Boyd cordner is one of the best young talents I have seen.

Thats Scots College fullback is certainly a top prospect. I think we might have signed the Scots centre who is also very good, does anyone know whether we have signed him?

Dane Atkinson is the Scots centre you're talking about. We've signed him.

New signings to the NYC Squad:

Mark Kheirallah - South Sydney NYC
Rhys Lenarduzzi - Shellharbour NSW Cup
Jay Chatfield - West Lions
Lain Windley - Gold Coast Titans SG Ball

Retained from Newtown SG Ball:

Adam Brent
Lepuha Paseka
Jeremiah Tia Tia
Jared Cherrington
Nick Eshman

I can also confirm Cheyse Blair, Boyd Cordner, Ryan Williamson and JP Du Plessis are in the fulltime squad. Jacob Miller, John Leiataua and Joseph Leilua are training with the NRL squad in the off-season.

[TheLoneRooster]

footy, is Jared Cherrington related to Anthony Cherrington?

Oh, and that is a MASSIVE shame about Dane Cordner - very disappointing news that he won't be a Rooster.

[Guest]

No Jared Cherrington is no relation to Anthony.

[TheLoneRooster]

No Jared Cherrington is no relation to Anthony.

Thanks mate.
What a coincidence though as that surname is hardly common.

[Kingbilly]

if we want a good young fullback, they dont come much better than charlie wakim in the CAS comp. Top class player and way better than the cranbrook kid.

As for the other waverley kid, I think it is wallace btw - he is a great player - plays prop in union but is built more for league. Aside from him they dont really have anyother expceptional forwards that would be suited to league from memory.

Its about time we agreed on something
I was trying to remember how the Cranbrook boy played, but couldn't just remembered he was a good organiser. Wakim is very good.

Are at Waverley or ex Waverley ?

[Guest]

the kid i was talking about is definately Sam Talakai.

Luke Towers is with us next year as well. Dylan Sharp is with Newtown.

I think it's beginning to look something like this:

NRL

1. Anthony Minichiello
2. Sam Perrett
3. Mitch Aubusson
4. Phil Graham
5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
6. Todd Carney
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Frank Paul-Nuusuala
9. Jake Friend
10. Jason Ryles
11. Willie Mason
12. Nate Myles
13. Braith Anasta (c)

14. Lopini Paea
15. Anthony Cherrington
16. Jared Wearea-Hargreaves
17. James Aubusson

That team looks just about right. I can see Brian Smith giving Shaun Kenny-Dowall a chance as it's his first chance to work with him and hopefully he can give the kid confidence because when he is on his game, I wouldn't swap him for anybody else. Jared Wearea-Hargreaves is a welcome addition to the pack and will add a bit of spice. James Aubusson will get the bench spot ahead of Ben Jones because he is a specialist hooker. The team looks pretty strong across the bored. Braith Anasta will play a very big part in this side. If he is successful at lock, it will allow the halves to stick together instead of resorting Anasta back to five-eighth and Carney to another position.


Newtown Jets

1. Luke Towers
2. Steve Naughton
3. Kane Linnett
4. Sonny Tuigamala
5. Sisa Waqa
6. Nick Kouparitsis (c)
7. Tavite Vatuvei
8. Ray Moujalli
9. Luke Letele
10. Martin Kennedy
11. Mose Masoe
12. Daniel Conn
13. Tom Symonds

14. Khalid Deeb
15. Aiden Guerra
16. Dylan Sharp
17. Brad Takairangi

This is a really young side but there is a lot of potential in this team. A lot of them will get a chance in the top grade and some will stay there during the year for extended stints through injury or otherwise. I expect Mose Masoe, Martin Kennedy, Daniel Conn and Tom Symonds to step up into first grade regularly. The team looks pretty solid overall but are desperately lacking good halves. Luke Towers will push hard for a gig in the NRL at some stage during the year.


Toyota Cup

1. Hughie Stanley
2. JP Du Plessis
3. Ryan Williamson
4. Cheyse Blair
5. Fine Moeakiola
6. Ben Jones
7. Jacob Miller
8. Isaac Maliota
9. Samuel Brunton (c)
10. Samson Manu'a
11. John Leiataua
12. Joseph Leilua
13. Boyd Cordner

14. Tom Pelo
15. Olireti Samuelu
16. Ethan Lowe
17. Jerome Leolahi

Great team on paper but whether it is shown on the field is another story. Some of these boys will play NRL during the year if there are any injuries. John Leiataua is with fulltime so I expect he will start and that's why Jerome Leolahi has gone back to the bench. Our backrow are all with the full-time squad at least for the off-season and our backs are lightning. You've got the likes of Williamson, Blair, Moeakiola, Stanley and Du Plessis who can cause massive headaches for the opposition and topped off by class halves in Jacob Miller and Benny Jones. Awesome team and should do very well.

Who is this leiataua bloke - have i missed something?? Where has he come from and is he any good - all of a sudden he is part of the firstgrade squad? any insights footy ive never heard of him

[Guest]

I was trying to remember how the Cranbrook boy played, but couldn't just remembered he was a good organiser. Wakim is very good.

Are at Waverley or ex Waverley ?

wakim is doing year 12 by pathways - year 12 over 2 years so still has another year to run at waverley. The only bit of the cranbrook kid i have seen is him getting smashed and he sat the rest of the game down - one of the best hits i have ever seen

[TheBigFella]

Dylan Sharp is with Newtown.



that's great news to my ears!!!! I reckon this bloke will be great when he comes through.. very much a cross between Fitzy & Andrew ryan..

[Guest]

Happy that Sharp is staying!

Earl is either with Newtown or gone, and both Waqa's are gone.

Not sure if Vatuvei, Lutele, Andersen, Deeb or Moujalli will still be around though.

Newtown awarded Deeb & Moujalli awards the other night

Players' Player award
Ray Moujalli

Best and Fairest
Best Forward
Khalid Deeb

But I counter that with this....

Top Try Scorer
Sonny Tuigamala... Is that for or against???

He is from Parramatta's SG Ball squad this year. He is a great player but was injured for most of the SG Ball season. He is a second row/centre and is very strong on his upper body. A full off-season with the full-time squad and he'll be very handy for us next season. The NYC is shaping up as a great team with several players involved in full-time during the off-season. Exciting times ahead. I will be watching this NYC team with a lot of interest as a number of it's players can easily move into the NRL ranks in the next few years.
