BROWN HELPS GAVET GROW
SoulTV with Pasami Saulo Ep.4
James Gavet may turn 30 this year but he’s still a student of the game.
The Samoa international has been in the NRL system for seven seasons and joined the Knights from the Warriors last year.
Arriving in Newcastle, the forward said learning from Nathan Brown was a major drawcard for him to leave New Zealand.
"I spoke to Browny only over the phone before committing, and I met him eventually when I flew in," Gavet told NRL.com.
"He's been really good for me not just with my footy and training but he's been really welcoming to me and my wife.
Brown hails Mann 'Kurt Gidley 2.0'
"I'm really enjoying being under Browny. He's helping me grow as a player. I'm not the youngest player anymore but it's funny, as soon as you think you're getting a handle on the dos and don'ts, there's always more to learn and something you can take from someone like Browny.
"There were other clubs that were interested. A few Super League clubs, a couple of NRL clubs but we heard about the direction that the Knights were moving in and we were ready for a change up and to venture out.
"I'm feeling as if my footy career would grow further here than it would at the Warriors even if it meant that I had to cop moving away from family again.
"Leaving my two kids back in Auckland was a big decision to make but we've been in contact and my parents and all my loved ones are happy for me."
