Has anyone seen much of these two. Are they any good. We really need some speed out wide.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Both are promising.

Seve was the stand out player for the schoolboy kangaroos in 2013. Sione Matiuatia was in the same team. The u/18s qld coach said he was the best young back he'd seen since Israel folau. Injury saw him only play 4 NYC games last year and he had a 6 week suspension after round 3 this year. Is playing nsw cup this week So is still held in high regard.

Heleta has come a long way. He would have been 4th choice center at the start of last year but got his chance after injuries to hoeter, Seve and milone and didn't look back. Very much in the Konrad hurrell mould, short stocky and extemely powerful. Is one of the first picked in the NZ junior teams.

Both are potential first graders, if we are out of finals running late in the year id expect at least one to get a run at first grade.

Thanks for the info.

With Heleta, Seve, Pene & Milone all coming along this year it is intereting times ahead

 

[Vic Mackey]

I was surprised both Seve and heleta weren't in the 9s squad. I suppose when the squad featured like 12 forwards we should have known how Taylor was going to play this year...

I haven't seen a whole nsw cup game this year however from the highlights/reports milone has looked great. I liked his left step in the 20s and it's still effective in nsw cup. I'm obviously not comparing them as players but it's similar to how gasnier used to beat his man.

Peni seemed to be going well before his broke his jaw too. Is he more of a winger though?

Even if these guys don't all come good it will be good to have them as backup as opposed to rubbish like Lulia and Rowe.

 

[gronkathon]

I think Peni prefers centre but would certainly be quick enough to play wing

Writing is on the wall for Lawrence. Even if we don't move him on before his contract is up, he is almost a dead cert to not be offered another contract with the kids coming through.

Its been said before but it was confirmed to me by a club official that the moltzen wont be re signed for next year and they are trying to offload Lawrence. Also said the club has already signed a couple players for next year but wouldnt tell me who or how many

Smart move. How many times have we heard x player has signed only to backflip before round 13?

Thanks scoop ! :lol:

Today on Fox Sports 1, commencing at 3pm we will be able to watch all 3 grades starting with the Holden Cup against the Cowboys. Then at 5pm we play the Wyong (rorters) in the NSW cup. 7.30pm we take on the Cowboys. We will be able to see how the up and comers are going or not!

 

[dumpy]

Had enough ball, but kicking and execution poor. Tried hard though. Could not control Cowboys No. 8 , Kikau who runs harder and straighter. 18 year old Bailey Sironen runs good lines and is a lot quicker than Curtis. Our side had half experience of the Cowboys and eventually lost 24-14. Have to be more ruthless and consistent.

Sorry mate, I don't lick the arse of the playing group to get my info, perhaps you can tell us who you were chock-a-block up this week and get us all up to speed? Or has Mayer figured out who you are?
