RAIDERS SIGN PAMATANGI
by (Press Release)
Source: www.raiders.com.au

The Canberra Raiders have secured Parramatta's Tony Pamatangi on a new two year deal, which will see him in the lime green until the end of 2008.

The talented New Zealand born player comes to the Raiders with two years of experience in the NSW Premier League, after stints with both the Eels and the Sydney Roosters.

Pamatangi said he is looking forward to joining the Raiders and getting an opportunity to develop his career, and move away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney life.

"I'm ready to move to the Raiders next year and hopefully I can work on my game and become a better player," Pamatangi said. "I'm also looking forward to living in Canberra, it's a bit quieter and somewhere where I think I can really see myself."

Pamatangi said he is excited about the prospect of joining a new club, and in particular getting acquainted with some new team mates.

"The Raiders have some great young players and I hope I can help add to this," he said. "It's always good to get to know some new teammates so I am really keen to get down there."

Raider's general manager Don Furner said Tony will be the type of player who will fit in at the Raiders, and said he looks forward to his arrival next season.

"Tony is a fine young player and we are very happy to have him on board for the next two years," Furner said. "The Raiders have some fine young talent on offer in our ranks, and we're sure that Tony can add to this."

I think last year's recruitment proved that our policy of signing 'PL' or juniors is a good strategy. I wouldn't criticise this move just yet, we'll probably see a few more signings like this over the coming weeks.

I'll have my money on Furner having enticed the bloke here on about $300K per season.

Hes one of those typical Kiwis. Plays center and backrow.

Here is what he can do.

The Next Marlins try was off a beautiful offload by 2nd rower Tony Pamatangi. In their own half the Marlins attacked the lions defence and with prop Thomas Ufi making several busts gave a smart offload to Pamatangi who in turn took on 2 defenders and popped a beautiful ball out the back to Centre Stu Heslop who ran 70 m to score outwide. Matthews misses the conversion, Marlins 22-12.

Schif perfected his goal kicking here anyone with talent will learn the same they might not be as good but they will learn

we have to let it and him go now

it's done he's gone let's look to the future not the past, let's build them up not compare, let's make them feel unique not ordinary

any one who sign's with us and gives 100% has got me 100%
