    Newcastle Knights young gun makes stunning contract decision

    The Newcastle Knights' centre stocks have taken a massive hit with young gun Wilson De Courcey rejecting the club's offer of a two-year contract extension.

    De Courcey made his debut in Round 5 against the Canberra Raiders, playing 40 minutes off the bench.

    One round later, though, against the Wests Tigers, De Courcey started the match but was targeted in defence and sensationally axed at half time by coach Justin Holbrook.

    The extension for De Courcey was offered prior to his mid-game axing and, according to the Newcastle Herald, he has opted against extending his stay in the Hunter Valley.

    The Canberra Times

    The grin from ear to ear said it all.

    Jordan Uta walked out of the Canberra Stadium sheds for his first Raiders captain's run and not even the bright sunshine could hide his radiance.

    It capped not only the 20-year-old's journey, but that of his family, who moved to Australia about 10 years ago chasing the rugby league dream.

    Not to mention capping a big year - marrying his now wife Shirley and welcoming his four-month-old daughter Ailani into the world.
