2011 Official Thread + Signing news

[hughzy]

yea i think he would become a really good foward coached by bellamy his a very big unit if he loses 15kg trains hard in the pre-season i rekon he would be in our top 17 man squad .im just waiting till they sign him hope they do.

[bula]

Well he'll have to prove himself first. He's been working since the Roosters and hopefully that's given him a taste of the real life.
I really hope he realises his potential at the club. This is his last shot I'd say.

*Updated, any errors let me know 

[Michael :P]

Just a few things re NYC

- Nutira will be too old
- Hampton will be the 7
- Morseau should be FB
- Kennar will only be 16 next year, the Storm will be very reluctant to play him the whole season
- and there will be a boatload of Kiwis coming across so the team could look like anything

[Freshy]

- and there will be a boatload of Kiwis coming across so the team could look like anything

Illegally?

Of course illegally, everything the Storm does is illegal, you should know that by now.

[hughzy]

waqa once he gets fully fit he will be in there.and lowrie wouldnt he be in there to.and thompson i thought we signed him to add experince to our 1st grade squad pack.and by the way we havent officialy signed waqa yet so i would take him of the gains list.

[Michael :P]

Anyone know if Ryan Pooley is still on our books.

[hughzy]

never heard of him

[sallymay]

we can rule out sam tagataese i am in sydney as u all know for the tigers storm game i decided to go to the sharkies game today

sam was playing and i met him after the game alone with the other titans

when sam came out i asked him if he was coming back to the storm and he said that he didnt think he would as he was pretty sure he was gonna resign with the titans

so we can rule him out unless he was lying to me

[Michael :P]

never heard of him

Still at School, Farrar agricultural to be precise. Australian schoolboy last year, carving up lately.

[Michael :P]

Thought Id post this here as this kids coming over to play SG Ball, may play some NYC but is only 16 next year.

Young Tigers easily the best
by COLIN WILLIAMS - Upper Hutt Leader Last updated 05:00 25/08/2010SharePrint Text Size  TRY TIME: Upper Hutt's Troy Mohr scores his club under-15 side's first try in their grand final win over Porirua in Wellington club league.Relevant offers

The side, on the back of a very successful season, romped home 42-16 and ran in nine tries which thrilled its supporters.

The young Tigers started out with Troy Mohr, their fullback and player of the day, crossing early as they raced to a 26-6 halftime lead.

Pride Petterson-Robati at loose forward gathered in a hat-trick of tries to take his season's tally to a towering 41 four-pointers.

Centre Jayden Stewart ran purposefully all game and crossed over twice while other tries went to Logan Henry, Jonathan Sina and Samuel Walsey.

The win, which followed an equally crushing 28-0 semifinal over Harbour City, brought a successful season to a satisfying end and delivered the only Wellington league grade title for 2010 to Whakatiki Park.

They played 12 games for three losses, amassing an impressive 492 points while conceding just 148
