    Rumoured Targets 3

    This is a - Knights - NRL -thread - you ignorant or stupid? It’s rhetorical. If I’d asked what’s Harold Mathews Cup? would you propose I have a phobia of kids? What’s Hurling? – I’m bigoted towards the Irish? If you want to posture or pontificate on morality to give yourself that warm fuzzy...

    yeh a lot of bad luck in there. It could be argued champions make their own luck. within the last few years though we struck generational gold in Ponga and as yet have failed to capitalize. We had a seasoned half in the latter part of his career in Pearce and failed to put in place a pathway for...

    We're not "too shit" - statistically we're slightly below average. What's WNRL?

    Objectively the Knights are a less than average club. Last 10 yrs average finish is 11.3 . On the cusp of being in the bottom 25% of the competition. Last 5 yrs average finish is 8.6 . Factually just slightly below average. Next yr is 8 years since Wests have owned the Knights, and a...

    Think I read somewhere his partner is from there and her family is in Canberra.

    The process has been frustratingly slow! I'm now getting to the stage of dreaming for another Premiership before I die. Parr, and now Sully appear to be excellent appointments, and hopefully the hemorrhaging of staff has stopped - turnstile staffing is never a good indication of a happy...

    Totally agree with all of this talk of juniors etc. The Ponga bit though, no way known on earth would I ever move Ponga on. One of only a handful of players I've seen in over 40 years of footy watching that can single handedly win a Premiership for you. One of only a few that could pull it...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I think we have the roster pretty much confirmed for next year. Unable to shift a few that will see the end of their contract next year - I think then we will be in the market for the 2027 season. Sully will already be holding talks with a few players for 2027 as I'd imagine quite a few wont be...

    He would be the perfect mentor for our young high quality half that we are grooming to take the reigns.....if we had one. Pearce would have been the same ....if we had a young star that we were developing. Instead we gave Pearce a bloke named Kurt Mann, and blew the opportunity. Hopefully...

    looks like we have a pretty decent off field team assembled now ( with the exception Gardner ) - Parr and Sully have excellent CV's.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    "couple of years ago " is being very generous. The Knights MO has been in recent memory to offer mediocre players over valued multi-year contracts when no other club is in the bidding. I'd imagine the club has quite the reputation among agents. The Knights cap wouldn't be pear shaped if it had...

    much under-rated player. Given a chance at the dogs he'll prove a great pick-up and regular starter for them. yeh I don't buy into the media hype about the bloke. He's hardly a sure thing to be anything, and at the moment he's not much more than average. Looks alpha plays beta.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Parra would be looking to punt on a possible bargain, paying not much more than 1/2 of Brailey's salary would be too much of a risk on a proven net loss to the cap. Interview with Leo doesn't exactly sound optimistic - The Knights have also signed brother Tyrone Thompson, but Leo said that...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I take it that the Storm are open to a loan deal in 2026 should he re-sign and Hughes is still playing on. There were rumors some time ago that Hughes was keen to go back to QLD , maybe it's possible he does so in end of his contract in 2026...

    https://www.nine.com.au/sport/nrl/news-2024-the-mole-melbourne-storm-jonah-pezet-20241106-p5kok4.html The Storm have knocked back the idea of giving in-demand utility Jonah Pezet a loan deal for next season, but are open to letting him go for 2026.

    I'd say Parra want Knights to kick in too much for an immediate transfer. He's on something like 650K? Only worth 400K -450K taking a punt.

    Hastings, Brailey, Elliot, Hetherington, KPP are the main contracts that end 2025. About 3 million in cap

    Rumoured Targets 3

    That's 120K . If so offering him 500K is a huge leap, and you'd think enough to get his signature. I was thinking he'd be on more than that, and it would take a bit more to get him to Newy. Exactly why I mentioned earlier - to have a young fella like Pezet at half you'd need to provide all the...

    I was thinking a bit over that considering it's nearly the average NRL salary these day and the position is play maker. Statistically he is a risk though, he's a higher likelihood to do do another ACL How much you think he's on at the Storm? I wonder of that is enough to get him to pack the bags

    Rumoured Targets 3

    How much is he realistically worth? and how much would it take to pry him away from the Storm? The way to market looks, and our dire situation maybe he is worth a Ponga style punt... Wouldn't want him on loan though.
