Big things coming.. watch this space 🫡

Congratulations to our captain courageous, Wyllis Maihi, on being selected in the Auckland Rugby League Sharman Team of the Year.

This is an award built on consistent performance across the season, and Wyllis has been exactly that for us, week in, week out. Those within our team have seen his impact all year, and to see that recognized by Auckland Rugby League is well deserved. Wyllis stood out through moments of individual brilliance, scoring tries through skill, effort, and determination. But just as often, it was the work that doesn’t always show on the scoreboard, tough carries, defensive grind, and the willingness to put his hand up for whatever the team needed. Even when his body was under pressure, Wyllis kept competing with toughness, resilience, and commitment to his teammates. As captain, he led by example on and off the field, setting standards through his actions, composure, and accountability. A respected leader, a fierce competitor, and a thoroughly deserving Team of the Year selection. Congratulations, Wyllis Well Deserved
