He re-signed untill end of 2011, i read it on roosters website but can't find it anymore??

It is linked on the first page of this thread.

He is here until 2011.

The only remaining off-contract players this year are Smith Samau, Sonny Tuigamala, Riley Brown, Tu'u Maori, Matthew Hall, Rohan Ahern, and the graduating NYC players (Luke Towers, Mark Talanoa, Sandor Earl, Ben Murray, Robbie Williams, Valeni Tia Tia).

thanks for clearing that up guys

No worries mate.

I would love to know any updates with the situation on Luke Towers and Sandor Earl. They are the NYC kids that will be too old for it next year, and both look ready for first grade.

I really hope we never have to see Mark Talanoa or most of the other graduating players - none look anywhere near first grade standard, and if we have to resort to using them next year, we are definitely in trouble.

Kane Linnett is definitely one of the better graduating players from the comp - he is a centre too. 18 tries, 19 linebreaks in 23 games. Only centre better than him is Junior Vaivai on Souths, and maybe Siuatonga Likiliki on Warriors is good too.

That Suiatonga Likiliki is a great player. Very, very strong with ball in hand and can dent opposition defences like only a few can.

Well for try-scoring this season, the best centres have been Taiaolo Vaivai (Souths - 26 in 20 games), Linnett (Dragons - 18 in 24 games), Davey (Manly - 17 in 15 games) and Low (Raiders - 14 in 20 games).

But in terms of sheer devastation, Likiliki (Warriors) only has 9 tries in 23 games but racked up 131 tackle breaks, while Pangai (Cowboys) similar scored only 9 tries in 24 games, but managed 116 tackle breaks. Byron Fruean (Knights) is another, spent the majority of the season at centre (15 games to be exact, played 6 games at hooker though, and 3 off the bench), only scored 12 tries, but racked up a monstrous 157 tackle breaks in 24 games.

The issue with those last four in particular, is their lack of genuine pace. All are big and powerful, thus dominating NYC, but in first grade size isn't everything. Vaivai was the best because he broke loads of tackles, but also scored long-range tries too, due to sheer pace.
