As always, you've managed to back up your claim with style! I now see it from a different point of view, however I will continue to say 'O for Awesome!' albeit now knowing that it doesn't hold as much value... Just like when I found out Santa wasn't real and the Easter Bunny was made up. That was a bad year for me last year, I was devistated when I found out.

Yikes. With the exception of Clayton Friend's boy and young Inu, (and some of the coaching staff), I don't recognise any of those names.
Haha, yeah, it's a far less enjoyable TV moment knowing that we had it wrong all along, eh!
And what's this "Santa isn't real" nonsense? Somebody's gonna get a ban real bad!
He'd be about the size of Krisnan if not a little bigger. Although he's half Samoan, he's always played for the Maori sides and speaks the language fluently. He's played centre and second row mostly until they switched him to a full time 6 this year and he's made a good go of it. I heard that Manly had a look at him last year and told him he'd have to work on his fitness. I haven't seen the latest Superleague, is he signed anywhere?
I've always been impressed with Maori Rugby League, they run well-organised tournaments up and down the country and the kids play with real passion. A lot of Ben Henry's development has come through their rep teams. I'd love to see a national Samoan 18s or Tongan 18s side run against the development and NZ Maori squads.
There's two different viewpoints on the Warriors signing of kids. We're all pleased that they give the kids a run but I think they try to get them all and it leaves some kids high and dry who could've made a go of it overseas. There's also some kids that would only improve if they were out of their comfort zone and there's plenty of signed kids that don't attend their training sessions.
Not that I can tell. It says that he was with Manly for 2007 then doesn't say much at all after that about his future, just talks about him being a TeAtatu boy since he was 4 and he supports Melbourne. They've got him at 105kg and 177cms... which doesn't seem right to me, he'd be a fat little ball. It must be a typo for 187 or 197 maybe? No thats too tall.
the filipina family is massive his old man has had three or four wives and something like 30 kids olsen being one of the oldest
187cm would be right. I think Manly would've been just looking, I'm suprised he hasn't been picked up but he's an example of what I mentioned in a previous post. If he goes the Warriors, he goes nowhere. It would take a move out of his comfort zone where he isn't the big fish in a small pond, to take his game to another level. He might prefer center but there's no shortage of better centers at the Warriors and I don't really see him in the second row either or with the defensive game to play lock so 6 will be where he makes his mark if he wants to.
