Smokin' Joe's glorious juniors thread.....2021 edition.

13. Jack Gunton.
Originally from Scone, personally think he might kick on further. Old school type of lock (tough, hard worker in middle and a good defender and will toughen up middle in attack and defence).

Think you might be on the money with this kid Joe ... very likely looking cove ..
 
SON’S SHINING BRIGHT FOR MANLY CEO

There’s one important player negotiation coming up at Manly that CEO Stephen Humphreys is avoiding.

Humphreys’ teenage son Jamie — rated one of league’s most exciting halfback prospects — is off contract at the Sea Eagles this year.

Jamie Humphreys is an SG Ball rookie with a stack of ability who is now attracting interest from rival NRL clubs. Good judges rate him as potentially a future Daly Cherry-Evans.

Jamie doesn’t have a manager and has relied on advice from his dad. But the Manly boss says he will step away from negotiations to avoid any claims of nepotism.

“Jamie is one of many talented juniors coming through the Manly system,” Humphreys said. “We have a very experienced recruitment manager in ‘Crusher’ Cleal and coach in Des Hasler who will ensure his contract and development is well managed.

“Jamie is really ambitious and dedicated to being the best he can be with his footy and his studies. His mum and I are proud of him and, like any parent would, we hope his hard work is rewarded and he achieves his goals.”
 
What's the go with extended benches in juniors? Do players like watmough drop back to matts or miss out, or do they actually have more interchange.?
Pretty sure watmough is turning 19 this year which means he would be too old to play matts but don’t think the other blokes named on the extended bench get a run unless there’s injuries before the game or a late change.
 
Has anyone got or know where to get a schedule of the manly matches we can watch online and where NRL or FB etc e.g the SG ball Canterbury cup Harold Matt’s etc
Cheers
