Quote: Mild Rover "Played just the 1 first grade game for the Knights has he? Not knocking that, fine achievement - but that's horrific result for a senior England team.
I'd normally now make the point that 'SL coaches insistence on signing journeyman Aussies' is a symptom more than a cause of our shallow talent pool, but the England Knights development squad hammered Samoa. Just got to hope it was one of those freakish things or it could be 2008 all over again. Tbh, there was always a danger of that anyway.'"
To be fair to him, the Knights have four world class players in Boyd, Uate, McManus and Kev Naiqama ahead of him for the back 3 spots.
Josh has been top point scorer in NSW cup 2 years in a row and scored a record 300+ points last year as well as making the NSW cup team of the year both years.
He is also 6'6" tall and is the only Knights player to ever beat Kurt Gidley in a beep test (he is a personal trainer by profession). He is also the best goal kicker I've seen.
He is about 27 years old and is one of the few players going around that never had elite level junior training, but he is basically a freak athlete who has learnt the game as a mid twenties rookie.
