    Uniting LU. Ashleigh Klein is the best referee.

    Yep it was nothing more than a face saving exercise that made him look like an even bigger fool.

    I’d say O’Sullivan will be tasked to build up our scouting network at junior levels and will be a keen observer at all the schoolboy carnivals

    Depends how good the zoom connection was from Townsville

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I’d imagine AOB, Bedsy and Phil would’ve been the brains trust at the time

    Typically recruitment will involve a panel which id imagine in this case would be Parr, O’Sullivan and AOB along with whoever looks after the books in terms of salary cap budgeting (CFO). I’d imagine Gardner would be spending most of his time looking after the Wests side of the business which...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    From memory Elliott’s contract was something like $1.4 mil over 3 years or something along those lines which IMO is perfectly reasonable for a solid first grader with over 150 games under his belt. Hethrington has been a disaster as has the constant contract renewals for Brailey. I mentioned in...

    Unfortunately there’s a lot of politics involved in junior rep teams and it’s not just confined to us. Mate of mine has 2 kids, the oldest went to Westfields Sports and played juniors for Wenty so pretty much got earmarked into the Parra development teams, his youngest who’s a much more talented...

    To be fair the Wests the knights have had a long standing history of doing very well in junior comps with the types of players mentioned so there’s going to be a lot of people who think that’s the best formula. One of the big issues is it takes years to build networks, teams like the roosters...

    Even the likes of Tapine, Lucas and Saf aren’t really juniors, all were signed as 18-19 year olds so were never part of any of our Mats and Ball teams. 25 years ago the junior landscape was very different, a lot of good country lads with good work ethic and fundamentals, these days it’s all...

    Cordner yes, Inglis played some footy at hunter sports high but never played in our system before he got shipped up to Qld, Latrell was passed over at Harold Mats trials

    The weekly Paul Carige award

    Josh Curran has this round’s award wrapped up with 4 clean unforced errors. SKD would’ve been proud of Curran’s efforts yesterday

    Yep Young played SG Ball and was quite decent but got banned for almost 2 years for an over the counter supplement and the raiders swooped in. Credit to the raiders they’ve done a really good job poaching gun juniors the last few years. The team that lost to the tigers today I’m pretty sure...

    Saifiti bros didn’t even come through our junior pathways, they were scouted as 18 year olds playing Ron Massey cup for Entrance and that was a good 10 years ago now. Best and Crossland are the only regular first graders to come out of our junior pathways the past 5-7 years 😒😒

    On face value yes but Votano and De Courcey have played mostly SG Ball with a sprinkling of Flegg. In the past decade or so we’ve had decent age grade prospect but we’ve done a pretty terrible job in terms of bringing them through from age grade footy to NSW cup. The past 7-8 years there’s been...

    All the knights players for mens and women’s had strong games. For the women Lilly-Anne white played fullback and had a solid game, great defence and good kick returns, very similar in terms of build and running style to Tamika Upton, Evah McEwen scored a great try and looked hard to put down...

    Jack Cogger

    Even on one leg he’d probably still outplay Cogger

    2024 Origin II - Wed 26 Jun - NSW 38-18 QLD @ MCG

    He was poor as a starting 5/8th with no legit halfback alongside him but he was a quality utility/running middle hence why we wanted to keep him.

    Api is just not great defensively, Robson might not be as craft as Api but he’s a stronger defender and arguably a better pure runner. Watson gives you backline cover and a dynamic running threat as well

    Jack Cogger

    Cogger is sooooo bad, he’s as bad now as he was at Canterbury, I would literally trade him for Brock Lamb right now who last I heard was playing for the Maitland Pickers.
