Rotorua Boys' High School student Ceiza James signs NRL contract with Wests Tigers

Any article on it?

Any other news on his age position potential?

There a fire wall starts off comparing to Marshall from the same area.

I personally love what madge and the team is doing. We seem to have signed more juniors then ever before. Hopefully a few if them pan out. Also we are building the whole club not just the top grade. Going to be interesting moving forward

In 2003, a teenager by the name of Benji Marshall made his NRL debut for the Wests Tigers. It was a winning formula, in 2005 the kid from Whakatāne led them to the Holy Grail – a win in the NRL Grand Final. Now, in 2019, the club have recruited another young Bay of Plenty star, another who plays in the halves and has a background in touch rugby.

I know we can't read too much into highlights reels... but that's impressive.
Steps off either foot, speed to burn, in and aways, fantasatic support player, kicks goals?
Surely we won't be able to keep him!

We seem to be recruiting the best young players available to expose them to a greatly improved development regime, I believe the retention issue will resolve itself if we build a culture where players want to stay. Developing a young successful team with a few hardheads breeds success.

Ceiza James

This kid will most likely be on a Flegg contract. Or a development one. How old is he? Article behind paywall

poor fella is gonna cop as many comparisons to Benji as Brooks did with Joey Johns. hopefully it doesn't hinder him.

@balmain-boy He’s signed a two year deal with the jersey Flegg team and is hoping to sign an NRL contract after these two years. Was playing in the chiefs U18’s team this year.

Yeah it's becoming increasingly clear that this is the plan, and I for one like it. For god's sake please no more quick fixes. We need to build sound foundations with lots of talent coming through year on year. That's what successful clubs do - it's dumb clubs like the Eels, Titans and us that try putting the skylight windows on before they've built the house.

Those comparisons only hinder the ones who arent up to it.

Canberra and the tigers were the two clubs after him. Tigers showed more interest and his family lives in Sydney.

They quoted in an article he plays fullback ....rugby union player

 

[Madge]

@happy_tiger really? He said he is coming to play in the halves and being excited to be mentored by benji.

Although I would like him to play fullback.

 

[happy_tiger]

@Madge

It was talking about a game he played ...mentioned he was fullback

 

[Tim Sheens]

I dont like the talk of JWH.

Roosters are the smartest team in the NRL. They spend their money wisely and they dont pay over for old players.

Hargraves's best years are behind him. He is being moved on by a club that doesnt lose good players they want.

Just more of the same if we end up signing him. Over paid and best years behind him.

Hardly a way to build a future.

Anyhow there is so much crap out there with the signing deadline approaching. i think ill just wait to see who we actually sign.

I see his potential signing as very similar to that of the pair of mature front rowers signed two years ago and most were not happy with the results. Would rather a youngster myself, with enough experience already in place.

Also, doubt that he would be getting the same leniency judiciary wise when at WT.

@Madge Is this from the full version of the article?

Can you copy/share it if so?
