Keebra Park - Is it worth it ?

[TigerCrib]

Ok Thanks Goose….How does it work ? Are the Keebra recruited NZ players just solely for Wests Tigers ?
Does Keebra recruit for other NRL teams and we get allocated players ? Do we have any say in the players recruited ?

Im not sure how the players end up assigned to us.

I think that some of the players are on scholarship through the club, which links them to us, but not all players fit that bill. Im not sure on the logistics.

The Tigers have an initiative with Keebra where they hold invitation only trials in Hamilton, NZ each year in around October. From here some are offered a scholarship that works in conjunction with the Tigers, which basically means that the Tigers have 1st pick!

I'm guessing if the Tigers then say no, then they're open slather for selection with the Titans & Broncos.

i dont profess to knowing much about the keebra park programme, but gather it is a scholarship one for nz kids?
why cant/isnt it for australian kids as well?

anyway, as i say, dont know much about and so wont comment too far other than to say that i dont think 10 years is an ample sample pool to judge from.

who knows? in 2, 6, 9 years time we could all be praising the benefits?

Keebra give out 5 scholarships each year & scholarship recipients are selected from Australia & NZ.

What you will find is that many Kiwis families move over to the Gold Coast & into Keebra Parks School Zone just so their kids can attend Keebra & have a crack at being selected in the Rugby League program. I think you will find this was the case with Kurtis Rowe!
