just finished watchin highlights of some of the sg ball games from last weekend, and petterson-robati was a standout in the storm-raiders game. Also found out he's only turning 16 this year, it'll be good to see how he goes against traditionally strong teams like the roosters and doggies. How long is he contracted to the storm?Richie Kennar and Pride Petterson-Robati are the 2 (Jesse Parete as well but he's not playing) who will go on to much bigger things from the Storm. Most of the rest are Vic kids so its a bit hard to get a guage on how good they are.

WOW A 6 YEAR CONTRACT! Haven't heard a rugby league player on such a long contract before. Good on him and the storm!We signed him to a 6 year contract as a 14 year-old. From what I can gather he's pretty much the complete package for a 13. Size, speed, agility, ball-skills, tough and enjoys defence.
Looking forward to seeing him play in a couple of weeks

Wow exactly. Ask anyone with legal training. As soon as he turns 18 he can get out of any contract signed by his parents.
This guy captained NSW 16s against QLD last year. He is a seriously bright talent. Looks like he can do it all, kick goals, the lot. He is only 17 years old and has a lot of developing to do. The Steelers also have a very good half back in the 20s as well. They also had Beau Henry, can't keep them all. Illawarra is not noted for developing half backs but they have some good ones here. Last good 7 to come out of the Steelers was John Simon and he played Origin at 19 years of age. Illawarra tends to produce forwards. They had a good one in Shannon Wakeman but Penrith took him at the end of 2010. That's the salary cap for you. If he was developed at Melbourne may be he would still be there.Anyone with knowledge of the Steelers know anything about the halfback Shannon Crook? I heard some talk that he was on something like $25k for them, and that he was spotted by Wayne Bennet. Anyone confirm or is this just rubbish talk?
So after two rounds so far, looks like some interesting results, penrith zip from 2 in matts,,, pressures on especially if they drop one more, looks like parra are in for another big season in the matts as well.........Dogs are set also for a big year in the ball, maybe knights can give them a run, they seem to be going well..... lets here your thoughts anyway.......
