Ex-Knights Watch

Sione says Kristian Woolf was trying to get him to the Dolphins but it fell through, and he turned down a meeting with Benji Marshall due to not wanting to live in Sydney, but is still open to playing professionally again in the right circumstances.

Zach Herring & Clay Webb both signed with Featherstone Rovers in England. Both played most of the year in NSW Cup but Herring was in the development squad.

Hi, I'm a Featherstone Rovers fan, interested to read Knights' fans views about Herring and Webb from those who have seen then play NSW Cup.

Featherstone are in the Championship (2nd tier) of English RL and have been knocking on the door of SL in recent years, although the new IMG grading system very much counts against us. We have also signed ex-Knight Carlos Tuimavave for 2025, whilst we had another well-known (am tempted to say notorious) ex-Knights centre play for us in 2022 and 2023, one Joey Leilua.

Webb was a long time reserve grade player at Canberra Raiders and came to Knights last year in an attempt to break into the NRL. He is just below NRL standard and could be an ESL player, so he should be very good at your level. He is a small prop or second row.
Herring Is a very capable 6, 7, 9, or 13, but not quite good enough in any position to break into the NRL. He should be a good pickup for you - he can fill any of your spine positions.
 
Just read an article on new Lake Macquarie Mayor Adam Shultz - Says he was a Valentine and Knights junior who played alongside Anthony Tupou and Anthony Quinn in the juniors.

In other news, Mitch Black, who was a top squad player in 2021 and represented for NSW at every level, has started a train and trial deal at Parra. To be honest, I think he will be better than Arthur.
 
Hope these guys have as much patience as Jordan Mailata did, and certainly more then Valentine Holmes did

Wouldn't surprise me to see more Polynesian players with their freakish builds and athleticism going over there the way Mailata did but it's a huge learning curve and process. Even someone like Mailata got a bit fortunate a spot opened up for him through injuries at the right time and he got quality reps with the first team.
