C'mon Humphrey, they have only just removed the references
to NJC and Bartercard "coming soon". You expect them to make
an announcement AND name a team. You have some serious
learning to do on the mysteries of New Zealand Rugby League
my son.

Written by: NZRL Media

A New Zealand 'A' (NZA) team selected from the Bartercard Cup will play New South Wales Country (NSWC) early in July.

NZA represents the best of New Zealand's domestic talent and be up against a representative side selected from the best of the Australia's regional competitions.

NZRL have appointed Canterbury Bulls (current Bartercard Cup champions) Head Coach, Phil Prescott as coach of NZA.

Prescott will head a team of selectors that includes RLF High Performance Director Duane Mann and former NZA Coach Trevor McLeod.

An Auckland representative side Coached by ARL Coaching and Development Manager Stan Martin will play NSWC the week prior.

NZRL will allow players selected for NZA to be considered for Auckland also ensuring that both teams will be full strength.

NSWC will be touring with a NSWC Under 18 Team who will play curtain raisers against Auckland U18 and Wellington U18.

With Wellington the reigning NJC Kiwi Cup (U18) champions and Auckland the other Kiwi Cup finalist, the very best of New Zealand's age group talent will also be on display.

The NZA game is on Sunday 4 July 2004, 2.30pm at North Harbour Stadium, Albany.

Rapt to see Sam Wallace and Frank Paul in the side. Very, very good young
blokes. I am scratching my head with some of the others though. No offence
to anyone who has been selected but, buga me, I reckon I could pick a team
out of Fox and Sharman that would beat this team fairly easily.

Who were the selectors ?

Skinner

 

[Skinner]

Unbelievable - Shannon Stowers has withdrawn due to Warriors
duty - Jason Duff is in. Now, absolutely no offence to Duffer (coz
he happens to be a top bloke) but, while at one time, a good few
years ago, he was one of the best props around, he is...well, old
and slow and has great difficulty breaking the line.

The mind absolutely boggles - does this really show the lack of
good, young, front rowers we have in this country...........

Skinner :roll:

 

[Dirty Hoe]

i agree skinner....jason needs to get back behind the bar at northcote, he could pour a purlieu of a beer :lol:

[carlnz]

Thats a FU*KEN strong U18 Wellington team

 

[AliN]

Yes I reckon they'll go well and absolutely thump their opponents..

 

[carlnz]

After watching Auckland side crush NSW U18 Country, i honestly think wellington will score 40 points +!!! It seamed they were scared to tackle the players that ran hard and straight...could be wrong but I deffently cant see Wellington losing

 

[Skinner]

i agree skinner....jason needs to get back behind the bar at northcote, he could pour a purlieu of a beer :lol:

Not wrong there Hoe, not wrong :lol: :lol:

 

[damo72]

How good is that Josh Davis as he is heading to the Eels next season? And secondly is there any chance of getting his stats from anywhere or anyone?
Thanks for your time

 

[carlnz]

He is pretty good, in fact he scored a try yesterday in the 28-14 win for Welington U18's over Parramatta U17's.

I think it might of been an 18's or 17's side for Wellington...will find out the rest of the results of their tour for you

 

[damo72]

That would be great as we are all aware of, in the centres is one of the areas we are struggling in

 

[carlnz]

It was Wellington U17's that played against Parramatta U17's
