Four Newcastle Knights have been selected in the Under 18s NSW representative team for their annual interstate clash against Queensland as the curtain-raiser to Origin II on Wednesday June 17 at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Knights Brock Lamb, Jack Cogger, Brodie Jones and Jayden Butterfield are among the 29-man Todd Payten coached team.
"This side is extremely strong and very experienced," NSWRL Performance Programmes Manager Jamie Feeney said.
"Ten of the players are playing Under-20s in the Holden Cup this year and are exceptionally talented players."
Coached by Payten, the final team will be named this weekend featuring the best up-and-coming players developing through the young ranks in NSW Rugby League.
