The future of the nib Newcastle Knights is in safe hands.
A development club, the Knights are spoilt with a rich nursery of talented youngsters scattered across every level.
The strong pool of junior talents has been highlighted by the heath selection of Knights at the representative level.
After the success of the Knights' junior representative season, many of the talented young guns have continued their representative program by participating in the various NSW Schoolboys trials.
"It's a credit to the program to have so many players in the age group picked in the state teams," Newcastle Knights Elite Pathways Development Coach Scott Dureau said.
"It's a credit to the players for the hard work they've put into training and playing each week."
"We were always going to produce good talented players.
"It's a about keeping that progression going from 20s, Cup and first grade and trying to get as many of our homegrown kids through the program as we can."
