So is there any free agents out there or realistic targets people would like signed?

I think we still need a bit of cover in the 3/4's, maybe look at Aaron Gray or Kane Linnett or someone similar. I think Franklin might have mentioned Baptiste, that wouldn't be a bad pick up IMO. May be out of our price range & not sure how gettable he is but I'd love to try & get Ben Murdoch Masila back from England & play him as a roaming prop ala Fifita.

I'd like Taupau. Use him as an impact forward would round out our pack pretty well.

I’d take a punt on Isaac Luke.

OMG you bring nothing to these discussions.

Absolutely nothing.

Wake me up when you have actual analysis to contribute, until then you’re a waste of my time.

Lmfao. That is because I disagree with you.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Hook wasn't coach when we had no idea how to score v Newcastle.

I don’t think we can judge much of anything on 5 games or so.

But over the course of a whole season he should be able to break out of the Hook coaching mold if that’s what has been holding him back.

No, it’s because you offer no actual analysis. You don’t seem to know much about football at all.

You’re a complete lightweight.


I disagree with MX on this but at least he offers something to back up his opinion. You offer nothing.

Oh I do, you just disagree with it. This is called an opinion based forum, so I offered mine. It is that simple.

I think waiting another 3 seasons for him really to step up is giving him way too much latitude. Really good players overcome adversity, and the adversity you’re talking about is pretty minor.

If it was just coaching it will come sooner. I think it was a combination of the above it will take longer

Ideally Koroisau and Taupau

Realistically. Sam Tagatese as a depth prop he has won a GF, Bowen from Cows as backup centre and Baptise. all would be close to minimum wage and imo would offer more then Coleman etc would

I’d take a punt on Isaac Luke.

I think he's too lazy, and with his shoulder problems not worth the risk.
Matt Parcell would be a better bet.

I think Luke need a shoulder recon. Knights appeared to have gone cold on him.
I like Parcell. Doubt it happens though.

According to the Mole The Knights are trying to offload Nathan Ross.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Wait, did I miss something? Are we now arguing over Nathan Clearys ability?

Y’all are getting yourselves if you don’t think he’s a going to be a super star.

The Johns brothers have both stated that he’s going to be better than Cronk. He has the ability and work ethic to make that a very real possibility.

What a stupid arguement.

While I agree about his talent the Johns brothers have shot their loads over many a young player and been wrong

Didn't he sign a decent deal? If Knights are paying most of it. I'd take him

So has this forum.

I can see no reason to doubt them, Freddy pick him as the NSW 7 for a reason.

Matt Parcell is a very good player, is he even an option?

There's a hooker in the super league who looked like a gun. Played for Manly I think. Wish I could remember the name.

Matt Parcell? He plays for Leeds and previously has played for Manly?

So we're talking about the same guy? He looked like an absolute gun. Would be cheap for an opportunity in the NRL as well.

I’d say so. I can’t think of any others that match your description.
