Ok good news… but I thought Rowe was an Aussie, wasn't he an Aussie schoolboy?

Rowe sounds pretty damn kiwi to me!

Yes he is Kiwi and yes he played Aussie Schoolboys but when the Keebra boys signed their 1st NRL/NYC contracts they then declare who their allegence will be with!
Rowe is a very proud Maori kid from Taranaki! :slight_smile:

Interesting that the Tigers have more players than any other club in the junior kiwis, even more than the Warriors!

Some very good young cubs there though!

And many more will be added next year when the current Keebra Park boys are included, although some may pick the Aussies/QLD depending on when they arrived.

Warriors under 20's are still playing and have made the GF so once they are finished more players will be added, I think the two selected played state cup.

I'm glad Cherrington was selected, I rate him highly.
Well represented in junior national teams
