Out of these guys it appears that only Dane Gagai made the team to play against New Zealand.

Surprised Baptiste isn't in there, he's the best hooker in the U20's imo.

 

[Big Pete]

They seem to love that Cam King, missed the majority of the season yet gets a look in.

I thought Townsend would have played too many NRL games to qualify.

 

[isaiah]

I think we'll always be competitive in the 20's it's just about being able to manage the season better. Next year, they won't be so disrupted during the rep. season I imagine.

All those players you've listed have indeed graduated. Other players confirmed for the senior squad are Mitchell Frei, Jordan Kahu, Aaron Whitchurch and Lachlan Maranta. I'm unsure what Arthur Brown, Matt Smith, Jarrod Wallace and Daniel Wallace are doing either.

Current Squad Members who are still eligible...

Mboya Adams
Daniel Alvaro
Matthew Berwick
Caleb Binge
Chris Binge
BJ Burgess
Stephen Coombe
Cameron Cullen
Mitchell Frei
Louis Frisby
Bryce Hegarty
Jake Kelly
Jerome Leedy
Benn Malley
Lachlan Maranta
Waita Setu
Kurt Warden
Aaron Whitchurch

I expect to see Francis Molo (Prop), Kodi Nikorima (Halfback) and Brandon Lee (Backrow) join them next season.

have enough talent there to give it a good shake, any more signings, was there a jets colts forward signed before the season ended?

I liked the looks of Zachary Santo today for the Cowboys. Plenty of ticker.

Hope Woolf can steal him along with Pangai and Taumalolo.

Get one back from them for taking Tariq.

If he could steal Taumalolo I would jizz.

Grevs or Pangai would suffice.

f**k orf! Steal our coach and now want half our players, we ain't Manly you know!

Haven't heard anything mate. You're better off asking Hanc.

f**k orf! Steal our coach and now want half our players, we ain't Manly you know!

And hey we're not Canterbury. ;-)

It's no secret we've basically been your best feeder club over the past couple of years. It's time for your mob to repay us. Taumalolo would look so good in the maroon, blue and gold.

 

[Big Pete]

Looks like Waita Setu has joined Melbourne.

I will slap the shit out of you BP if anyone of them end up down there, especially Talolo!!!!!!!! You can have Pangai....................

 

[Big Pete]

On behalf of the Broncos I promise his career won't be jeopardised during his tenure at the club. We learnt from Prince.

In all seriousness, I hope Taumalolo carves out a huge career up in North Queensland and helps reward the Cowboys faithful with a premiership they richly deserve, under the proviso the Broncos also win one this decade as well. ;-)

josh seage is his name, played a grade for swifts in the local comp as a 17yo in 2010, played in the back row for jets colts in 2011 at over 100kg, footwork at the line is said to be good. the local paper, the QT ran an article in Sept, another one the titans missed out on. who handles their development, seriously?

 

[Smiley]

Caleb Binge has joined the Titans.

 

[Big Pete]

That's a bit of a shame.

I haven't seen him play but he seemed to have some wraps on him. I suppose we have some good props coming through so it shouldn't matter too much.

I wonder what this means for Chris?

Just missing Mandy Lui. Fairly sure he's a Wavell boy but I can't find anything concrete on him.

There's a few AIS boys as well in...

Rhett Webster - AIS Centre. He's also the captain.
Kodi Nikorima - AIS Five Eigth
Brandon Lee - AIS Prop/Second Row

I think that covers it.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

7. Louis Frisby

Doesnt play. Saw him doing athletics training at Nudgee college recently - looked like 400 training.

Always a ? about his age. Was on the front page of courier mail when he broke qld cross country u12 record by a couple of mins. He hasnt got any taller than he was when he was playing U12.

Did Billy ever play club rugby ? Yeah sure he went to Nudgee but played League for Albany Ck from U7 & then trf to Pine Rivers approx U13.

I think that covers it.

born 1993. younger brother of Dunamis. Played junior footy with Brothers, Aspley and Redcliffe in that order. Mandy did go to Wavell but he didnt stay to year 12. Always handy player but never liked the training.
