Austin and Moses? There’s 20 missed tackles a week there.

The tigers split up Moses and Brooks because you cant win in today's NRL with two halves who cant tackle. You can absorb one but two gives teams options either side of the ruck...

What on EARTH would give Parramatta the impression that could work?!

Watching Parramatta this year why would you think they have any idea on what does or could work

Just this year? Don't sell them short, they are not noobs to the clueless & hopeless stuff; Foran, Watmong, Hayne, cheating to win spoons and recording their mischief in the minutes.

They might revive the 1 marker system to get an extra body in the line to help Moses/Austin.

Cronulla is threatening to rain on Newcastle’s parade and hijack the Knights’ bid to sign Sydney Roosters winger Blake Ferguson.


In an ironic twist, Newcastle’s successful raid on the Sharks, that snared outside backs Jesse Ramien and Edrick Lee, may come back to bite them with Cronulla poised to make a last ditch play to secure Ferguson because of their thinning backline stocks.

Suddenly, a three-way battle for Ferguson’s signature involving the Knights, Parramatta and the Roosters has just got a little more complicated with the Sharks now circling.

We’re told Shane Flanagan met with Ferguson privately a few days ago and pleaded with him not to make a final decision on his future until the Sharks coach returns home from Auckland following last night’s clash against the Warriors.

Cronulla’s 11th hour bid has Knights insiders more than a little nervous but still hopeful the club’s offer will be good enough to entice him north.

Blake Ferguson


Why Flanagan thinks it’s a good idea to re-unit Ferguson and Josh Dugan is anyone’s guess.

But as it stands, the Knights are offering Ferguson a lucrative three year deal, the chance to buy a house for the first time and work opportunities outside of football in the indigenous community when his career finishes.

Ferguson’s manager Sam Ayoub is believed to be chasing four years for the 28-year-old but Newcastle isn’t budging and he is unlikely to get that deal at any other club.

We’re told the Roosters offer, at this stage, is for just one year and they will struggle to get near the money the Knights are talking.

In the Roosters’ favour is Ferguson has made it known his first preference is to remain at Bondi.

Knights halfback Mitchell Pearce, a close mate of Ferguson, has been working the phones, hoping to help get the deal over the line but even he is not sure which way it will go.

Doesn’t bother me either way. He’d be a good signing but we’ve got plenty of outside backs anyway. Should use the money to get a good front rower.

From what I've read Brad Arthurs think Mitchell Moses and Corey Norman are bad fit and Arthurs wants a running five-eighth to play next to Moses which is what Blake Austin is. Austin wants to return to Sydney and is willing to take a year deal to try and show Parramatta he is worth a big contract.

I've read comments from some who think Moses should be gone rather then Norman. Knights, Titans, and Broncos have all been rumored to be interested in Norman. But probably more likely Knights.

Bryce Cartwright has asked his management to look for a new club. He has been playing the last month in Titans feeder club and apparently is not happy about it. Garth Brennan has denied shopping Cartwright around and has also denied his attitude has been poor but said he wouldn't stand in his way if wanted to leave either.

He's just a skinny Dave Taylor.

If ferguson wants to go to a club with a chance to win a premiership, it should be parra and not the sharks. He will be surrounded by too many pus$ies down there.

Probably all talk, he's on a stupidly massive contract ($700k a season?), no way an NRL club would sign him for half of what he is one. Would be a blessing for Titans if he did leave however.
