man there are some great up and coming names in this squad.
great to see the rapira bros named and who is this Mataika Vatuvei ?,, sounds familiar ,,

What age group are these guys in?

I've seen Isaac Luke play, i thought he was quite a good halfback.

 

[Iafeta]

As far as I'm aware Oz, Mataika Vatuvei is Manu's cousin and is a little halfback.

Some names of the future there; Davis, Fa'i (by the way, check out www.xtra.co.nz and League, the guy gives me a tingle the way he speaks about the Warriors - bench presses 175 KGs too!), Filipo, Manu, Nauuasuala, the Rapiras, and the speed merchant Vuna.

I'd be interested to know exactly which out of all these players are tied up to the Warriors, out of the above, I'm fairly sure all but Josh Davis is tied up to the Warriors.

 

[ozbash]

What age group are these guys in?

under 20, i think.

 

[Humphrey]

Anyone has any infomation on the Keebra Park High School players?

 

[BatiFan]

Junior Kiwis are U18 arent they? All these playesr played in the NPC U18 comp (bar the overseas based players).

 

[Martli]

Definately U18. If it were U20 then Simon Mannering and Manu Vatuvei would have been certainties....

 

[ozbash]

anyone heard the result from melbourne today ?

 

[carlnz]

they lost i think it was 42-24 or something

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Pretty disappointing.

 

[AuckMel]

They had Wayne Pearce's son on Fox after the game and he just said that, they expected the JK's to tire after 20 minutes, and that they did.

Anyone has any infomation on the Keebra Park High School players?

Contracted to Wests Tigers. Parata is a v/quick fullback and Teo is also very quick but plays lock. Apparently Teo is considered one of the bright prospects in QLD.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Dan O'Regan is 17...used to play wit him at Manurewa...awesome young prospect
