Junior Reps 2022

[pawsandclaws1]

Tumeth, Matamua, Tannous, O’Kane, Saukuru, Peni, Hill, Pole, Guyan and Roberts to train with first-grade at the beginning of pre-season.

Most of these players have progressed "under the radar". It's a long time since we've had a try scoring second row forward like Tumeth. O'Kane looks a prospect and Peni was rated an outstanding prospect at Keebra Park. Roberts I know is rated highly in the Illawarra. It is surprising the Steelers lost him. Anyway with all the negative stuff about 1 Nov, there is lots of positive changes at the club in the SG Ball, Flegg and KOE grades.

I just read the Port Macquarie News and Selwyn Smith is a very mobile ball playing second row forward. He seems to be the Ian Russell type of clever Indigenous forward. I can't wait to see him play.

Thanks for the updates as we don't get much news about our juniors out here.

Cheers

Wests Tigers announce 2022 Development Players
Fri 5 Nov 2021

Wests Tigers are pleased to confirm its Development Players for the 2022 season as an extended squad returned to training this week.

With a number of new faces included in the wider squad, three young talented players will feature as part of the Development list this year — local juniors Henry O'Kane and Brandon Tumeth as well as Apisalome Saukuru.

All still Jersey Flegg-eligible in 2022, O'Kane, Tumeth and Saukuru were all named as part of the wider U/21's squad last week under the guidance of new Coach Scott Kenna. While still several months away, it's likely that the trio will begin the season in that competition before they transition through the pathways system.

"It’s great a great opportunity for Henry, Apisalome and Brandon to sign on with Wests Tigers as development players for the 2022 season," Wests Tigers Football Operations and Recruitment Manager Warren McDonnell said.

"These players have all worked tirelessly over the past few seasons to get themselves to this position and they thoroughly deserve the opportunity to learn and grow from being in the full-time training environment."

Henry O'Kane
Date of Birth — 5th April, 2002
Junior Club — Holy Cross Rhinos
Position — Second Row

That is a solid clip. Runs a good line, has a pass on him, doesn't mind the tough stuff and has some pace. Plenty to like.

Looks like Lomi Saukuru must have picked up an arm/shoulder injury and has undergone surgery (from his instagram story).Hopefully a speedy recovery for him!

 

[bathursttiger1]

OKane will hopefully be what he hoped Garner might become but never has. A hard running back rower that hits gaps at pace

It would be great if he turned out to be another Simon Dwyer.

Watching a game of him on YouTube the other night. Man he was an intimidating no nonsense large second rower. Was doing all the tough stuff doing the first run of a tap ect. Him and Gareth Ellis best second row combo we have had.
