Juniors - Pathways General Discussion

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Great to see so many highly touted juniors stick with us. A few that I couldn’t find in any lists (but may have missed during my reading)

Anyone got goss on either; Tom Freebairn or Luke Knight?

Additionally, anyone know if the Saukuru’s are all related by any chance. We got Apisalome (top30), Livai (KOE), Livai (different one? Flegg), Solomone (SG-Wests), Joey (coach - SG Wests)

 

[Buttface]

There is some one on here that has the low down on the Saukuru’s. I remember a while back someone saying they were all related except for one of the Livai’s and that he was from a different family but the others related. I think that is how it went.

 

[TigersFan101]

I think lomi and solo are brothers, Joey is their dad and Lovato isn’t related from memory

The Livai listed in KOE and Flegg is the same person, he’s training with both teams.
But there is two Livai’s lol, one’s in Laurie Daley Cup.

There’s:
Apisalome (Lomi)
Livai
Solomone (Solo)
Livai

The youngest, Livai, is in Laurie Daley Cup and is Lomi and Solo’s younger brother.

Joey is their Dad, who coaches SG Ball.

The Livai that plays in KOE and Flegg is not their brother.
Not sure of relation, I assume cousin.

Regarding Freebairn and Knight, if they weren’t listed in today’s teams, they’re probably not with us anymore.

Do you know what happened with Tom Freebairn?

 

[KingRobbie]

No idea, but if he wasn’t named in the teams listed today he’s probably not with us.

Might’ve gone the Oliver Clark route and retired after a few first grade games to pursue a normal career.

Good luck to him. Honest footy player, it can’t work out for them all.

I read through the Wests SG and HM sides and both are filled with very talented players. It seems WTs has it right with engagement in the Campbelltown/Macarthur regions. I am hoping for a good performance from both Balmain and Wests this year.

Not sure on their SG Ball and Laurie Daley Cup results, but Wests Harold Matts and Andrew Johns Cup both won yesterday.

Karnib, Large, etc. played in the Matts game.

All lower grade squads should be announced by the club early in the week coming.

The retention of our quality juniors has been outstanding, with almost all notable talent staying with the club for 2023.

The Wests teams have their last trial games on Saturday against Cronulla and Canberra in Mittagong.

Will most likely be heading out to those games, so will have some more info for you all.

Some photos on this Facebook page from yesterday’s games:

Ignore. I was thinking of Oliver Lawry.

I note Balmain are playing trials against Souths on Saturday at Hefron Park.

Anyone know where Wests are trialing this weekend ?

I know with Dotoi in particular, the club really did their best to try to keep him as part of the system.
Wasn’t for lack of trying.

Apart from Hill and Dotoi though, the retention of juniors has been outstanding.

Femi Sanya, UK import = gone ?
