    Rumoured Targets 3

    Sounds like excuse making, but it’s not: it actually helps with recruitment to be a club located not that far away from where you’re trying to sign a player. Luai, Api, IPap & Turuva have not had to move house to move clubs. This is part of why every Raiders fan I know is so excited about...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Seems like something like that hey. Maybe his missus doesn’t get on with the other Knights WAGs? It sounds silly but it can have a real influence. Sincerely think it’s part of why Jacko is so overtly keen to make it work with us, whereas previously he’s been a bit “stuff you” when things aren’t...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Yeah he’s a proven starting calibre prop & I think he makes around $400K. Probably gives you about 80% of Leo at less than half the price, plays very physical and has good lateral mobility, & leaves space to sign another guy too. Not an excitement machine, but you need solid, consistent...

    I’d look at Oregon Kaufusi as his replacement. Probably someone else too since I suspect Hetho is not going to be re-signed.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Sharpe and Votano played a lot of junior fullback because they have a natural aptitude at it. What is the club supposed to do, wave a stopwatch in front of their face until they're hypnotised into being better at a different position? It doesn't work like that.

    He's also fat, lazy and shit at the position he wants to play...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    No spending big money on a hooker unless it’s a genuinely elite attacking 9 like Harry Grant or Api. Robson is a fine player but simply would not help us that much. Phoenix is not a great hooker, but he’s not a bad one, which is important to note here. Because the most common type of bad hooker...

    Close to the minimum I’d imagine.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I reckon it’s just a lot easier to tell if a fullback prospect is gonna pan out than a halfback though. And in terms of % of the cap, we essentially paid Kalyn what would now be $900K per season when we signed him. I reckon about $5-600K is a number which represents a fair bet on what Jonah has...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    They loaned out Harry Grant, but I guess Cam Smith missed about 3 games due to injury in his entire career, so they felt a bit more secure there. I’m not sure they’d put in the formal guarantee either tbh. I think it sends a bit of a weird message to Jahrome. He could still have as long as 7...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Yeah that’s what I maybe thought was the case, the Storm aren’t going to agree to a contract with the kind of guarantees he wants. Hey, you know where he’d be given whatever guarantees he wants?

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Someone on the other Knights forum reckons the club is looking at Te Maire Martin. My initial thought was “great, another journeyman” - but I remember thinking he actually played terrific filling in at 7 for Shaun Johnson this year. Perhaps not a coincidence - Tanah Boyd released by the Titans...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Gamble was re-signed because he’s cheap and if you look at the rosters POS has compiled previously, he seems to really value spine depth - depth spine players who actually have a position rather than utilities. Katoa, his son, Milford and Nikorima all signed for that first season from memory...

    … when Munny and Hughes are 32? I thought halves played well into their 30’s now…

    Rumoured Targets 3

    From what I’ve seen, he’s just very crafty, a natural at manipulating the space around the ruck and getting the right defenders interested to get his forwards pushing through the ad line, create space for his halves, etc. It’s always fraught comparing a guy to an elite player but I think Api...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Matt Arthur is a fantastic prospect. I think he’s going to be elite. We need a dominant #7. Would be very happy if we got Trindall. Then you’d hope someone in the system comes through and makes a fist of the #6 on the cheap. We’ve just watched a team go back to back with Mitch Kenny at...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Truly believe a team with 3 elite spine players and one they’ve economised on, who’s spent the money they’ve saved on elite middles, beats a team with 4 elite spine players and a weaker pack. One big halves signing is enough.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    He’ll get offers of $700-800K per season, probably 3 year deal. We can beat that going into the 600’s on a three year deal + a pay bump in 2025.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    He’s in the conversation because people on here originated it. Not because it’s reasonable. You need elite props to win a comp. It’s hard to find teams who’ve won without an elite, big money middle. Leo is approaching being a top 10 prop right now and at 24 + being a late convert to league...
