warriors 95 Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 Amazing to see Pia riding high up in 3rd place. werent Pia an elite 2 club just a couple of seasons ago?
langpark Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 I cannot recall ever seeing Lezignan down that low. Could be one of their worst ever seasons in recent history.

Could be one of their worst ever seasons in recent history. Almost went bankrupt two years ago, new start with a young team that over performed, they lost two very strong imports and have lost games by two points this season that they won last year by a couple of points, A young team that has a minimum of 13 locally produced players on the team sheet every week, Hopefully Paul momorovski will bring the spark that will change the close losses to close wins, It's a very close league this season which is great to see, the level of imports is very high, the team with the better imports are having the best seasons, Edited December 24, 2024 by barnyia 3 1

They string some good passages of play together but then it falls apart through handling errors or miscommunication. Good to hear they’re rebuilding however and they’ll be better for this in seasons to come. Brocas & Mata’afa have stood out for me in watching them. Also good to see Jordan Flovie continue to score tries for fun in a weaker team. 1

barnyia Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 No they're on full time contracts, usually just above minimum wage,

barnyia Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 2 hours ago, warriors 95 said: Any supplements from sponsors etc? Yes some may get top ups, but all imports have to be on a pro contract aat at least minimum wage, that's the rules I don't know if all teams respect this,

warriors 95 Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 Have the former PNG hunters players arrived yet and if so how are they playing?
barnyia Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 No they've taken a ex nrl player (centre) and a young 22 year old prop, who looks very good, plus pellisier, and harrison Hansen, to add to natoli and the miloudi brothers,

He absolutely flattened one of Carca’s middles at one point
dunno much Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 Yes he’s Ilai Tuia whose father Dave played for Tonneins in the late 90’s. Ilai spent 4 seasons in the Penrith youth system before returning home to Wellington this year & played with his home club Randwick Kingfishers. He was contacted by Pia & arrived 8 days later. A very humble, hard working young man who looks to have a great career ahead of him. 1
