You know what, I'd take any two of Uate, W. Naiqama or K. Naiqama.

At present Ginger no, as ive already said previously i've heard the various rumours as to who we may be at least targeting but thats all they are as far as im concerned at present.
However, for what its worth two of the rumoured players are from Newcastle nights (one been a centre/winger) if thats any good to you.

I reckon it's the one everyone has watched on u tube hopefully they will get whoever it I'd on a two year deal one year whats that all about cheers for the heads up

It was simply a little bit of sarcasm aimed at Mrs B in response to one of her comments.

Aren't we supposed to be reducing the overseas players and blooding our kids at some point.

Wes Naiqama has a criminal record which might pose visa problems

The Naiqama brothers are Fijian internationals (Wes is the current captain, I think) so no problem with quota. The problem though is neither of them are full backs - Kev's a winger and Wes is a centre.

Kev is the current Fijian fullback and has played much of his lower grade football as a fullback - about a third of his games. At one stage last year he was the preferred fullback in reserve grade, pushing Shannon McDonnell to the wing, but he is equally at home on the wing. He also plays a bit of centre.
Wes has played many games at fullback in firstgrade over the last few years and many people think it's his best position. He was second choice fullback for firstgrade last year, the pecking order being Kurt Gidley, Wes Naiqama, Shannon McDonnell.

This year they have all been passed by Pete Mata'utia, and next year Pat and Chanel Mata'utia and the next year Sione Mata'utia will give us an all Samoan and one Fijian (Uate) back five. All the Mata'utia brothers have played for Australia at junior level, and all four will play fullback, wing or centre in firstgrade. They rang from 16 year old Sione (current NSW captain at under 16 level) to 22 year old Pete (firstgrade fullback last week and 10 firstgrade appearences).

Any idea what the advert with Clint Newton refers to Roopy?

Good work GR. Wings sorted. Craig Hall in to centre with a Beatles mop-top, Disco Dave to full back with a bubble perm and face paint like Gene Simmons.
