Where that big man child Balmain Tigers red-headed winger from Harold Matts?
Doesn’t he go to school, surely he gets selected?

Yeah he has been playing for Holy Cross Ryde I think. Nope wasn't selected, nor was James Lanyon or the Finau twins.

Yes it's a very low representation, especially for a 'wannabe development club'.
Thanks for sharing though.
Hopefully we're ready to pinch a few prospects from other clubs

Sometimes I wonder whether nepotism & favouritism plays a part here like it does with the NSW women's origin squad.
His name is James Kerr from memory?
He should have been selected based on his size, speed and physicality alone, but he also seems to have good footy IQ to go with it.
I agree you would think at least one of Jane’s Lanyon or the Finau twins would be selected.

Awful
Pretty disappointing and it probably highlights that we need to have more funds & efforts put into the pathways. If we want to bring juniors through to NRL we need to invest more dollars & effort into nurturing the kids.
Knights have been strong in junior reps the past couple of years and won Under 17 Harold Matts this year.
Unusual that the QLD players are all linked to the Titans. I know a lot of the league schools are based on the Gold Coast, however would have through the Broncos would have some good juniors locked up
