TOWNSVILLE Blackhawks recruit Moses Meninga says he is eager to learn from his senior teammates while pushing for a National Rugby League (NRL) spot at the North Queensland Cowboys feeder club. The Blackhawks are not short of NRL experience with Josh Hoffman (Parramatta Eels, Gold Coast Titans and Brisbane Broncos), Patrick Kaufusi (Cowboys, Melbourne Storm and St George Illawarra Dragons) and Sione Lousi (New Zealand Warriors) bolstering the side. Papua New Guinea Kumuls playmaker Kyle Laybutt is also another player with NRL experience, having made two appearances for the Cowboys. Kumuls forward Meninga told The National last week that the Queensland Intrust Super Cup club had a clear pathway to the NRL.
