2017 Harold Matts and SG Ball

Junior awards night - updates on the Knights twitter page.
First award - Max Buderus - under 16s coaches award
 
Danny Buderus encouragement award to Bradman Best
H Mathews player of the year - Christian Ma'anamia
 
Carlsen award goes to Matt Croker - second year in a row it's gone to a prop (last year was Pasami Saulo)
 
The Croker brothers, Mat and Harry, both tick a lot of boxes.
They both play long minutes, make very few mistakes, always do more than their share of the work.
They aren't guys who stand out a lot, but they get through a mountain of quality work during a game.

How doesn't the coach who took the Knights Harold Matthews cup Grandfinals the last 2 years get a gig. Poor Moz.
Knights are a complete joke. Disgraceful how they have treated him. No wonder some of there best juniors have left.

We haven't seen the full details yet, but Wests have indicated that they are expanding the high performance program and that Dureau and Kostjaysyn will be also working as skills coaches too, so you would think they will be fulltime employees. I'd imagine they will also have assistant coaches.
Anyway you look at it, it looks like more money is getting spent on fulltime coaches for the Mathews and Ball squads, so I don't know how that's a bad thing.

As they said in the Sunday paper a few weeks ago - having Kosjaysyn, Dureau, Lowrie, Woolford and Brown as our coaches means we have recent NRL experience in the coaches of all 5 grades.

All played hooker to... which is where everything begins
 
There was an interesting article in the Sydney Herald last week about Manly raiding Western Sydney for juniors. They pointed out that many of the players in the under 16s side we beat in the grandfinal were being bussed in for training. They used the term "they are fishing where the fish are". I think they said Manly have never won the under 16s, or maybe they said they haven't won for decades.
We have made 3 of the last 4 grandfinals, and won 2 of them.
