I've rearranged the photos a dozen times capturing my favourite moments of the Knights and Dragons trial at the Maitland Sportsground.

There's still that kid inside me sorting out his favourite footy cards, cherishing every close-up encounter in real life with one of those stars captured on cardboard for immortality.
I'm by no means a photographer, I carry a camera by necessity but do love the snapshots of life I'm able to gather through its lens.
But sometimes you just can't frame the ingredients of a special moment. Thankfully the best live with you all the same.
Like the granddad asking his granddaughter if she wanted his autograph: "I was pretty good you know in my day."
Or Knights star David Klemmer walking back to his car after the game with his wife and two sons singing a favourite song which had been played during the warm-up before the game much to the delight of the boys.
Days like Saturday are about family fun, whether you're a Knights and Kanagroos star singing with your family or a granddad reflecting on past glories with his granddaughter.
I collected my first favourite moment on the way to the ground when I met young Knights tragic Oliver Paddison accompanied by his mum and grandfather.
A future Newcastle centre, nine-year-old Oliver never misses a Knights home game and the Maitland trial is all the more special because of its opportunities to grab autographs and photos with the stars.
"I want to be a centre or maybe a fullback like Kalyn Ponga if I don't grow too big. He is my favourite player, he gave me headgear after one game," the young Knight proudly informed me cherishing his own moment with greatness.
My next two involved David Klemmer, who given his size does tend to stand out in crowds and memories.
First was the juxtaposition of a group of East Maitland juniors chatting in the foreground while Klemmer and his Knights teammates mirrored them in the background - boys will be boys.
The second was a bent-over Klemmer posing for a photo but still dwarfing young Thornton fan Daley.
But if anything I'm unashamedly parochial and my two favourite moments were watching Coalfields boys Brodie Jones and Matt Soper-Lawler lining up in Knights colours and then the chance to meet up with Maitland rugby league royalty.
Rugby league runs through the Wright family's veins and the late, great Merv Wright's daughters Robyn and Joanne were among the fans collecting autographs of and photos with the modern day stars.
A Dragons fan Robyn was delighted and Joanne said Merv would have loved the day.
