  • No mention of Mahoney, Faingaa or Dylan Brown is interesting. Yet to be added or too young?
    • Brett his definitely shown what his got in the WC
    • Mahoney and co are still eligible for under 20s. Salmon turns 19 next year but would’ve been in high demand, so is probably in the full time squad on a decent contract.
  • I would of thought Faingaa would of been there for sure!
    • Really hoping we can keep Faingaa, he has been super impressive in the World Cup. Sign him up.

      Very happy with these young blokes signing, I thought Aukafolau was very good in the final, must admit it was the first time that I watched him, Salmon has some big wraps on him and could be a handy buy.
  • I hope we sign faingaa he look good in the world cup

    And i hope we get more players then these young players we need players with experience big forwards
    • Heard during World Cup he signed with the tigers
  • Salmon is a very good player
    He carved up for the sharks this year
    Very good signing
    He will definitely play 1st grade in the future
  • The younger players are generally under contract until they turn 20, so the majority of NYC players are still 18 and from memory are signed for at least next yar, and most until 2019
  • Don’t shoot the messenger but I may have heard he signed with the Tigers. Anyway it was from a forum on Facebook so I wouldn’t say there is much credit to it.
