    Rumoured Targets 3

    The take from BLOKE IN A BAR podcast. Pains me to say it but I agree with it. The Knights have until the end of this contract to get to a GF and show we are serious about winning, or I can see Ponga in Bondi

    yeh fans. Someone somewhere must think differently, isn't he a u/19 SOO hooker? If so there are 2 possibilities - 1) the fans dont know what they are talking about or 2) the future of a key position in the N.S.W spine is dire. He must have potential.

    Moses as our half on the weekend we win. The end. Someone of his quality steering the ship and we are genuine contenders. Hynes is a second fiddle. Big pass. Money could be better spent elsewhere.

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    100% , I remember when Maloney signed with the Panthers it was delayed more when he ruined it by stating in an interview he was "waiting for the club to sort out the 3rd party deal" Many commentators only half joke about the Rorters and their brown paper bags....it's obvious to anyone that can...

    Old report (5 yr old) but nonetheless relevant https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/12/13/nrl-crackdown-leads-to-dramatic-drop-in-third-party-deals/

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    that's on the club, not KP - there are other players that could be offered 3rd PD ......and let's not pretend clubs have nothing to do with them. That's not dealing with reality. EDIT - + registered ( official) TPD are very limited. Pales in comparison to the over paying of an unacceptable %...

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    With arguably the worst halves pairing ( worst spine?) in the competition we finish 8th....... Just imagine what Ponga will do with a quality spine.....we are 3 high quality players away from a Grand Final IMO I could not disagree more. Every successful club has a player or sometimes 2 in the...

    I hope it's another Panthers Premiership. A fitting reward for a club that invests in, and develops its juniors ......anyone so long as it isnt the Roosters

    yep that's my take-away. Clear the decks and give the lad a team he can win a GF with.....or he'll go elsewhere and do it.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    What a strange little man - Arguing? No one is arguing. I dont look at FANTASY points to evaluate a player, or their worth under the cap. No one in their right mind would even consider it. It's designed as entertainment, and fan engagement that even 3 year old's can participate in , not for...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    He was signed a while ago so hope he was signed on 200-250K which means the Knights are paying him 300-350K. Either way given the average salary is 428K, he is good value. If we had more players giving more return for the money - like Lucas, Crossland, Croker, Leo, Marz filling out the roster...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    that's easy - the 4 game rookie is worth more than he's being paid = cap friend. The other ? collectively the reason why we lose = cap killer.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Better to ask the question - "can you tell me which coaching staff, recruitment officers, or any serious analyst in the game considers fantasy points ?" Do you think for one moment that the roster manager of any team in the NRL looks at fantasy points? Ummm how much of the cap should we pay...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    and that is precisely my point- a rookie on less money is better than the Elliots of the roster. The Elliots of the roster are collectively cap killers A rookie is better bang for buck and hopefully a closer emotive tie to the club = hopefully to stay for a bit less further down the track in...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    you cannot afford a top 6 7 and 9 when you have too many Elliot's, Brailey, Dsaf's, Hetherington etc in the side- that's the way the cap works Paying only 10% overs on your starting 17 and you'd already be over 1 million in the hole = a blue chip spine signing.

    lol pass the info on to the coaches buddy. There's a soft cap saver right there - just go straight for the fantasy points hahaha ffs

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I said it a while back and if reports are true then someone in charge of the roster agrees Have a peak at where Elliot is in lock forward stats - below average. A rookie on a pie and coke is better value to the overall roster and cap health. to illustrate what a pie and coke salary is...

    Brailey is all class. Easy to see why they nominated him Captain and not someone like Dsaf...

    that's a good point, I'll have a guess and say Pong wants a Premiership before he retires. Teddy retiring soon . He'll be a Rooster
