Broncos NYC 2013

[Fozz]

Corey Oates is a huge unit

 

[Big Pete]

Need confirmation, but read on RLeague that Elijah Alick is just 17 years old.

Either our stocks are completely dire or he's a player of potential.

I had a look the other day BP and he turned 17 in March from memory. He looked promising with limited opportunity against Souths. Seemed to have good hands, taking a couple of passes one handed on the fly. I know it is a bad habit but just saying

 

[Big Pete]

His profile is up on the Broncos website.

No picture and little in the way of statistics but his date of birth is 28/3/96.

So definitely a player to keep an eye on.

Yep turned 17 this year, huge unit and pulled off a massive hit on Friday night. Went well in his debut.

Is there an injury update on Duncan Paia'aua. Word I heard is they will rush back into the 13 when full fit. Sounds like someone rates him highly.

 

[Big Pete]

Unless you're involved in junior Rugby League or have contacts inside the club, it's very difficult to get information on NYC players so unfortunately I can't help out.

Sounds like Paia'aua has a history of injuries. I hope we take our time with him and don't rush him in. He has plenty of time to impress and develop and the NYC side isn't that desperate for a half.

Duncan has been rushed back like always, and has been put in as number 6 for this weekend against the eels. Also players have been shuffled to accommodate this change.

1. Kodi Nikorima
2. Kurt Capewell
3. Jo Ofahengaue
4. Joseph Forrester
5. Elijah Alick
6. Duncan Paia'aua


In, Duncan

out, Paul Byrnes


They must have tickets on this lad because wow, he has had more chances this year then any other player. Would like to see who rates him that highly to be able to change the whole team to include him in a top 6 winning team. He has 3 years to show his worth and now they are going to send him straight back into it, and well what if he isn't up to it? then he will be left to dry and will be done.

 

[Brad Miers]

We will see in 10 hours or so

 

[Bucking Beads]

Shame we won't get to watch the under 20's game on tv today.

 

[Big Pete]

I don't know why Telstra doesn't run full highlights for the games.

Even SG Ball and Harold Matts has dedicated highlights on their media player. At best, NYC has a weekly wrap up with one highlight from each match...if that.

Yet, somehow this competition is prioritised over a general second grade competition. Boggles the mind really.

Broncos 22 - 4
44 minutes

 

[Splinter]

Interesting Broncos give up on signings and immediately Nikorima gets put to fullback from 5/8. Why????? Is this an option they are testing for next year?

[Splinter]

Soape Palau back from injury is good news

 

[Big Pete]

Yeah, I like Soape. Doesn't have a lot of speed from what I've seen but does have some really good foot-work and tends to beat a few defenders with each run.

 

[Brad Miers]

What injury did Stephen Coombe sustain and how long is he going to be out for?
