Have you signed this youngster?

[durf]

From what I've heard, The Western Force are either in negotiations or have already signed a young kid by the name of Fine Moeakiola.

A bit of background on him. He made NSW U16's last year and played for the Canterbury Bulldogs for the past 2 years. Also made Australia 'A' and is from Newington College in NSW. Heard he is a very good young prospects who is also being chased by the Sydney Roosters, Melbourne Storm and the Waratahs.

Can anybody here confirm this?

Cheers

Welcome aboard mate

We've signed a couple of youngsters, but as far as I know he wasn't one of them. Stick with us, if there's any new signings, you'll get the info here.

NSW U16 league?

Australia A, league, juniors RU?

If he's been at the Dogs' 2 years he would have been in their Harold Matthews & S. G. Ball programs. I can't see him also being available to play Rugby at Newington.

PS. I think The Force should have a "Hands off all Bulldogs juniors" policy.
Any other NRL juniors would be fair game.

Oh yeah, and welcome aboard, mate

Also rumour has it that James O'Connor from Queensland has been signed on a one-year deal with the Force. He is a very good player and made Australian Schoolboys this year. Can you guys confirm this?
