Another fullback, this time hailing from Inala, Fanitesi was recently named in the Australian Under-15 Schoolboys Rugby League side.
“I was pretty honoured and privileged,” the Year 10 student said.

Maybe I missed something or he repeated year 10?

I am on the side of not getting carried away here every youngster showing promise is apparently an instant superstar to some I hate expectations on players like that, especially when they haven't even left school. Seems a bit of conflicting information as to how old he actually is though, perhaps it was just a typo on their part?

*looks at date* I stand corrected.

It's ok mate tbh I probably should have posted originally it was from 2016.

Just so everyone knows Pearson did get re signed on a 1 year deal.

Good to hear.
I think he has a lot to offer.

 

[BroncsFan]

goes real good, he is well developed physically already which is the only concern for me.

As in men against boys in the juniors but may not kick on??

We need a roster spreadsheet with approx/estimated values...Pearce and Napa talks but we probably have no money?

Thats 20 players to 7.3M. Id shuffle some of the value around there but most would be ball park.
Average the reaming 5 on 120K.

We would have approx 1.38M left in the bank.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Kahu?

 

[007]

Kahu 275-300ish?

 

[Taylor1921]

**** cannot wait for Thaiday to retire, he's been a great legend but **** me that's a waste of 500k

Plenty of cap space left which is why we will see a couple roster movements before March.

Where are these figures from? IIRC Thaiday's latest contract is not much at all under the cap, mostly TPA's. And Gillett and McGuire have been upgraded since those values. Sims is on more than that next year because the Knights were only subsidising 2017. Again, all just off the top of my head, so I'm not 100%.

30 man squad next season... Minimum contract is $100k now...

White said we have ‘some’ room under the cap for an opportunity should one come along, as that is just good roster management practice, but we don’t have $1m+ for next season. That is ludicrous.

I was under the impression that the new cap value of 9.2 was for the first 25. The remaining 5 still had to receive minimum of 85k?

Broncos old off rivals for teen sensation
The Broncos have beaten off several rival clubs to re-sign teenage sensation Fanitesi Niu for the next three years.
Still only 17, Niu is a pacy fullback who has been earmarked for the Broncos’ fulltime squad in 2019.
The youngster hails from Marsden State High School - whose graduates include superstars Cameron Smith and Israel Folau.

These figures are just the amounts I read in the media so it is all pure speculation. It is just an approximation and probably a pretty poor one at that.
