Muriwai staff are a dynamic team of highly experienced individuals. Starting off at half back [team manager] - **Hadyn Pomana.** Hadyn possess the skill of passing both ways [communicating to community and staff, bridging the gap]. She has a good sense of the flow of the game allowing her to make game breaking calls when needed [high initiation of things administrative and pertaining to students]

First Five and Captain - **Parekura Brown.**As do most first fives Parekura directs the team about the paddock [direction of curriculum and pedagogies with in the school]. He possess a great chip kick and campese step in the area of history and whakapapa in regards to the local area and children. This brings a great advantage to the team in terms of depth.Morals and ethics do matter to him and so the team looks to when with high standards.

Second Five - Parehuia Enari. A steady second five prepared to crash the ball up the guts or make the hard calls when it comes to the crunch.If you are about learning you want a second five like this. Tackles issues with the powerfull tackle.SENCO and staff rep on the board calls for endurance.

Centers **Kymmy Stephens and Falefatu Enari** Both players are used as impact players for the side doing two days a week. Kymmy in Rumaki brings the depth of experience needed for the junior school but also possess a mean step in the area of music. This not only adds to the curriculum strenght but builds a great team atmosphere. Falefatu in the billingual class covers the physical game. Not much of a step on him but more the up the guts approach.Ensures team enviroment is healthy and competitive with a focus. Keeping the focus on fun.

Wingers **Francie May and Chiquita Moeke** Both players bring huge experience to the paddock. Both capable of game winning play making and are able to make the call when needed. They are the highest try scorers on the team in terms of sorting things out and calling it as it is. Valuable team members.

Utility Player - **Jack Moeke**Known as uncle to the students Jack brings his specialist skills of elite performane to the team. Yet to hit his straps as new to the team their is a sense of you aint seen nothing yet from this exciting team member.

Koka Melody New to the franchise but not to the game. Melody brings just that ,adds value to the harmonies currently in chorus at Muriwai. With a strong rucking game in the area of brush strokes and arts we look forward to the final pieceas she paints on the canvas of Muriwai. She too brings much experience to the team.
