I don't know too much about NYC players but people on the forums are talking about Carlos Tuimavave but no one mentions dude who helped win 2011 NYC Final.
Is this guy a prospect for the Warriors?

im not sure about that. i just remember his running game. not sure what his general play kicking was like either, eg whether he was a long or accurate kicker.how well can he defend?
How big is he? I remember him looking super small out there
I rate Meads quite highly - looked to be a thinking player, and he'd developed a nice combination with Carlos. Meads is slightly bigger than Lino (couple of cms, couple of kgs), so I'm not sure why the preference for Mason Lino in the #7 this season, unless he's showing more in training, maybe. Of course, it could come down to the goal kicking.
Yeah I rate Meads over Lino but Lino is the better goal kicker, but on the subject of #7 I would rate Sam Cook who plays for the Northcote Tigers in the Fox cup over either of them.
Why would Lino be a good marketing opportunity, because he looks Asian? He'd be Samoan with Chinese bloodlines at a guess.Whole package imo. Meads had never been very impressive, and Lino can kick. Probably more a case of Lino taking his chance during injuries and being too good to drop. Not to mention that if he somehow kicks on, Lino could be a good marketing opportunity if you look at things a bit cynically...
Pretty much. Cynical but true. Not many Asian players in the NRL. I didn't know he was Samoan though, figured he was one Kiwi/Island parent and one Asian parent.
I'm only guessing but I'd be sure that he'll be a 1/4 Chinese at the most. That mix would be a hard sell to the Chinese community and I couldn't see it being an intentional target market for the Warriors really.
