Another Former NRL Player for the AMNRL?

[deluded pom?]

The latest tweet from Mr Niu is that former Warrior and Kiwi Wairangi Koopu will be the next ex NRL player to head to the AMNRL. Interesing times if true.

4 now? interesting stuff indeed. Nothing more on the supposed series in July?

 

[deluded pom?]

Which series do you mean Jim? The NRLUS?

Would be nice if there was a decent news source other than someone's Twitter.

Here's some news for you: Neither Jye Mullane nor Tony Duggan will be playing in the AMNRL this year.

so they wont be playing this year? and also do you happen to know where wairangi is headed i would guess the warriors they have a large amount of pacific islanders playing for them

 

[Cheby]

I haven't heard anything about Wairangi.

Wasn't there supposed to be a series (for lack of a better word) in July where all the teams play at the one venue and there's about 6 rounds? Haven't heard anything for a while so maybe it's not on.

If you mean the War on the Shore it's supposed to be set for July. It's always gone ahead in the past so I don't have any reason to believe it won't happen this season.

Nah not War on the Shore. it was a revised form of the NRLUS, where they had 6 magic weekend like weeks where all the teams played at one venue every week and it moved venues every week. Haven't heard anything for ages so probably not on but it was supposed to start July 4.

 

[deluded pom?]

Yeah, I know the one you mean but as you say it's all gone quiet on the western front.

 

[winnyason]

We will know in about 3 and a bit weeks Jim if it is to go ahead, with the gala(supposed) launch on july 4th. i find it interesting that wagon and now Koopu and in the amnrl there for bigger plans, i am guessing that Steve Mascord with annouce a delay to NRLUS, which in reality means cannot raise money for the project.

 

[winnyason]

July 4th is the launch date if it was to happen, who knows in 3 weeks we SHOULD finally have a answer.

now on nius twitter he says former bulldog reece blayney wil join fairfax eagles and wairangi koopu and awen guttenbeil will not play in the amnrl

 

[deluded pom?]

First time I've seen Blayney's name mentioned. Or Guttenbeil for that matter.

 

[Fairfax Eagles]

Reece arrived in Fairfax yesterday, will take part in his first training session with the Eagles tonight.

More signings possible in the coming week.....

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Gotta say I've never heard of him. But if he was from the Dogs, even in the lowe grades, he'd be a handy player at AMNRL level.

 

[deluded pom?]

The latest tweet has David Niu retracting the statement that Koopu and Guttenbeil will be joining the AMNRL in 2010.
