I agree with you, I just think it'll play out as I stated unless there is a directive from the club to do otherwise. It would be difficult in my opinion to manage playing Flegg alongside going to school in Christchurch.
Wth ..He must of been breastfeed Weetbix & Taro as a baby!? Lol. Gosh damn giant 16 year old.

Ahh, This is all I wanted to know. Which team he was eligible to keep playing for. Thank u bro.
He probably skips ball next year & goes straight into Flegg similarly to what happened with Salalilo this year. He should debut by 27 alongside of Mikaele probably coming off the bench. Lemana will be competing with Tuaupiki for the fullback spot in 28. Although Lemana is younger than Pasikala his game is futher ahead of where Pasikala is.

Positional switch after previously playing in the mid field. While it would be great if he was playing Flegg, playing in a competitive 1st XV competition won't do him any harm & the combinations in the team will help St Thomas' attempt at a 3 peat at National SS league tournament later in the year

The New Zealand Warriors have kicked a massive goal, striking a deal with a revered rugby league nursery in Queensland that could see future stars cross the Tasman instead of joining the Broncos, Titans or Dolphins.
In a landmark partnership, the Warriors and Logan City Council will set up a training academy and community program in the City of Logan.
Logan, in South East Queensland, has produced some of the game’s greatest NRL players including Cameron Smith, Josh Papalii, Corey Parker, Israel Folau, and Lote Tuqiri.
Warriors CEO Cameron George has struck the deal after 12 months of talks with Logan City Council, which has led to the establishment of a ‘home away from home’ for the New Zealand NRL club.
The academy will offer an elite training and talent identification program, as well as a community program to help young people connect with sport and career opportunities outside of rugby league.
Mayor Jon Raven said the league world would have its eyes on Logan as the Warriors set up their new “home-away-from-home” base at the Logan Metro Sports Park in Browns Plains.

With the combination of Logan City’s significant Pasifika population and community and the Warriors rich Pasifika heritage, the partnership has the power to change lives.
“So many league legends have come from Logan and we’re thrilled to welcome the Warriors to our city to nurture more NRL stars of the future,” Mayor Raven said.
“Logan is the leading rugby league nursery in the nation and has one of the largest populations of people of New Zealand and Pacific Island descent outside of Auckland.

“The Warriors are known for their strong community connections and supporting development opportunities for young people, which are values we love here in Logan – the youngest, most diverse and fastest growing city in Queensland.”
Logan City Council will provide the Warriors with access to facilities such as fields and office space.
The program will work directly with local rugby league clubs, supporting local coaches and players with a direct connection to an NRL team, and building the game in Logan.
George said the Warriors would be employing permanent staff in Logan to work closely with the community.

“As a club, we focus on the person first and foremost. It’s not just about footy – it’s about providing opportunities to all young people so they can reach their potential,” he said.
“Our elite academy for boys and girls in Logan will provide a direct pathway to the New Zealand Warriors NRL and NRLW teams.
“Through the community program we’ll also be offering come-and-try days, school visits and talent identification.”
Local sponsor of the Warriors and Ausbuild Managing Director Matt Bell said the partnership would provide career opportunities for young people.
“Sport can be a great way to make connections with the community and find employment opportunities, including apprenticeships and jobs,” he said.
“Ausbuild has a history of working with clubs to build pathways for young people and we’re excited to join with the Warriors and Logan City Council.”
Logan City Council will host a community day when the full Warriors squad trains at the Logan Metro Sports Park in Browns Plains ahead of their game against the Gold Coast Titans on Friday, August 22.

The 5 Kelston boys that played in the Matt’s final all made the NZ schoolboys side. All a year or two younger too. Hinkley Ioka was the best half there IMO and got finals MVP. Bishop and Tyson were unlucky to miss out probably. St Thomas and Rotorua were a touch off the standard of the top 3 teams.
Kelston were the youngest and probably one of the smallest teams there but had 10 Warriors and 2 Bulldogs boys from Matt’s squads. St Paul’s had 4 SG Ball and 3 Matt’s boys. Games are on the NZRL YouTube account.

Some are unsigned, and the other prop is with the bulldogs. That’s pretty incredible scouting for our pathways.2025 National Secondary Schools Champions Crowned - New Zealand Rugby League
