The talented half was touted as a future star of the NRL after winning the 2009 NYC Player of the Year award while at St George Illawarra.

Henry re-signed with the Dragons after extended talks with coach Wayne Bennett. He never played top grade for the Saints and transferred to the Newcastle Knights for the 2011 season playing a handful of games.

With Bennett headed to Newcastle in 2012, Henry left for the Gold Coast where he managed just 8 appearances.

Henry has spent the last four years at Wentworthville.

Mounties

A Penrith junior, Satini scored his NRL debut for Manly at centre in round 3 of the 2014 premiership against Parramatta. He wouldn’t play another game of first grade.
