What can you tell me about him ?? Saw him on losses when they do recruiting report at that particular year . Thought I read he was an Australian schoolboy ??? What position does he play etc Thanks Smeg
 
Backrow. Good offloading game. Can be inconsistant at critical times. Long term prospect as he will most likely be a late bloomer if he sticks with the game.
 
**Windsor Wolves Vs Balmain Ryde-Eastwood Tigers**
Windsor Sports Complex, Saturday, March 19
Kick-off: **6.00pm**
Referee: David Munro
**Broadcast:** Hawkesbury Radio 89.9FM

**Summary:**

Both of these sides were two of the best in the 2010 season yet come fulltime in this one, someone faces the prospect of being 0-2 and already on the back foot in their 2011 campaign. The Wolves looked a shadow of the side that made it all the way to the Grand Final last season going down to a much improved Centurions last week while the Tigers were far from disgraced against a red hot Bulldogs line up.

The halves combination of Walker and Taumata is a new one and that was evident during last week’s match but they should have benefited greatly from the outing and an improved performance during the Wolves first home game of the year is to be expected while the Tigers will be without halfback Nathan Waters for a few weeks after he suffered an injury in Round One action, however former Rabbitoh and Knight, George Ndaira was impressive off the bench for the Tigers on debut and should prove an adequate understudy during Waters absence.

**Game Breaker**:

Sandor Earl – One of the NSW Cup top tryscorers in 2010, Earl makes his first appearance for the Wolves in 2011 as Panthers Coach Matt Elliott will no doubt be hoping he can recapture the zest for four pointers that saw him hit the headlines in the NRL late last year. Opposing a smaller winger in Sam Latu here, don’t be surprised to see the Wolves take to the air in search of tries, and Earl may be their number one target.

**Prediction**:

While the Wolves had the wood on the Tigers in the 2010 season, their pre-season form has been indifferent and based on last week’s performance I think we will see the best of them in a few rounds time. Based on that, expect the Tigers to roar, but the Wolves to be better.
 
Full Time at Brookvale Oval
Auckland Vulcans 26 - Many Sea Eagles 14
Vulcans now have 2 away wins , and with their massive forwards will be very hard to beat at MT Smart….Could be the dark horse, but really Manly have nothing by the sound of things
 
It was a really tough game. Obviously there were big changes to last weeks side through injury and call ups to the NRL squad and reserve.

With Ndaira called up as a shadow NRL player we ended up with a halves combo of Farlow and Meaney. They handled themselves ok with Mullaney also chiming in alot particularly in the second stanza. We did see the return of Flanagan though and he played the 80 but seemed a little underdone.

The starting props of Pearn and Tovo were beasts all game and they never stopped.

Matt Ryan was lost for a period early to a blatant swinging arm from Weston in front of the touchie but, as is the case with most games in the Boondocks the calls did not go against the home side often.

Latu was a real leading voice on the park and tried hard to motivate his side.

With 3 to go Mullaney had a penalty attempt to get BRET into the lead but miised and failed to get the ball dead and from the ensuing set Windsor got downfield and earned a penalty of their own just next to the sticks and that was the game.

Alot of missed opportunities and poor boor control. Even with the troops we had out and against a full strength Wolves outfit we were the better team for most of the game but just couldn't convert it to points.

Final note is that Brown and Daniella are forming fine combinations and on a drier day may have seen more ball
