    Our big money players are stars in rep games but rubbish when playing for us. No way around it - AOB, you don’t have the room. You have to go.

    Honestly, me. My biggest concern was his hands, but I knew he has the frame and mobility to suit Origin. He is hard. The Saifitis both step up for Origin. How about pulling your finger out for the club. The worst culprits here.

    I don’t think anyone wants to “over pay” Milford. We need to see what figures are being talked about for context. But I don’t think the Dolphins will be throwing him marquee money or anything given he’s coming off the scrap heap. If not for the Dolphins I think we’d be getting him cheap…now it’s...

    Yes as much as I don’t like being in a bidding war which wouldn’t otherwise exist if not a for an expansion club coming in. I think if you name the better halves out there that are “worth waiting for” (and they don’t grow on trees)…they would be Buckley’s chance of coming here. Milford is...

    Thanks. Sounds like he did himself proud. Good on him.

    He was captain of our NYC years ago and been in our NSW Cup for years before this season. He was always solid but I think he was deemed a Reserve Grade lifer. https://www.newcastleknights.com.au/news/2021/09/14/impressive-lock-hosking-wins-nsw-cup-player-of-the-year/

    I didn’t watch the Broncos game, but it seems Zac Hosking went pretty well?

    On a related note. I think the clubs without organising 7’s have to be creative. Jahrome Hughes and Hynes are both fullbacks who transitioned to 7…Hughes extremely well, Hynes doing ok so far. I would love to see Ponga have a real go at 7. He is best playmaking when getting the ball at...

    I think the problem is that decent organising halves are rare as hen’s teeth. I reckon all clubs would love one, but there are only a handful around. I don’t see any available for us to sign at the moment, or else I’m sure we’d be in for one. Tragic we missed on Reynolds last year (probably...

    Agree that the move across the world and change from ESL to NRL will be nervous. But Pryce is a lot more advanced than Hodgson was when we signed him. Hodgson was 17 and in the juniors when we signed him, Pryce will be 20 when he arrives and a has been a star in the top grade. I don’t think...

    Milford/Pryce/Ponga as 7/6/1 looks the plan. I don’t see us chasing a Brooks or anyone if we land those guys as planned. All great talents with playmaking skills. Pryce is back in the halves at the moment and done well the last couple of weeks. None of them your classic chief organiser though...

    “I bet you have no friends” . f**king hell. Thanks for confirming that you are a kid who started watching footy in the last couple of years. Lots of clues along the way so this couldn’t be passed up. Which would be fine. Except that you got your internet licence a few months ago, joined the...

    Most fans of all clubs on LU would know who Dobson was as general league knowledge. “Who the f**k is Michael Dobson?” - embarrassing when it turns out he played for the Knights who you supposedly follow not that long ago. It’s fine that you’re either clueless or a rookie. Just shut up and...

    Ok. You are doubling down because you downplayed Dobson when it was first announced, and then got upset when people said to steady on.

    Um, what? It’s general knowledge of the club to remember that a guy played for us, unless they were before your time. I absolutely remember Matt Minto playing for us. He didn’t do much either. Are you going to draw a blank when someone mentions Brayden Musgrove in a few years?

    He played NRL for the Knights in the Bennett-era, and had a half-decent career. Tough for a Knights fan to know who he is I guess. Good to have a 15 year old as the authority on people’s CV’s.

    @Sir Galahad your previous posts asking who is Dobson and calling him “some guy”. Do you actually not know who he is?

    Yeah I remember the same as you. He had a good Super League career. I am more than happy to give him a clean slate It sounds like he’s done a good job bringing young players through to seniors at Wynnum. That’s what our NSW Cup team will be all about the next few years. Assistant coaching...

    Did Toohey mention any of the other candidates for the assistant coaching role?

    Yep, and good on the club for going after some young talented second-rowers to fix a glaring weakness for us. KPP (supposedly), Hampson and Su’a signed on top of Keeley getting closer to seniors. Hopefully one or two of them come good.
