WESTERN NEWS Tuesday December 20 2016 15 Hornby Panthers duo up for awards • By Gordon Findlater TWO HORNBY Panthers have been made finalists for major awards at next month’s New Zealand Rugby League awards. Jordan Riki is a finalist for the under-16 domestic player of the year, while Tevin Arona is up for the domestic player of the year. Arona, 21, has been a star player for both the Panthers and Canterbury Bulls since returning to Christchurch two years ago after a stint in Australia with the Canberra Raiders. The scrum-half helped lead the Panthers to a grand-final appearance and was also named in the New Zealand Residents team. “Getting to play for my country was one of my proudest moments. Going into camp with the residents team was a great experience,” said Arona. His efforts saw him picked up by the Warriors recently. Arona is currently in Auckland training with the NRL team’s New South Wales Cup side. He will return to Christchurch for Christmas before returning to Auckland with the goal of making the squad for the 2017 season. Riki, 16, was the standout player for the South Island Scorpions at the national under-17 tournament in October. He was named tournament MVP after helping the team to a second place finish. SPORTS The second rower was also the MVP at this year’s under-16 New Zealand Rugby League performance camp in Rotorua. “I went there last year as a 15-year-old and at the end said, ‘I would love to get one of the awards one day.’ That was my goal going into it this year and everything panned out,” said Riki. Recognition of his talent hasn’t only come from within New Zealand. Riki was noticed by an agent two years ago and was soon picked up by the Brisbane Broncos. He has recently signed a new three-year deal with the NRL club and will make the move to Brisbane following his final year at Christchurch Boys’ High School. Riki has also proven handy in the 15-man game. His first experience with the oval ball was in union with Burnside as a four-year-old, before his parent moved him to league because of his build. “A lot of parents were complaining because I was a bit too big and rough. My mum actually had to take down my birth certificate to prove how old I was,” said Riki. YOUNG STAR: Jordan Riki (above) scored two tries during the under-16 New Zealand Rugby League performance camp in Rotorua. While Tevin Arona’s performances on the domestic front have seen him pick up a pre-season contract with the Warriors. He then joined the Riccarton Knights before moving to the Panthers. Riki was part of a combined Panthers and Halswell Hornets team that won this year’s under-18 Canterbury club grandfinal, defeating the Papanui Tigers 50-6. Riki has also returned to union since his first stint as a youngster. This year he played a handful of games at No 8 for the Christchurch BHS first XV before deciding to concentrate on league. However, he’s planning on giving the defending UC Championship team another crack during his final year of school in 2017.
