Knights set sights on Dockar-Clay

NEWCASTLE are considering signing promising Panthers utility  Zach Dockar-Clay.

A talented halfback or hooker and former Junior Kiwis captain, Dockar-Clay is a rising star who has yet to play NRL football.

The 21-year-old has several players ahead of him in the pecking order at Penrith and would have an easier path to the top grade at the Knights.

Penrith rate Docker-Clay and despite his tender years, he captained the club in the Intrust Super Premiership this season, leading them to a finals berth.

He is under contract for next season but the Panthers are considering releasing him if he can get an opportunity at the Knights.

In the past week Newcastle announced the arrival of premiership winner Rory Kostjaysn and forward utility Jamie Buhrer on multi-year deals.

    • LOL this guy has the record for most ever games in the 20's, and still hasn't played FG? He would at the Knights but only due to their poor depth. Not sure why we whine about young players we let go, just because they're "local juniors" doesn't mean they are good.
  • When I saw him play I thought he was talented. But I am not Gus Gould like yourself. So for

  • Another overrated eels junior talked up by eels fans before he left for Penrith.

  • One thing i did like about the kid was his footwork, good on his feet at times.
