His name is Willie Heta.
The new Orange Hawks captain-coach was electric in his side’s 58-16 thrashing of the Bears at Blayney on Sunday as both teams began their campaigns a week early. Heta scored a try, laid on seven others and booted nine goals from 10 attempts in the victory.
Heta’s work at five-eighth was instrumental in Hawks racing to a 40-6 half-time lead, a seven-try rampage that left the Blayney faithful at King George Oval gobsmacked.
The Kiwi born pivot threw the key pass for five of his side’s tries, one towering torpedo bomb that left the Blayney back three clutching at thin air resulting in another four-pointer, while zippy fullback Ethan Harris latched on to a Heta chip kick to score as well.
Oberon will host the Hawks at 2.30pm.
