    Default Vito’s bellringer leaves NSW juniors battered and blue

    Vito’s bellringer leaves NSW juniors battered and blue

    A CRUNCHING tackle from Gold Coast product Vito Sula-Siaosi sealed a thrilling 20-18 win for the Queensland under-16 team in the Origin curtain-raiser last night.

    Sula-Siaosi, who was Gold Coast White’s best and fairest player in this year’s Cyril Connell Cup, pulled off the hit with less than two minutes to go to clinch victory for the Maroons.

    Queensland trailed 12-8 at the half-time break but took the lead with eight minutes to go and hung on for a memorable win.

    Sula-Siaosi was strong off the bench for the Maroons while fellow Gold Coast representative Brent Woolf was scheming from dummy-half throughout the close encounter at Suncorp Stadium.

    Hulking forward Syd Smith opened scoring for the Queenslanders but the Blues hit back with tries to Cameron Murray and Sione Hopoate to take the lead.

    Maroons centre Jason Chapman scored late in the first half to keep Queensland within striking distance at the break.

    Queensland came out firing in the second half with tries to Sato Ketia Opo and Enari Tuala giving the home team a 20-12 lead.

    Katoni Staggs scored with three minutes left on the clock to set up a grandstand finish but Sula-Siaosi’s tackle off the restart proved to be the deciding play, robbing NSW of a last chance to steal victory.

    The Gold Coast had four representatives in the contest with big boppers Jack Peacock and Ethan Paikea hailing from the region.

    These are the type of articles that we need to read about Coast juniors. Is he contracted to us at all?

    I have been watching Vito play for years now & have seen him come from being a Front Rower 4 years ago to a fantastic Hooker/utility player (Mcdrew will back me up on this) , i know when our boys come up against his club (Runaway Bay) most of them ask "is Vito playing" , very tough young bloke & the scary thing is his younger brother looks to be even better, they both need to be locked up even at this young age....

    I watched the 2nd half & thought Woolfy was close to the best on the park.....Qld's future looks very good in the hooking ranks

    Titan Pete is absolutely spot on, a superb player, I personally think he is better in the backrow but he played a lot of hooker in CC this year. His younger brother Pharnsis is a front rower who was as good as anybody on the field for our U14 development squad against older Redlands opposition in February of this year. Both are class acts on and off the field and should have good futures in front of them
