Toyota Cup team Vs Tigers

[Guest]

Hi footy,

Any news on what's happened to Grant Nelson? He was one of the regulars last year.

Also, where is Chris Thomas (Bulldogs), Olomanu Usini (Eels) and the 2 kids from the Gold Coast, Lain Windley & Danny White? They were all positive new signings but don't seem to have got a game yet.

Grant Nelson was released for the same reasons as Andrew Haines.

Chris Thomas and Olomanu Usini have yet to get a run and Lain Windley and Danny White have both been released in the off-season due to personal matters.

This is the info I could get:

Tom Pelo returned to the full training last week and was named on an extended bench last weekend but didn't play.

John Leiataua was released for disciplinary decisions.

Jerome Leolahi has a shoulder injury and is due back in Round 7-8. He will be great to have back once he is fit again and I've been told Brian Smith likes the look of him and was impressed with him in the Atherton trial. Also told Smith thinks he can make it into the NRL by next year.

Fine Moeakiola had a shoulder reconstruction at the end of last season and is due back in Round 4-5. Was told Brian Smith rates him a better prospect than Cheyse Blair.

Samson Manu'a has had knee surgery and is due back in a month or two. He will be good when fit as it seems we're short on front rowers with Boyd Strickland playing there.

Lepuha Paseka has been out injured for a while and will be back around Round 6-7. He will bolster the front row stocks as well and he has been impressing apparently.

Thanks footy.

I see Grant Nelson is playing for The Entrance in the Bundy Red Cup
