Jason Baiteiri is Tas Baiteiri's son and Cam Speechly is Michael's nephew.

not sure about the others.

Michael Toevai played for Patrician Brothers Blacktown with Tim Robinson, Joey Mataele and James Buhrer. Not sure that Francis is any relation of "Inga the Winger" but could be a distant relation. I've a feeling he is from either Norths or Penrith.

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Played with both of those blokes in junior footy.

Speech at Guildford Owls in Under 7's - Under 11's and

Baiteri at Hills Bulls in Under 12's and Under 13's.
Jason used to be a real tubby lil kid, now he's the perfect build.

Its great to see blokes you play with in the juniors, really kick on. Should be interesting to see how the bolded players perform. I'm really expecting big things out of Boo (Speechley) especially, and also Jason Baiteri.
