Bulldogs sign Warriors young gun

The Warriors have a bad habit of letting many of their best young players slip through their fingers and that may be the case again with New Zealand 18s back rower Javvier Pitovao.

The Bulldogs have signed Pitovao to a two year deal and he will start in the lower grades next season.

Although only 17, the strong-running forward played several NYC games for the Warriors last year and looked the goods.

Pitovao hails from Mount Albert Grammar - the same school that produced Sonny Bill Williams and Steve Matai - and is definitely one for the little black books.

Good news. Looks promising

 

Lets hope he is a gun in a few years time.

 

Getting our mojo back. Fck u Des!

 

I was worried we had signed someone smaller than Corey Thompson until I saw that photo was taken when the kid was 13 haha

 

Thanks for pointing that out. Was thinkin to myself that he is a fuckin dweeb. Haha

 

Just what we need. Another forward.

"The Warriors have a bad habit of letting many of their best young players slip through their fingers".... and we don't?

 

Haha no worries.
He’d still bend the line more than Tolman though

 

Lets hope Mount Albert Grammar have not produced the third fuck whit, I was excited until those other 2 names were mentioned.

 

Can he play halfback

 

Is he home sick yet?

 

Great. More backrowers. Just what we need.

 

Man I was thinking the same thing... ok sweet so he was 13 then

 

Matai is okay the other fuckwit I can't stand.

 

Spose there has been plenty of grumbling about neglecting the juniors so this signing is a good thing!

So in jest, he will get injured every 5 minutes and then hope on a plane in the middle of the night.................lol

 

Hahaha. I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully he has filled out in the last few years

We do lack some hard running forwards so hopefully with the proper mentoring he comes through ok.

 

He might be like the Doogie Howser of footy or what’s that new show with the kid doctor?

 

Until they dedicate themselves and see them cemented in first grade I don’t want to know

 

Over the past 10 years we have signed so may "young guns"

I'm still waiting for one to become a gun

 

Ahh, i was hoping when i saw this it was
Nathaniel roche theyd signed.
