Message: [QUOTE="Galah, post: 3672703, member: 10074"] Talking about pre season…..this right here is why our weeny forwards get smashed playing the panthers. Moses Leota said goodbye to his family in Auckland as a 12-year-old. He was living in a caravan out the back of his uncle's house in Mount Druitt when he began working as a brickies labourer at 14. Years later he ran into Panthers Under-20s training in his work boots, cement and mud caked into his hands, apologising for being 20 minutes late. Mistaking the 120kg prospect as ill-disciplined, coaches wanted to cut him loose. "I went to Moses and asked him, 'What are you doing?'" Penrith recruitment manager Jim Jones recalls. "He was trying to work all day as a brickie and then trying to train, so I said to him, 'Why don't I get you a better job?'" He did, detailing cars for $15 an hour. Jones rang Leota's new boss three months later to ask how he was going, and the stunning reply told him everything he needed to know about the unassuming, polite young man.
