I'll have a go for the Knights.
1/ Peter Mata'utia - Johns/Carlsen medal winner as best junior at the Knights - NSW and Aus schoolboy rep - training with firstgrade. A fullback, winger or centre who was close to the best for the Knights NYC last season and goes into his 3rd season of NYC as a potential firstgrader this year.
2/ Josh Aioloami - giant Kiwi who played NYC last year, but still young enough for 2 more seasons of NYC. He started last year as a giant prop, but at the end of the season he was creating havoc as a wide running second rower. Turns out he is 120kg and fast.
3/ Zane Tetevano - another giant kiwi second row or prop. Starting his 3rd and last season of NYC. He was great for Cook Islands in the Pacific Cup and played 80 minutes in 3 games for them as a second rower. in 2008 he was a very lazy defender, but last year he was switched to prop and learned to defend, so now he just needs to keep improving at the same rate to crack firstgrade.
4/ Ethan Cook - NSW and Aus schoolboys rep who was young enough for Ball last year, but played NYC. Towards the end of last season he was a stand out in NYC, and he still has 2 years ahead of him.
5/ Kirran Shearer - Giant prop from the country who improved nearly every game last season. He was close to the best prop in the side by the end of the season - from an occasional benchie at the start of the year. If he kept up the improvement in the off season he will just about start the year as the best forward.
