Smokin' Joe's glorious juniors thread.....2021 edition.

A huge congratulations to the Harold Matthews team, wonderful achievement to smash the Whinging worms in the final. The Fainu brothers are something very special and they took the game by the scruff of the neck and finished the job.

It is imperative that our club retains the nucleus of this team, They are 16 year olds and we need them to continue in our system and grow and develop.

The future is bright when you see the talent in this team and also what we have the SG Ball team.

Named player of the series and MOM ...
This boy is a serious player. You can see why the Whinging worms were desperate to have him rubbed out of the final. What is poetic justice is the ball he threw to his brother to put the team 16-0 up and the coup de grace with the delicate chip to set up a try on the first tackle for our captain. Dominant performance from this lad today and the whole series!
 
Intersting to see Jersey Flegg side got flogged with Weekes Koula Brown playing (promoted from SG ball). Turbo 3 and Sione Fainu also played. May need a few more of the the sg Ballers in this week......
 
Is that Hopoate at no 1?
Yes it is. What a shame this family didn't head down an amazing path at Manly (local team) like the T's and now it looks the Fainu's. 10 years ago we were going he has 4 gun sons playing and not one of them did much for Manly. I know Will won a comp but left as soon as he got good.

They left chasing the money thanks to dad's influence

He looks a lot slimmer than the other Hopoate's Didn't hear much of him this year so doesn't sound like he will be a star like Albert and a few others promised to be at the same age
 
Was that Latu Fainu 's brother [ forward ] that powered over for a try in the G F [ maybe mentioned by Sheikheagle or some other guy ] . Strong running looks a bit reminiscent of Pane Hass

Latu is the 5/8

Yes it was, can't remember the name as the commentator kept screwing the names up.
