6 SG Ball age players there.
I would have added T Beattie, J Trey-Stewart and S Sorovi if possible but I am just happy with the number of juniors there alredy to be honest.

Interesting that Hopgood and Doorey are not still rehabbing. Also, is that R Smith or do we also have a S Smith?
Its Sandon Smith. Newcastle have 3 halves
This he meant B Smith ( as in ex coach). He was a half from memory
They shouldn't be rehabbing. Their injuries are about 7 months old, it's generally a 9 month return to play. So being out there for start of pre-season is a good sign that their rehab is on track.
Roger that! Comment was because I thought it was closer to 12 months.
As you say, good news then.
S Smith is Smudge. He decided to recover from his neck injury with an NRL pre-season.
Shame he didn't bring marnus along. He'd make a great tackling bag
When will all those players get game time EA if Visconti, Lokeni, and T Beattie are still here?
I am happy with the junior overload but I want those juniors playing every week at least at Flegg level.
Yea most of these players will be starting the year in JF for sure.
It was so good to see those top kids out there and getting recognition from the club. I feel we are getting a glimpse of the beginning of our production line
