Rookie Watch 2013 (NYC, NSW Cup, NRL)

[Poupou Escobar]

That's if Rugby hasn't punched him.

:shock:

yes the dogs have Robbie Kamoto listed on there player profile page for nyc
I see he played most of nyc this year and could of played sg ball
can anyone give me a rundown on him?
must be rated playing nyc a year early

Nearly our entire NYC team were playing a year or two early. That's what happens when all the good 20 year olds are tied up by other clubs.

also I've only seen Pauli Pauli play a few times but boy has he got a future big strong skillful etc

also your fullback from nyc has gone to manly forgotten his name

You mean Gagan? He's a winger.

But like most wingers he wants to play fullback because that's where the money is.

Kamoto is a stocky half who loves to run the ball, scored a few tries this year for us close to the line, he goes alright.

Are you talking about Jacob Gagan who went to Manly?

cheers man

yep jacob the one I was thinking of.


be good if we could get a run down of say the top 5-6 players from every side
alot of work but if every supporter writes a little about there team it would be an awesome reference...

 

[Jake the snake]

What positions does he play? How old is he?

2nd row/ lock / 3/4 very skillful and quick.

Ask Forty20 mate, he's good at it lol.

Thank you for all the names you guys are contributing! I will continue to update the original post with all of them, as I get around to compiling some information on each of them.

I am also happy to do to a top 5 per squad reference thread, just keep in mind that any tier/ranking lists are highly subjective. Naturally I will endeavour to be as neutral as possible but when there are limited positions available, someone will always feel that another player deserved a spot in the list. I may just end up including a notable omissions list so that their names are still on the radar

Once again, thanks to all of you for chipping in!

bulldogs: nyc

Adam Elliot -11/13

He added the teenager, who is contracted to the Bulldogs, has a number of qualities which make him a standout on the field.
"He is strong physically, has vision, can pass long and short distances, hits holes and has a great kicking game,"

Cheers mate, the OP should be updated very soon!

Edit: Updated

 

[Gronk]

This kid is a future star!

I hope you bump that thread when he's mowing the lawns full time. ;-)

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Still a rookie because of his limited nrl experience - let's hope POH has a break out year , he is still young for a forward and maybe Stuart could be the one that unlocks his potential

 

[Forty20]

A bit of a lazy update today adding Jnr Paulo to the NYC team and brief words on the Pewhairangi brothers and Brayden Wiliam.

Sizeable update to reflect some new information. As always, happy to field corrections or amendments!

 

[hindy111]

I saw POH in paara a few mths ago-Very very skinny for a forward-Or even a back.Id say he is another 12 mths away before he will fill out.I doubt he will make impact on first grade before 23

 

[Jake the snake]

Saw him last week .... Big boy. When he comes good look out.

 

[mackdadday]

Is Tepai Moeroa definitely signed up for the next few years?
