Interesting player signed by Workers,Toni Tupouniua,a tall,rangy second rower who looks like a twin of Roosters Sitili.(same hair style even)
Originally from Warriors juniors and was signed to Qrl side last year(Tweed?),have no idea if a relative of Sitili but has a younger brother (Havi?).
Hope he has as much talent as Sitili....

Tim Simona back at the Workers. Potentially a good pickup if he gets cleared to play NRL again.

Big unit whao played plenty of union like many NZ kids....powerful outside back

The Blacktown Worker Sea Eagles are excited to announce the signing of Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega. Raymond was born in Auckland NZ and is 20 years of age.
Raymond plays anywhere in the outside backs, however he is most devastating at centre. In full contact sessions during Pre season he has hit very hard in defence, similar to a young Steve Matai. Ray has represented his country in the NZ residents team in 2019. The reason Raymond started playing rugby league was because he loved the ‘contact’ in league. He has fond memories of all the lunch time games with his old school mates at Kelston Boys High School.

Steve Matai apparently signed to play with Mudgeeraba redbacks here on the Gold Coast. So much for "hiding"

Tiny whispers that Manly are interested in Cameron McInnes.

Personally I’d love this. He could play nine until Fainu returns (if he does) and McInnes can shift to 13 with Jake to prop. If Fainu doesn’t get off then our nine is sorted.

So Now it’s Izzy all the homos burn in hell linked to the Dragqueens. Bit of an oxymoron.

Dane Aukafolau signs with Blacktown in 2021. Dane brings a sizeable presence with him to Blacktown this year after moving from the outside backs to the second row. Dane spent 2019 with the Manly Sea Eagles in a train and trial contract and impressed everyone at the club with his work ethic and natural ability. Now that Dane has moved to the edge he has been concentrating on his line running and defence as pillars for his game in 2021
Dane is an exciting prospect on 2021 for the Blacktown Workers.

Danny Levi to Norths devils. Broncos reserves team. This will be one of those opportunities for players who are now allowed to play NRL straight from reserve grade after rd 10

Lebanese international winger @bilalmaarbani has signed with the Blacktown Workers.
Bilal played for the Grand Final winner 2017 under 20’s team, scoring a first half try in the Grand Final. He has represented Lebanon in the 2017 World Cup and played for the Wests Tigers in the Canterbury Cup.
Bilal is a skilful outside back, at home on the wing or a fullback. His communication skills and hand eye co-ordination make him a threat for opposition teams in attack and defence.
Good luck in 2021 Bilal.

Paul Green announced as Queensland State of Origin coach

Former North Queensland Cowboys coach Paul Green is announced as the new coach for the men's Queensland State of Origin team, on a one-year deal.

www.abc.net.au

Former North Queensland Cowboys coach Paul Green has been announced as the new coach of the Queensland State of Origin team, on a one-year deal.

Green takes the reins from Wayne Bennett who led the Maroons to an upset 2-1 series win over New South Wales in 2020.

During his seven seasons as head coach at the Cowboys, Green took his side to its maiden National Rugby League Premiership in 2015 and a Grand Final in 2017.

He stepped away from the club mid-way through the 2020 season after the team struggled in recent years, failing to make finals.

As a former halfback, Green also played seven games for the Maroons from 1999 and 2001.

He said he was thrilled to be given the opportunity.
