2012 Toyota Cup (NYC) Under 20's Thread

Two tries to Chanel makes 15 for the year and 7 from the last five games. I think he missed some games too.

Pat ran bigger metres and made more tackles than all the other backs in his second game back.

Pretty sure it's a typo to have Clacherty in 2 and 17 - Chanel Mataútia will play wing hopefully - he deserves a chance to break 20 tries for the season.

Guys playing their last games of NYC are;

Will Smith (signed for seniors next year)
Chanel Mataútia
Tyler Randell (signed for seniors next year)
Api Pewhairangi
Korbin Sims (signed for seniors next year)
Chad Redman
Nathan Clarke
Dale Clacherty
 
Kurt Mann chopped for the last game of the year. Ouch, or is he injured?
Report says he went off after 10 minutes last week with a medial ligament tear.
I'd have dropped him when we couldn't make the finals and given Khaele Bowen or Widders a run.
 
Chanel got a hat trick to finish the season with 22 tries - and something like 12 in the last 8 games.

Another loss though.

terrible year
 
This year was worse than previous years because we proved in the early part of the season that we had the squad to beat anyone, and then they started experimenting with fringe players and mid season imports.

Another really bad thing from the year was that I don't think we used a single player from the SG Ball squad, and this year is the only time i remember that happening.
