Has this been reported somewhere or is it more what you’ve heard and scene so far as I have t seen the club do any announcements on the squad yet unless I missed it.
Is Jarome Falemoe still around as he was one of our best centres in sg ball/flegg last year

Bummer about Nailagoliva.
Afoa looked pretty good as well but was travelling up from Western Sydney to play and train and has already played for about 5 clubs so not really a surprise.

As I said - found that list on a site after a google search - I've added the link to the site.
I can't say if it's accurate, but I can think of others who should be there.

I think a change of club might be good for him. He seemed to be going backwards with us.
But one of my favourite players. Him and Tom Starling are my alltime favourite Knights juniors.

Fletcher Hunt has been close to the best player in Ball this year (together with Hopwood) and should play 6 with Sutton at 7. You have excluded Beau Slade who is in his second year of Ball (played NSW CHS last year) and was great off the bench today, as he was last year.

It's hard to keep track these days.
10 years ago we got 2 or 3 imports to the juniors each year. Now, we get 15 or 20 guys a year. 12 months ago I'd never heard of Sebastien Sua, Kyle McCarthy or Jermaine McKewn, and now they are all future firstgraders.
Dobson seems to have recruited a very long list of mostly Queenslanders this year.
In short - it used to be easy to keep track of players as they progressed through the grades, but now, we get more new players in SG Ball than we do in firstgrade and very little information about them.
Dobson is probably the only guy who could put together an accurate list of our best squad right now, and even he would come up with a completely different list in a few months, after we have seen how they all play in actual games.
Hunt lacks Linnane’s speed but is more robust. His versatility is an advantage, as yesterday in Ball he played the first half at 5/8 than went to hooker early in the second half and then replaced Aoke (HIA) at left centre in the last 10 minutes. A future 14 as he progresses through the grades.
I went over to the Centre of Excellence yesterday to watch the junior reps.
It was a difficult day for any player to stand out as both games were very physical and generally played through the centre third.
We were well down in both games and showed immense character to fight back. The Matts boys have done this in every game. Their full back Blair showed class in the difficult conditions, great hands and speed, Sommerville in the centres is very physical and came up with some great try saving defence. Busted his shoulder late in the second half putting on a big hit.
The Ball side were totally out played in the first half. The Dragons were too physical on both sides of the ball and exposed us with their pace out wide.
The second half started with a hip drop tackle on half Lozza where centre Wilson DeCourcey really resented the tackle on his team mate. He had a fair bit to say which fired up his team mates and changed the course of the game. Our boys started to play more direct with more physicality and began to wear down the bigger Dragon’s pack. They played the long game and came up with the match winning try right at the end.
It was a great team effort, DeCourcey had a great second half, Hopwood and Slade were strong in the middle.

So DeCourcey is a potential future NRL player?
Give him this SG ball season to see how he goes, lots of good talk about him from Penrith. If he gets a chance in Jflegg that'll be interesting. I believe Aoake played planty of flegg last yr who is the other SG centre and Aus school boy.
My guess would be that DeCourcey goes up to Flegg this season, once the Ball competition is finished. Then next season he goes into NSW Cup as a 20 year old and has a year there to develop his game in open age. The Club will likely resign Gagai for a further season (2025) with the succession plan being to replace him with DeCourcey in 2026.
