I wonder if he’ll develop an aversion to air travel and they will have to feed him some ‘special milk’ to get him on the flight. #ateam
That's probably where Foxsports got their gossip from lol

Well done to Lucas and Sharpe making the pm side, not sure how we only got Jesse in the women's but surely Gallagher unless injured at least deserves a spot also

I think Gallagher is in the Australian train on squad, which doesn't mean she'll make the side, but still might.

Ok that will make sense as to why she ain't in this squad, thanks for that mate

A lot of the girls are also kiwis. Albert-Jones, Willison, Parker and Roache will all probably play for the Kiwi Ferns or at least be in the squad.
I’m sure Upton, Higgins, Gallagher and Clydesdale should all be in Aussie squad.

Fletcher Hunt is another guy who could be anything after a firstgrade pre-season.
I think we have him signed to a junior contract for a few years.
This was his first year at the Knights and he couldn't have been more impressive in Ball and Flegg.
He played 5/8 in Ball and mostly fullback in Flegg.
He's a big guy for a back and has all the skills.
Honestly, I'd give him a development contract ahead of DeCourcey, not because there is anything wrong with DeCourcey, but Hunt just seems to have a lot more potential.
He has an impressive highlights reel for 1 year. He is the flying mullet in 6 or 1.

Looks the goods, never sure about highlight reels but he certainly moves good, looks fast, scores and sets up

Pretty sure he would be 19 - too old for another year of Ball, 2 years of Flegg or higher - same age as DeCourcey and a year older than Votano.

Is there a factory somewhere in the Hunter churning out mulleted kids named Fletcher?

This one comes from out west.
He played Laurie Daly cup for the western rams side in 2023 and made a name for himself in the schoolboy comp. He also played for his local mens team.
2024 was his first year in an elite system.
The end of that article says he signed a 3 year deal with the Knights starting 2024, so we have him till he ages out of juniors at least.

I think a **** haircut is a requirement for the name ‘Fletcher’.

It seems to be the fashion these days.

Our women’s team looked a different side this year, possibly because we lacked authority up front, or other teams caught up, or change of women’s coach, but at times this year they lacked energy, slickness and execution.
Be interesting to see how they go next year, and I expect a positive bounce back in 25.

Wow Billy, Hunt really looks like he has it all in attack. What is he like on the other side of the ball?
He needs to be a good defender like Ethan Strange(Raiders) who is a great package for a 19 year old.

You can never tell at Ball level and he played fullback in Flegg, so hardly had to make a tackle, but he's a big kid and seems strong.
