Juniors

[kingdamo]

Warriors win 35-6.

 

[Lox]

They should have moved up into 3rd sport on the ladder...

 

[MKEB...]

They are temporarily 2nd.

Geez that Kevin Locke has some talent.
Also, does Steve Rapira have any other hit in his repertoire that isn't forceful? Just keep tackling like that mate.

 

[blain]

yeah, man rapira was hitting like a truck and running very hard. great to see!!

 

[Blake]

Rapira will be a star.

 

[NZ Warrior]

Dump Sam, Go Steve!!!

f**k the Juniors are exciting. They are going to be hard to beat from here on in.

 

[Rich102]

Great game from the juniors. I prefer O'Regan at 5/8, he controls the game better from there.
All their props play well and Locke is a star in the making.
Mara is great off the bench.
Go the juniors!

 

[ozbash]

leeson ah mau had a huge game , bye bye evarn..

 

[PASSION]

Heard that two or more forwards U20's have had offers with the cowboys. And good on them if they go. Alot of protential - warriors are running out of room. Alot of quality players but not enough places. Good luck to the boys.

Anyone else suspect Ivan is keeping Packer and Fai in the U21s to make sure we kick arse there?

I think he is, as they have to have played a certain amount of matches in Toyota cup to be eligible for the finals.

 

[hitman82]

is there a cash prize for winning the Toyota Cup? It wouldn't surprise me if our management has realised we are a very good shot at the junior title, and has juggled our roster accordingly.

Any word on who those 2 or more may be?
We are definitely rich with forward talent though, and I couldn't blame any of the guys if they headed off for good money elsewhere.

Steve Rapira is the MAN!!

Hits hard, runs hard. Keep up that style of play Steve and you could be replacing your brother pretty soon.

It makes sense especially in Packer's case, he makes a huge difference to the U21 side while in first grade there's not much between him, Wiki, Tuimavave and Rapira. Same could probably be said of Fai now Ropati seems to have got his mojo back.

 

[Stalefish]

Unfortunately Steve Rapira's off to the Cowboys for a couple of seasons

 

[MKEB...]

He is one bugger I would have love to have kept.

Though we still have Fai, Matulino, Purcell and Jones. I guess we had to lose one or two.

 

[Stalefish]

Purcell's gonna end up another Lauaki unless he learns to start playing with his head

 

[MKEB...]

You are right there, he did look the goods though for the junior Kiwi's at the caketin though.

 

[blain]

would have been nice to keep rapira, but you cant keep them all.
