Team List Auckland Vulcans vs Manly Sea Eagles

[Viking]

On a side note...Adam Henry looked much better in his 2nd game

Adam could be a perfect replacement for Perret, similar attributes and a huge work ethic, he doesn't have extreme pace but does a lot of the little things well and has a bit of class to make up for it. He was super nervous in the first game and was targeted for sure but has shown he's up to it in the second game. He rides his luck that boy, gets his shot through injury to others and hardly ever get's injured himself. Leilua is playing a lot better at the moment and that's helped Adam as well. Moga on the other hand, is getting burnt on D, he ain't the next Folau that the Roosters fans were hoping for.

I woudlnt count on it for mead or tony.
Tony is out with a knee injury ....and while top character/kid and good alround footballer but I can have too many ben henrys in one team.
He woldnt interest other NRL clubs enough for anything fulltime imo.

Well the warriors dont like meads ...clearly if they have been lino ahead of him so I doubt they would offer any money towards
They would probably stick with tuimavave, godinet as cover for the halves.
Will get a trial with an nrl club probably.

Is Meads out of favour, seems strange considering he won them the NYC GF in the dying minutes last year didn't he? He's getting regular starts with the Vulcans so I figured they were seeing how well he goes playing against men and with Lino being eligable for the juniors for 3 more years they can afford to give him game time with NYC team while Meads plays for the Vulcans until the business end of the season. I wouldn't be suprised to see Meads slot back in with Carlos in the next month or two unless Lino proves he can take them through to another GF.

Meads is definately worth a 2nd tier contract and I wouldn't be suprised if he's already on one now. A few of the older boys in last years side were on 2nd tier money, Henry Chang Ting was one of them. I think Louisi, Tuimavave and Taukeiaho would have been on 2nd tier contracts before officially joining the 1st grade squad. It wouldn't suprise me if all the rugby boys are too. Of course I have no idea if they actually are or not but it would take more than 10K for those top rugby prospects to switch sports I would've thought.

Well....they picked Lino instead of meads
as for him playing vulcans...thats because he was playing reserves at papakura.
they would of then pushed for him to play vulcans past two weeks

he talks a bit too much on the field....crap that is lol
I can see why it would rark up his teammates

You are probably right with some of those rugby players...
