The three Knights players;

Michael Ennis must be a champion because he started at the same junior club as me (go the Swampies).
He is 18 but has played every game in Premier League so far this season. He started at 5/8 but moved to hooker after 3 games. Last week he was the best Knights player, and probably the best on the field, in Premier league against the Sharks. He scored three tries, set up another, and was making yards at will from dummy half. He has been one of our best in Premier League all season.

Robert Duffy was the captain and halfback of the Flegg side. He is a good, steady halfback and a competant playmaker, but I thought his 5/8, Brad Tighe, made him look good all season.

Riley Brown is a lock forward from the Flegg side. He started the season with a flurry of tries by running at the centres every time he got the ball, and he proved to be too big and too strong for Flegg centres. He ended the season with 10 tries from 9 games, but I think he only scored once in the last 3 games because he was a heavily marked man towards the end of the season.

Great to see Michael Weyman there, He really has impressed in his first few games of first grade. There is a couple of other first grader there so the junior blues should instil that losing culture into the maroons very early. :lol:
