Yeah, nothing like a spray. I'm off to Mitre 10 to grab a bag of cement for lunch.
Not before time either!!

That may be true but the Australian selectors thought enough of him to select him in the schoolboys side and the kiwis thought enough of him to select him in the junior kiwis so that is good enough for me.Reports also indicate that numerous sides were chasing him and he signed with us....
What reports? The reports I heard . Parra offered him next to nothing then he went to the Gold Coast train and trial and they didn't want him . Blacktown signed him for peanuts and now he is training with us . Good buisness from bozo see how he goes. Don't get to carried away he's not in the same league as hoppa and Bainbridge over 80 minutes.

Report is from Blacktown who negotiated with Amone and his management,they stated that "plenty" of clubs were chasing his signature,seeing as they were negotiating directly with his management I would think they would be right?They also state that they expect him to be playing NRL sooner than later,it sort of suggests that big things are expected of him fairly early,I also find it hard to believe that a guy who played for the jr kiwis last year would struggle to attract interest,but yeah I have no idea what he is like over 80mins./defensively etc.... all U20's players are a lottery but some have more potential than others...

Ditto...hope we win a premiership in all grades.I hope all the players from both squads kick ass.I just look at the positives that a player brings,if he is a success I will be happy but if he crashes and burns he will not be the first to do so...I have no personal investment in him or any other player Lol
You are debating with someone who is uniquely and aggressively pessimistic my friend.
There is being realistic and being negative. The funny thing is the negative people think they are being realistic. The realistic thing is that they are just negative.
Anyway, this is a good young prospect to have on our books with great slight of hand, i hope he kicks on.

No one is saying he is no good, we are just trying to inform those posters who may not have even heard of him, what the situation really is.
The OP wrote that it's "massive signing" and someone else said he will be better at playing 80 than Hoppa and so on and so on. I get the impression others have penciled him into the 17 for next season having never heard of him prior to this thread.
The reality is he is getting a minimum contract at Manly having be cut loose by the Eels...when you consider what some of the best 18-19-20 year olds are being paid nowadays, and this guy was offered 10 grand to stay at the Eels, my guess is this isn't a "massive signing".
