Position: Utility Back/ Fullback/ First five-eighth
Jared Page is the future of Counties Manukau rugby, Steelers coach Tana Umaga says.
The fullback, who plays club rugby for Pukekohe, was the star of the Steelers' first Ranfurly Shield defence of the year, scoring 33 points, including three tries, in the 68-0 rout of Thames Valley last week. Umaga praised Page's well-rounded performance.
''He is only a young kid and was born and bred here,'' Umaga said.
''He is our local talent. He has had a few injuries and he obviously has a lot of promise.''
The union has yet to sign Page to a contract, but Umaga hoped he could secure Page' before the larger unions tried to recruit him.
''He is someone who we are looking at and we believe he can be the future of our union and he is someone we want to bring through,'' Umaga said.
