When I went to the Confroturnity shield in July this year in Brisbane. I found out that the player playing fullback for St Brendans Kurt Mann has signed with the Knights. They played in the grand final and won the game. He played AWESOME. He got named fullback for the Australian team. I have massive hopes for this guy and I am sure once he matures he will be the Knights fullback in about 3 years time.

Massive future this kid has, just hope he has a good run with no injuries
 
Except Gids has 5-6 years left in him, Mcdonnell more than that and Aku all eager to play in the fullback spot he may be a good player but hes gonna have to be Billy Slater good to crack into the 1st grade team especially in the next 3 years if not more
 
By the looks of him he could be better then Slater if he put his mind to it. Anyway even if he does not get it in the next 5 years. If we can keep him at least we know we have a very young player who could easily come up if needed
 
Was just talking to the Newcastle scout up here in Central Queensland who found Kurt. He couldn't say enough good things about the kid and his ability.
 
I don't get why we would sign a young halfback and a young fullback in the same year, with Mullen holding the 5/8 spot secure, and Gidley holding his position in either fullback or halfback?

McDonnell and Dureau haven't shown what they are capable of. So naturally we start looking for other options.
 
Have you not watched McDonnel for the past 5 weeks? He has been brilliant. and I was talking about the signing of Henry and now this kid, seems odd to me

Because if u want to win premierships you need good young players comin through on cheap contracts to keep the side as strong as possible all year. Mullen and Gidley are the two most likely origin players in the team, so why not back then up with good young depth? plus i'm guessing this guy is still a few years off first grade.

Just a snapshot at the young players we had coming throuh in our premiership years, who could play at close to rep standard, but not chew up large chunks of the cap.

1997 - McDougall, Cragie, Hughes, M.Gidley, Albert
2001 - Simpson, Abraham, Tahu, K.Gidley, Newton, Perry and Buderus

Some players were already established like Bedsy, Tahu etc. but they were still most likely on smaller contracts.
 
Who is Kurt Mann??
Age

History? & will he be playing toyota cup next year with newcatle?
 
He got named fullback for the Australian team.

I'd assume knights are going to develop him into a prop:P

Guessing he is still very young or he would of been heard of by now.

As I said before Kurt Mann plays fullback for St Brendans and at the carnvial I went to he got named Fullback for the Australian side. He got man of the match in the grand final. Iggy park ( Opposition in grand final). Bombed to him at least 10 times and he didnt drop 1. Looks very good under the high ball.

He is 17 years old as of this year

Not sure for exact but by the looks I would say around 175 cm and 80 kg.
