My 14 year old grandson signed up by the Melbourne Storm NRL...
My 14 year old grandson signed up by the Melbourne Storm NRL...
We just heard some fantastic news; our 14 year old grandson, Pride, who featured in an earlier post after being nominated for an athletic award here in Wellington, and just this week awarded the top athlete and sportsman of the year for his secondary school in Upper Hutt (Upper Hutt College), here in the Hutt Valley, has been signed up after a boot-camp by the champion NRL club in Australian rugby league, the Melbourne Storm, and will be flown over for a trial with the club in April,2010. He was among the three final selections after 125 were trialled here. Two of the players, including Pride, play for the same Upper Hutt Tigers club.
Pride Petterson-Robati has always been a rugby league prodigy, making Wellington representative teams from an early age.
We all had high hopes for the boy, but not as early as this, at 14 years of age. If he is succesful at the trial he could be offered a scholarship which would probably include schooling in Melbourne, Australia, and selection in a junior side. He played against boys three or four years older than he in his school side which recently won the rugby league championship in Wellington.
His genetic abilities come from a great grandfather who was a NZ Maori rugby union representative, and his pakeha great grandmother, a champion runner in her teens who missed out on selection to the Empire Games through injury.

An update to this story: Pride has been awarded his scholarship and $20,000, without having to go to the April trial in Melbourne.
Pride actually received a six year contract. He moved to melbourne last week. i think he signed a letter of intent earlier in the year, and signed his contract the other day. He will be schooled in Melbourne and be put through an accountancy course next year. He is too young to play U18 yet.
