What happened to the guy who had the same first and last name? Been hearing he was the next big thing for about 4 years. Never kicked on or gone elsewhere?

Pifeleti Pifeleti? Played a few NYC games and got injured. No idea where he is now. Was always bigger than everyone else in the juniors, but once he was playing against other big men in NYC he didn't seem to stand out as much. But was still quite young at the time too. We have so much depth in the props at all grades he would have struggled to get more than a bench spot in NYC.

yeah thats him, cheers thanks for that.

often see that though dont you, which is why its so refreshing to see a guy like Taniela Paeska who despite being the biggest dude in history still runs and tackles as hard as he can.

The boys give a pretty good account of themselves against the magpies on Saturday, good game to watch

No Tigers in either SOO U20 side.

QLD - http://www.qrl.com.au/news/2017/05/24/updated_queensland_u.html
 
You'd imagine Mikaele would have been in the QLD side if not injured. Posssibly pap for the blues if he was fit too, our other good ones are kiwis i think.

They certainly could have used Mikaele tonight. Lacked the size.

Wasn't Haas playing? He's got enough size to cover an entire forward pack!

Havent seen much of either but know theres big wraps on these two guys. Tautaiolefua is considered similar to Nofoaluma at the same age. Anyone seen much of Garzaniti, seems to have gone ok so far?

Is Daniel Roberts still at the club?

I haven't seen him at all but that's a shame. Was hoping to get a chance to see more of this guy. Big, goal kicking wingers are handy to have around.

No wrong guy. James is still here.
 
Kereti doesn't seem to have played for us this season. If he can't get into this weak team i wouldn't envisage him being much of a loss. Though odd the Roosters to be signing underperforming players.

No Tigers named in the NYC Team of the Year.

No surprise there. You'd think Mikaele will get player of the year, one of the few players to have played throughout most of the season, and played to a high level.
 
Wests Tigers NYC Holden Cup captain Daniel Peck has capped off a superb season by picking up two awards at the Club’s 2017 Presentation Night this evening.

In addition to being named the Club’s Holden Cup Player of the Year, Peck was also voted by teammates as the Holden Cup Players’ Player for season 2017.
