Well it's pretty easy to speculate on the teams for next year.

Matts age group has been raised from under 16s to u17s - so same side as last year - just a year older.

Ball age group has been raised from under 18s to under 19s - so same side as last year - just a year older.
 
Draw is out for Matts and Ball.
4 out of the first 5 are away games, and then 3 in a row at Maitland sportsground.

No Naigolivia, Pezet, Vaile or Bradbury in the Ball side - so best 4 players not there. Don't know what to make of that.

No points and 5 interchanges in the last 20 minutes.
Typical Scott Dureau coached performance. No doubt players were moving all over the field in the last 20 to try out new roles.

either both teams have gone to sleep, or the update guy has lost his internet connection.
 
Ball team is top of the table after round 1.
This age group has pretty much been top of the table since they started playing together in 2019. In that time they have had 15 wins, 1 draw and a loss in 2019.

Mathews and Tarsha Gale are both 3rd.

Good to see Noah Nailagolvia back for under 19s. He might be on the bench because he is coming back from injury or something, but maybe they think he could be more effective as an impact hooker. He is very dangerous out of dummy half, even when he plays full minutes, so coming on fresh against tiring forwards might see him carving up.

Jye Linnane from Kurri would have to be the son or nephew of Steve Linnane.
Steve Linnane and his 2 brothers were from Dubbo, but they all ended up playing and coaching in Kurri.

Steve & Daniel were brothers but Jason was their cousin. But I'd say you are right Jye has to be the son of one of them.

Jason is going ok, last I heard he was GM of Singleton council.

Full squads named.
Christopher Vaile not named in the Ball squad. We know he's training with firstgrade, but he's still 17 I think, so too young to play till he turns 18.
How strong is our Ball forward pack if Bradbury, Matale and Crouch can't get a game. Bradbury and Crouch were outstanding for the Knights and NSW at under 16s level, and Matale is supposed to be our star recruit this year.

Probably looking to play them against men?

Bradbury re-injured the knee he had reconstructed then broke his foot in an accident so he might be a little way off full fitness at this stage.

Not happy about his injuries, but I am happy there is a reason he is not there. I rate him as the best I've seen since Kade Snowden on his under 16s form.
