Vuna re-signs

Vuna breaks his silence: My Name is Kerry

Vuna homes in on making mark with Newcastle

KNIGHTS winger Cooper Vuna will use this weekend's trip home to Auckland to discuss his future with his parents and manager.

Vuna is considering a two-season contract offer from the Knights but it has dragged on longer than he or the club had hoped. Knights operations manager Warren Smiles will meet with Vuna's agent tomorrow morning, and the Knights anticipate an answer shortly afterwards.

When, or if, he signs, exactly what name will Vuna scribble at the bottom of the contract?

Vuna's first name is Kerry. Cooper is his middle name.

"I didn't want to be called Kerry in footy. Cooper's better," Vuna told Big League magazine's Little League insert last week.

"When I was young, playing league and union, the people that knew me called me 'Coops' or Cooper, but the first name the school kept calling me was Kerry.'

* The bitterness and *****iness of another Knights election campaign is almost over, and all will be revealed at the club's annual general meeting on Wednesday night.

For the first time, members are voting for seven directors instead of five after they voted overwhelmingly at an extraordinary meeting after last year's AGM to cut the number of Newcastle Rugby League-appointed directors from four to two.

The postal ballot closes on Monday afternoon, votes will be counted on Tuesday, winners and losers notified individually on Wednesday morning, then the results officially declared that night to the members who attend the AGM at EAS.

All indications are that first-time candidates Helen Scott and Bob Lyons will miss out. That will leave the other nine contenders former players Tony Butterfield and Rob Tew, founding father Leigh Maughan, solicitor Peter Bale, and incumbents Peter Corcoran, Nicholas Dan, Mark Fitzgibbon, Paul Harragon and Allan McKeown jockeying for seven vacancies

Thanks, I was wondering what the word was that got censored, couldn't pick it for the life of me.
 
Oh, thought he was older then that, it's obvious he is going to sign on with us, why can't they just hurry it up ?(*Note: This is a rhetorical question)
 
I guess i can now tell you guys which clubs were after him or showed interest

Titans, Bulldogs and Believe it or not The Cash Strapped Roosters (Using his brother as a lure), And i did hear rumors from people he was likely to sign with Manly way back in January.

But in the end the Bulldogs offered him a 3 Year Contract, Worth a fair bit more than the Newcastle Offer. Remeber loyalty means nothing to players these days.
 
good news, he probably didnt wont to make a massive move again so soon after last yr.
any details on the contract, was it also a 3-year deal?
