Lamb, Phythian and Jack Johns would become our "depth". Ponga at a pinch I suppose too. Not exactly the stellar depth we have there now, but we'd probably get through.If Cogger and Hodko do leave, aren't we super bare in the halves?

I'd include Pythian too.You have to include Meaney in all that but yes Cogger is still important for 2018.
Even if we lose cogger and hodko that means that we'll still have three players to go into two positions, which should be enough.
Does anyone have info on how Jack Johns goes in the halves?
I could live with cogger and hodko going as long as jack johns is a player of talent.
My ideal scenario would be to get some money for Hodko and to release cogger and get a player swap with the bulldogs.
I normally wouldn't rate him enough for a mention but Brown seems impressed with Meaney as an outsider back upLamb, Phythian and Jack Johns would become our "depth". Ponga at a pinch I suppose too. Not exactly the stellar depth we have there now, but we'd probably get through.
I agree that the Knights are well within their rights to not release Cogger. At the end of the day, the Knights are in the business of winning football games, and as such, why should we release a player from a contract early, if we have no reason to do so?Source: http://www.theherald.com.au/story/5171199/jack-cogger-signs-two-year-deal-with-bulldogs/?cs=305
"Knights halfback Jack Cogger will immediately seek a formal release from the club after signing a two-year deal with Canterbury on Tuesday.
Cogger, contracted to the Knights until the end of the season, has signed with the Bulldogs for 2019-2020 but remains hopeful the Knights will allow him to leave for Belmore early.
“Jack is leaving the Knights for the opportunity to play in the NRL which is the only reason he is going,” Cogger’s manager Michael Newton said.
“The Knights have told us they won’t be releasing him early but we will still formally apply and see how we go.
“It is not too dissimilar to how Mitchell Pearce ended up at the Knights with the Roosters allowing him to go after they signed Cooper Cronk."

No reason why we should let him go immediately. We didn't get Ponga when we signed him, why should Canterbury get Cogger for 2018? Can stay as a reserve player in the event that Pearce/Lamb/Watson/(Hodko?) get injured.
