You two from The Wrong Side Of The Chocolate River's Tributary that don't even live on the same continent any more; Stop being nasty to our new pet Australian, you're only jealous because you haven't got one.

Nah, he's just over there blocking the progress of promising young Australians in whatever line of work it is that he does.

Clint Newton spent about 6 years at Knights junior elite club Valentine/Eleebana and about another 10 years at the Knights from age 14 or 15 till his mid twenties - then he spent a year at Melbourne.
He was never more than a fringe player at the Knights except for maybe 2 seasons including the one where we won the wooden spoon. He was on far more than he was worth, and wouldn't take a paycut, so he walked out.

In short - he improved heaps when he left the Knights, and Melbourne didn't have time to get the best out of him.

Chortle! There should be a cap on well informed foreigners on rugby league.

roopy would have had a much better and more informed opinion of ESL if Sheldon hadn't held back his progress.

Just looked up Newton's wiki page, and he played 15 games for Melbourne in 2007.
He did his pre season with Newcastle but walked out without playing a game. He didn't debut for Melbourne till round 13 after he sorted out his legal issues - so basically his time at Melbourne was half a season and didn't include a pre season.
