National Youth Squad Player Assessment

Nomination of Player: |
|
The assessment programme is intended for players of at least “very good” standard. (All persons making nominations should note that to nominate players pf any lesser standard could be to the detriment of both the programme and the individual player concerned.) |
|

Comment from Head Coach, Ivan Torpey: |
22 Jan 2005: |
Good solid day, the players are progressing well |
23 Jan 2005: |
Having led East Timor Barbarians 10 – 0 at the half time. It was disappointing that the last play of the game resulted in a converted try, knocking Hong Kong out at the Quarter Final stage (final score Hong Kong 10:12 East Timor Barbarians) . |
The tournament has wrapped up the third training camp and the players have made huge advances. They now have a clearer understanding of the style of play that their coaches (Rodney McIntosh and Dallas Seymour) are trying to implement. The tournament has also given the players some much-needed game play experience which is crucial to their development. |
East Timor progress to the final losing against Australian Sprit which is their second team. |
