OK I will make myself clearer. Manuoakafoa wasn't making first grade when we signed him and look how good he turned out to be. So this kid that we have 'signed' is probably still a good player, despite not playing first grade.

I got you. And I was just using an example to emphasise essentially the same point. Just because you can't get in a team ahead of Jennings & Kenny-Dowall, does not make you rubbish. Deserves to be given a chance before written off.

Lulia wasn't getting a game at Newcastle either until injuries kicked in

If it is him has he played enough 1st grade to get a work permit?

yes although it is reserve grade i have watched a fair few sl games to say nsw cup is not far off the standard you play over there.

What utter, utter nonsense.

Where's the rumour come from about Adam Henry,as far as I'm aware it's always been a New Zealand Warrior that's heading our way,who is getting released to make way for Tomkins

Re: 2014 Squad : Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:51 pm  

it came from about 5 or so pages back. another component of the rumour is a surname starting H, hence any NZ centre starting H. Also playing for an Aus semis playoff team got into the mix. Ben Henry and Konrad Hurrell being a wish too far I am happy with AH. He will add even more offloads to the team.

Curtis Naughton has officially been given his release. Link Shame to lose the lad, but he's going out there with his family rather than having been tapped up by an NRL club. Best of luck to him and Bradford have first refusal should he return to the UK

Good luck to the lad and I apologise to the lad for taking the wrong approach to this rumour a month ago.

Re: 2014 Squad : Wed Oct 02, 2013 2:27 pm  

Hope Franny is right saying the kid isn't worth any more than what he's on.

You can't chuck silly money at a lad with 1 first team game under his belt, but he did look to have a lot of potential

Re: 2014 Squad : Wed Oct 02, 2013 2:56 pm  

He does have a lot of potential but imagine the trouble in the camp if secret deals were done to some players and not others. The club must stick to their pay structure so every player feels they are all treated properly. And, he is emigrating with mum and has not been tapped up so good luck to him.
