Holden Cup 2015

[Big Pete]

Ever wanted to know all you ever needed to know about the future of the NRL? You've come to the right place. From now until the end of the 2015 season, I'm going to make sure this thread is absolutely filled to the brim with every single Holden Cup story I can find, match reviews, player analysis and all the behind the scenes stories that get lost in the shuffle.

It's just one more reason to check out BroncosHQ.

In the mean time, I thought it'd be worth mentioning the best NYC resource of the web: NYC Database.com

NYC DATABASE « Holden Cup stats and information

This site is an amazing resource filled with detailed stats, match reports, news and player history. It's where I've drawn a lot of my info for those 2014 squad lists I've been posting in the 2014 thread and is the only dedicated website I know of that keeps track of these - especially since the ownership of RLeague switched hands.

I was going to wait awhile before posting this so I could put together a comprehensive 2015 Player Movements guide but there's been a bit of news as of late that's worth posting.

Former NYC Premiership Winning coach, Todd Payten will coach the Cowboys NYC side in 2015. It's going to be a very interesting move especially since the Cowboys have a lot of good young talent coming through like Cooper Bambling, Regan Grieve & Coen Hess among others.

However, of interest to some - Brett Kimmorley has been announced as the 2015 NYC coach of the West Tigers. Tigers tend to have one of the better junior nurseries so it'll be interesting to see if Brett has what it takes as a coach.

Parramatta have appointed Steven Hales as their Under 20s coach for 2015.

It's a promotion for Hales who was the assistant coach this year and also worked as an assistant at North Sydney prior.

Queensland Emerging Under 18 Squad 2015

Connor Cox - Fullback - Unsigned
Keanu Dawson - Second Row - Titans
Mitchell Dunn - Halfback - Cowboys
Keegan Hipgrave - Prop - Broncos
Tristian Hope - Hooker - Broncos
Lachlan Lanskey - Backrow - Broncos
Bernard Lewis - Fullback - Roosters
Ben Marschke - Hooker - Roosters
Michael Molo - Lock - Broncos
Hayden O'Hara - Fullback - ???
Keenan Palasia - Backrow - Broncos
Kaylyn Ponga - Fullback - Cowboys
Hiale Roycraft - Fullback - Broncos

Syd Smith - Backrow - Broncos
Jaydn Sua - Backrow/Centre - Broncos
Justin Timu - Backrow - Roosters
Nathan Traill - Fullback - Cowboys
Enari Tuala - Centre - Cowboys
Keenan Yorston - Centre - Sharks

Another google search so I wouldn't take all of them to the bank.

Quietly confident that Lanskey is apart of the Broncos, but that's based on him being apart of the Devils and shown pictured with Hancock and another Broncos recruitment officer.

O'Hara is the East Tigers MM Fullback and I have no idea who he's affiliated with.

UPDATE Confirmation that Lachlan Lanskey is at the Broncos

It’s the right move to Gympie | Gympie Times
