Narrabri player revels in pivotal role

22nd May 2014

HE might have been thrown in at the deep end but Henri Knight is looking right at home at five-eighth.

The 19-year-old was thrust into the pivot role for Narrabri this season after plying his rugby trade as a half-back.

“I’d never played 10 before,” Knight said.

“I played half-back my whole life and wing last year.”

After seeing him at training and seeing his hands and watching him on his feet, Blue Boars co-coach Hunter Harley played him at 10 in the Blue Boars’ 50th anniversary game.

His performance there drew plenty of praise with onlookers, including Sydney University director of rugby Jack Farrer, commenting that he looked a natural five-eighth.
