    2022 Team

    Toohey is saying Mann has the 13 jersey currently. In that case I’d hope and expect: 1. Ponga 2. Lee 3. Best 4. Gagai 5. Young 6. Milford/Crossland 7. Clifford 8. Dan 9. Randall 10. Jacob 11. Frizzell 12. Barnett 13. Mann 14. Klemmer 15. Sue/Momoisea/Saulo 16. Fitzgibbon 17. Sasagi

    Honestly Mann. I’ve seen enough of Segeyaro to know he’s bad news.

    I could live with Milford for a year. Segeyaro, please no. Total knobhead.

    That’s like saying Slater should have been able to switch to 5/8 because Lockyer did.

    I don’t really know what happens with Hodgson. As much as I would love to see Ponga at 6, he seems pretty keen to be fullback.

    Confirmed Signings

    I think Bromwich has been pretty overrated for a while now. He had a few great seasons 2014-2016, but has cruised on reputation since then a fair bit. He’ll be a good get for the Dolphins as a leader figure but I’m not surprised Melbourne are ok letting him go.

    Darius Boyd at the Knights was when footy lost some of its magic for me. Especially at the expense of Kurt Gidley.

    What Phrases and Words Make You See Red?

    “Food for thought” A pretentious way of saying “I may be adding some genius here, but I don’t want to stand behind it in case it’s wrong.”

    Randall will do the job I think. He works hard in defence and has some toe and skill. I think his distribution has been unfairly criticised and I suspect will improve regardless. Luckily Brailey isn’t a playmaking hooker who’s impossible to replace in that respect. We will miss his leadership...

    How much salary cap relief would we get for this this season ? Or is that only if he got injured in a rep game ?

    Knights 2021/22 Off-Season

    Pretty tragic. Brailey isn’t a superstar, but we have put all our eggs in his basket. 2 out of 3 seasons that’s bitten us hard now. Looks pretty average that they haven’t planned for this after last time. Recently extended until end of 2025. I still have faith but it’s time we found a back-up...

    He’d be green but it could work. I agree with Axe that centre is probably the position that could play to his strengths most. I forgot to mention above, his best asset is his footwork. It’s not a big step but he stands people up with little feet, and he is strong enough to brush them when...

    I’m quite sure I’ve read he was a fullback and centre in the lower grades. And that he never played wing til he was in NRL. I’m struggling to find that stated anywhere official though.

    Knights 2021/22 Off-Season

    I’m not saying I think it’s likely. But Leilua strikes me as a toxic type of guy that you don’t want to keep around while he’s kicking stones. They might be inclined to release him early, give a younger backrower a chance from within a year early, and just want to get something out of it. I...

    I think Toa has potential and would find plenty of reason to be optimistic if I was you. I’m disappointed we won’t get the chance to see what he can be here. He is fast, deceptively strong, and has a crack. Played hurt at times last year. Knows how to get his nose over the tryline near the...

    You’d hope so. The other one I’m wondering is if the Tigers will release Luciano Leilua to the Cowboys immediately if they can get Toa. And the Cowboys will then release Luki to us. Pure speculation.

    Also I should add before he proves it next year. I think King is better than the other props on that list.

    I agree Sue fits the 4th middle spot in our full strength 17 better for the reason you mentioned. I’m not intending to debate anything. Just saying I think he has already shown he’s capable of it.
