sack Elliott.

Yeah he only broke the line to score the decisive try, and only played a big part in the Fisiiahi try. Not much of a part at all :roll:

At least Luke Lewis can tackle.

 

[maple_69]

I thought he played well. Good service from dummy half, showed a great turn of speed to score his try and was very very enthusiastic. Both him and Iosefa have a world of talent, hopefully one of them fulfils it with us.

Was a great game to watch. Far better than NSW Cup and first grade tbh. Defense is seriously worrying in the 20s but the kids are so skillful and you can just see their youthful exuberance.

 

[Panthers_God]

Should resign Gower to fill in for Walsh.

 

[ashton]

Should resign Gower to fill in for Walsh.

Agree

Your kidding, what game where you watching?? not the same one as me.

I get the feeling that alot of Panthers fans are so negitive on this site, if you could not see positive signs in this kids play, you must have you eyes closed.

Most Panther fans are negative. We get a 7 that gets 32 try Assists yet people want him gone. Granted he's no Gower but does the job.

I thought Seluini went well. Decent passes, good speed, A good try from Support play and a couple of tries scored from scoots from him

 

[ozbash]

just dont wreck him,,, he is a certainty for the Kiwis in a few years.
