A few wyong Boys training with Roosters

[Guest]

It's a thread about Wyong juniors you red neck. Damon Goolagong has been mentioned as one of their most outstanding juniors who has come through their system from SG ball to NSW cup. Because Souths have signed him is irrelevant, I didn't start the thread about Wyong juniors and I didn't award Damon Goolagong with a Centurion award as the Best back and best junior, it's a matter of fact.

Like I said, shitforbrains, he's nothing special. Souths can have him.

I watched him play too, he's nothing special champ.

One bloke I am excited for is Nat Butcher. He chose to come to us rather than stay at Souffs, which is great because he is a real talent.

Good news if true FOSS. Cannot believe the arrogance of Souffs for passing up on him. Nat, whose father Blake also played lower grades for them, was their star junior captain from Jnr Bunnies, Matts & JF. Like Jason Clark all he wanted to do was wear the myrtle & green but they offered him peanuts.

Hopefully our benefit.

I hope we have Nat Butcher, but he is still under contract at $ouff$ so I would be surprised if they let him go.
He is apparently a Roosters fan even though his dad played for Souths.

He looks good.

Doesn't he. Massive motor in the kid, he just goes and goes.

Chook.

So which position does this Nat Butcher kid play?
And TDK, people do have a point in that you seem to bring a vermin angle into about 90% of your posts. What's the go with that?

Mate Souths have won the Title and have been the focus of discussion on this forum for three months, it's hard not to discuss something on this forum without an angle or six degrees of separation from Souths. However I do at times bait certain posters about Souths but that's not very difficult to do around this joint. All jokes aside, I find it fascinating that some posters are very insecure about an opposition sporting team, its a real worry.

Did someone mention Dragons?..I have an auto-alert for the key words 'Opposition Teams' and the Mighty 'Dragons'.

I'm insecure about the Sharks btw....They took our Spoon.

KB, it's my understanding Nat is on-board & I wouldn't at all be surprised if he captains the NYC because SoH will be playing 1st grade.

Mighty R - he's a Marcellin College kid (alongside Lachlan Lam) , plays lock & has a great work ethic. He made the 2014 Aust Schoolboys team & is touring with his future teammate Latrell Mitchell.

Looks a dead ringer for Merrin. Even has similar footwork at the line.

Thanks Gman.
Well there's 3 possible NRL players of the future. I've heard both Lam jnr and Latrell Mitchell mentioned as very promising young talents as well.

N what may prove a boon for Central Coast rugby league, three Wyong Roos players have joined the Sydney Roosters NRL squad for pre-season training.

Prop Magnus Stromquist, hooker Mitch Williams and back-rower Leivaha Pulu have all been rewarded for their strong showings during the 2014 NSW Cup season with a six week training run with the Roosters.

Wyong football manager, Matt Lavin says the call-up is a just reward for three players who made a mighty contribution to the Roos’ unlikely semi-finals appearance in 2014.


“We’ve now got a primary affiliation with the Roosters and they went through all of our players from this year and identified some players to do the summer training with them. Obviously that’s Mitch, Magnus and Leivaha,” Lavin says.

“They’ll train five days a week up until January.”

The trio has a total of zero NRL games between then, but Lavin confident that they all have the potential to play first grade.

“At the end of the day all they need an opportunity and I’m sure if they get an opportunity they’ll take it with both hands,” he says.

“You wouldn’t get two harder working players than Mitch and Magnus, their work ethic and professionalism is second to none.

“Levihaha a big boy who runs a really good line.

“He was with us last year and was probably carrying 10 to 15 kilos.

“He went over to France at the end of 2013, played in the French comp and came back 10 kilos lighter which really helped his footy. He had a great season this year.”


While nothing appears concrete yet, all three players could potentially prove valuable additions to a Roosters squad whose depth is likely to be tested in coming years, with nine first graders coming off contract in 2015.

Williams could prove particularly useful, with the tri-colours lacking a specialist back-up hooker following Heath L’estrange’s move to St George Illawarra. Earlier this year former Test prop Mark O’ Meley told RLW he was surprised that Stromquist, a former Manly NYC player, had not been picked up by an NRL club.

“He reminds me a little of Aidan Tolman from the Dogs,” O’Meley said back in September.

“He has a big motor, plays big minutes and he can really take some punishment.”
