Boyd Cordner has apparently been signed for 4 years by the roosters.
He is a 16 year old who got one bench game for the Knights HM side in the last game of the regular season when several guys were rested.
He was picked for CCC and was one of the youngest guys at the schoolboys championship in Darwin where he apparently went OK (his brother Dane, an SG Ball regular for the Knights, played for the public schools team in the same tournament).

Anyway - huge rise to fame - about 10th choice forward for the Knights HM to roosters NYC squad.

Wasnt the limited number of games due to injury :?

Cordner was the star forward along with Jake Finn for Newcastle Harold Matthews the year before

Two of Penrith's under 20's are heading for Melbourne next season.

One is William Isa (Centre) the other is believed to be Mitchell Cahalane...but could be Tirini Arona.

I can confirm that both Troyden and Kahu have signed with the Cowboys after offers from several other clubs

I'd be very pissed off if that is true...I rate Theoharous very highly, he is deadset the heart and soul of our 20's team. Does what Dallas Johnson and Alan Tongue do for their First Grade sides. Penrith could do with Theoharous at lock next year in First Grade, we need players who play with heart and have a go.

It's in Big League, states that he hasn't received a solid offer from the Panthers and doesn't want to be lost to the NSW Cup playing for peanuts and has received a few offers from English clubs and is highly considering them.

Former Dubbo junior signs with Brisbane Broncos


A former Dubbo junior soccer player is ready to make his name with the Brisbane Broncos in next year’s Toyota Cup.

James Ackerman, 18, the son of Michael and Sonya Ackerman, has been signed by the Broncos.
Naturally, his parents are delighted that their second-rower has the chance to take his rugby league to another level.
“James started playing soccer in Dubbo under-7s for SASS and was coached by former NRL player Ronnie Gibbs,” Sonya said.
“Then when he turned nine, James switched to rugby league playing for St John’s under Trevor Woodham and Matt Walkom. He often played above his own age group and won three grand finals with the club.
“We then as a family moved to Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast when James was 11 where he continued to catch the eye of selectors and went on to make further rep teams and be a part of Mountain Creek State High School’s Rugby League School of Excellence.
“This group was coached by former Family Feud host Rob Brough who is now a Channel 7 newsreader.
“At the end of 2007 James was invited to join the Redcliffe Dolphins and hasn’t looked back.
“It has been there where he has been noticed by the Brisbane Broncos and rewarded by selection in the under-20s squad for 2009.
“We still have family and friends in Dubbo and James has former friends, team-mates and coaches whom we are sure would love to hear of his success.” Proud grand parents who will be watching the games live or on television next year are Alan and Kay McCarney from Wellington and Matt and Heather Ackerman who also live in Queensland.
