Mathews and Ball 2024

Junior draw is out.
Not many games at the CoE for some reason.
Maybe the grandstand will be under construction.
They are playing all over the place - Cessnock, Charlestown, Raymond Terrace.
First games the first weekend of Feb at St Johns Oval Charlestown
 
I found this on a Manly Warringah forum:

“Poor recruitment and retention from our club in loosing respected pathways guru Hanna Clare from our football staff. Hannah is one of the best pathways administrators in the game and seems to of been recruited by the Knights to head up their pathways.

Since Hannah’s departure in September I’ve heard many parents and players say our pathways have not been run with the same professionalism with some parents suggesting they would follow her to Newcastle to be in a junior program under her leadership”

Looks like our Lower grades are going in the right direction with Hannah and Adam Blaire in charge

Superb news. Losing likes of Leon and Dom mean nothing when we are establishing our juniors to be a powerhouse for decades to come. Big moves by the club.
 
Still crap that the club even though improved slightly with creating a pathways page on Instagram, still won’t announce their squads and give out information about trial games etc but so many other teams do
 
Last trial was on today - v Titans in Coffs
Titans did an article on it yesterday and might have the results next week.
Nothing from the Knights, as usual.

Players to watch: Future Titans v Knights

It will be a Super Saturday of footy in Coffs Harbour this weekend when the Future Titans take on the Newcastle Knights in four massive games.

I wonder if the Knights know they actually have fans that are interested in whats happening. Seems to be they have their heads shoved up their ****!
 
About 10 days from now we will finally get to see the first round teams for 6 junior sides - after hearing zero all off season.

Tarsha Gale is the most important IMO. I firmly believe we will see 4 or 5 players graduate to firstgrade from Tarsha Gale this year.

I see Cooper Votano as a 6 in Harold Matthew’s, guessing he is the brother of Conor, anyone know if he shares the same ability?
 
All 4 junior games now moved to Cessnock, which is good - easy parking at Cessnock - Charletown is always short of parking - you ether get there early or walk - and Cessnock is more comfortable.
 
New names and what I could find on them:

Aidan Gow - From Barooga with a background in union, aussie rules and 100m sprinting from what I can find, don't see anything on him as a league player from before today.

Neyon Taito-Makea - Was with the Cowboys last year and has been in some junior QLD sides and some union ones too but everywhere I can find he’s named as a winger or fullback and now he’s playing prop for us. There’s an article that talks about him being tall so he must’ve filled out.

Ezekiel Ieti - Also goes by Zeke Faga or Faga-Ieti, prop from Christchurch who was with the Warriors.

Jake Bryan - Younger brother of Paul Bryan from the first grade squad, also from Mackay.

Wil Hope (19th man) - Was announced as a signing midway through last year, lanky back-rower from Townsville.
