Who is Taniela Tuiaki?

 

[colonel_123]

Who is Taniela Tuiaki?

A young Tongan forward who Royce Simmons spotted while coaching Tonga.

He played premier league for Balmain/Ryde Eastwood last season.

He's TnT, he's dyn-o-mite!

 

[brook]

no real suprises in that squad

unlike the last few years I wouldn't expect too many players to break in from outside that group either - unless we have a real horror run with injuries (although I'll be hoping any of our halves except reynolds gets the job of covering benji when he's out)

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Saffy and Renyolds ????? no Chase????? no Moa????

Benjamin Jeffery

damn this kid must be good

If Ben Jeffery is not a surprise, ill just about give it away.

ok good point - I missed that one

the dudes a centre/winger right? gotta feel sorry for Wara in that case.

not at all suprised to see no Chase and Moa though - from what I saw last year (which admittedly isn't as much as I like) both have huge potential but neither struck me as being anywhere near ready for first grade yet.

 

[Tim Brasher]

Hes mainly a Fullback, who plays a bit on the Wing. He was the captain of Illawarra's SG Ball team and scored 18 tries in 11 games this season. Played Flegg towards the end of the season, mainly from the bench and scored a few tries. A Very good prospect

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Hmm, he must be good if he's gone straight from Flegg to the first grade team. Can't wait to watch him play.

 

[Barks]

Is he with the BRET or the West's premier league side?

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

BRET i imagine, as Wests don't want top players playing for them or somthing...

 

[westie]

Oh dear. Some one else do it for me please.

 

[Mighty Tiger]

Is he with the BRET or the West's premier league side?

I have no clue at the moment was told that will be arranged just before they take a break for Christmas
