"If you can't beat'em, join'em" ~ Kieran Foran, 2015.

Don't forget with reduced interchange next year players in the low 100kg's are potentially more desirable. Especially in defence when bigger players are less mobile and could struggle even more with extra game time.

 

[Tommy Coco]

is Cameron King playing any grade atm?

Who do NQ go to if Morgan is out, any chance of a call up?

 

[Stagger eel]

Agreed. DCE able to take the game by the scruff off the neck ? Hmmm dunno.

A mate who's heavily involved at a rival club just text me to say that manly definitely signed the wrong bloke, and this guy knows his shit...

Foran>>>>>>> DCE

I really hope Beau Scott needs a change of clubs, because we need alot more out of him for the next 3 years than what he's provided the Knights this season.

 

[roboshark]

He has been ordinary hasnt he mate

I thought Mick Gordon was great for Cronulla against us - though he did miss a few easy kicks at goal.

Those misses were Sandow-esque.

I miss Luke Burt's goalkicking prowess.

This is good thing, he will be on fire when he is with us

Usually its the other way around

Couldn't believe he missed - at the time, I cheered, but a gun kicker like him shouldn't miss those.

There's a chance to watch Keiran Moss this Saturday in the finals. Foxsports1 at 12:40

 

[hindy111]

Kieran Moss - Part of the side featuring Jennings-DZW that won under 20s.Aong with hooker Mosely these 4 where the stars.Moss being the guy everyone raved on about.
Since going too NSW cup he has had 2 season hampered by injuries otherwise would of played first grade by now. He is a tad small, but is lightning fast with great hands.

I think he will play first grade with us at some point -Thou im tipping King to be our buy of the season.If he stays it he is very good.

 

[hineyrulz]

Sounds like another Mullaney.

I havent watch a lot of Scott this year and we all know he isnt an attacking back rower. He is reknown for his defence which really can go unnoticed especially when on a poorly performed side.

I watch the last 20 minutes of the Knights game and Scott is still a pretty good defender. In the last 10 mins he easily stopped an attacking raid on his side with a perfect one on one tackle ball and all tackle. If that attack was against the eels, it would have been a try.

I reckon he will be very solid for us next year and won't disappoint.

 

[strider]

I just want him to bring his angry merkin face .... imagine an angry merkin face on each side of the field - Mau + Scott

He will need to be better for us next year than what he has provided the Knights this season. One thing he will provide is that Moeroa (and all our current edge forwards really) will get less game time, which will be handy for us.

 

[eel01s]

The thing that Scott will bring to our team is that the opposition will know that targeting his side of the field won't lead to easy tries being scored. Other sides will have to work harder in attack to score points against us.

Imagine if we had Scott and Foran this year in defence? We would have made the top 8.
