Te Maire Martin to debut

Be interesting how he goes at NRL level in a real game. Lots of people have put massive raps on him, but I really think he might struggle for at least a year or two
 
we all knew he was a star in the making it was unfortunate we had to lose him. Phil Gould chased him hard and we were never going to be able to hold him. Regardless, I'll support him even though he plays for a rival. Good on the kid.

you kno it!

thumbs up for young Te'Maire also.

Absolutely great debut
 
Yes he played well. Looked dangerous with the ball and popped up all over the field.

Clutch field goal will ensure he makes the papers tomorrow.
 
Oh the money we should be making for producing talent if the NRL were run correctly and with game's best interests truly in mind.

We'd be as rich as the one team town Broncos and probably have the tpas to match them too.

100% mate. In a professionally run competition that rightly rewards the nurturing and development of junior talent WT would be a powerhouse.
As it is we are just a farm that produces the cattle for fat-arsed cashed up buyers to pick the eyes out of. It will never change, the NRL are only interested in their own bottom line- not the procedures that pave the way for their product to flourish.
Congratulations to Te Maire on his superb debut,it went like a dream. Probably hold off on the superstar talk ATM though….we have seen plenty of players absolutely carve up in their first couple of games and then struggle to ever match it again.
Good luck to him though.

Penrith, Parra and Wests Tigers produce like 20-30% of the talent running round. There's no incentive to work on your juniors. Easier just to leech off other clubs.

They say there are too many clubs in Sydney, in my eyes the problem is one or two clubs are not pulling their weight when it comes to lower level investment. I'm looking at you Rorters and Cronulla.
 
And having a player like Soward to help and guide him along the way, is going to be great for him. Well done to the young man. He certainly doesn't lack footy-smarts.
