Teenage Manly star to Knights

[The '47ers]

Can't get into it, but who is the "star"?

 

[Mal Cochrane]

Kristian Mapapalangi

Not like we need good juniors. Much rather spend money on discards, particularly injured oned.

 

[Disco]

Shame to lose good kids but cant keep em all.

Schuster earmarked as the long term 5/8 so its a shame but not the end of the world

 

[Kalvin]

Never heard of him?

 

[gracejh23]

Never heard of him?

he's in our SG ball team he's their number 6 . halves partner to Jamie Humphreys

How do you qualify as a ‘teenage star’?

 

[Mal Cochrane]

How do you qualify as a ‘teenage star’?

you play for manly juniors and sign for another club

 

[Shoe1]

He’s a good prospect, but read the juniors thread. No big deal.

what I mean here is there are 5 other must signs

 

[mickqld]

We need hookers, halves, edges, centers, wingers, fullbacks. Think we ok for middles.

 

[Brookie Bob]

It's ok - we'll repay the favor as far as the Knights are concerned some time in the future when we need to.

He is a 5/8...

 

[KNUCKLES]

We only just signed him like 3 months ago lol

Doesn't take long to realise how much this club stinks these days.

Doesn't take long to realise how much this club stinks these days.

With Schuster recommitting there is minimal opportunity for a budding 5/8th coming through our system long term.

In comparison there probably is some opportunity opening up at the Knights in the coming years without a solid number 6.

Far more to do with that then any perception of the club.

I get the joke you are making,but he was with our Ball side last year.

 

[KNUCKLES]

Wasn't he promised a spot in our 30 this year but?? Looks like he will get that at the knights next year..

Spot on

 

[Spartan Eagle]

We will sign him back when he has a career ending injury at the knights.

His high school coach said he was,but I have not heard anyone else say so.
I don't think we could even guarantee him a spot in our Flegg side this year,after Ball finishes up Humphreys,Weekes,Koula would all get a nod before him.With Harris,Vaega,Ala and Kopa all doing well it would be hard for him to leapfrog them,even if Koula and Weekes play a higher level you still have Tito and Brown from the Ball side who would challenge him for a spot.
Turner,Lehmann,Lawler and Oostendorp currently in Flegg are all good players too.You are right I guess that the Knights guaranteed him a spot in Flegg for the rest of the year and a development spot for next year(doubt we could guarantee him a development spot for next year)
