Around the Grounds

Also add to that Moses and Brown have been playing together for a fair few years now

I can’t remember the last time we had the same halves for more than one season

not just the halves, our spine has been like a merry-go-round for far too long, particularly 5/8 and hooker.

If Clune isnt the player the Knights want long term then they need to determine who is and lock them in asap.

You have to have an honest think about Brailey's future too. He has missed a lot of game time and you also have to wonder whether his playing style is suited to footy now. Definitely not questioning his attitude, defence or the added leadership out there though.

One more injury away from being a disaster.

Not sure there was any mention of it but Luke Brooks re-signed with the Tigers for 1.1m...

Luke Brooks is reportedly set to end his contract saga and will activate the final year of his contract with the Wests Tigers.
The star halfback will reportedly see out the deal which will see his salary rise to a staggering $1.1 million in 2023

Tells me two things.

1.Brooks is there for the payday and doesn't care about his career. I guess when you're on that much you just suck it up?

2. The Tigers were damn mad giving him that after years of delivering 90% average performances.

 

[TooheysNew]

Not a re-sign, just seeing out his current deal.

If his options were taking the 1.1 to stay at the Tigers, or realistically cutting to probably close to half that to play elsewhere, I don't blame him for the choice.

Yeah not as half bad when it’s just him exercising his clause.

I still stand by it’s an odd choice since he appears unhappy there but perhaps you do suck it up when it’s that much coin.

To'a named at fullback for the Tigers with Laurie out. Was his best position as a junior but was stuck on the wing in first grade.

 

[Yosh]

To'a was one I hope we kept and developed. He should have been ahead of Hoy all of last season to deputize Ponga...

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Toa sucked yesterday and has been pretty awful in his games this year for Wests

He has 100% justified the club in letting him go

 

[Yosh]

Watching the Panthers play, they move fluidly when they attack. Their attack is set up very deep and every player looks like they might get the ball. We still have a long way to go before our attack is anywhere near the top.

 

[Yosh]

Both the Storm and Sharks come out every week to 'PLAY' football. The balls swiftly side to side and and the skills on show from every player on the field is amazing. To be fair we look as good as anyone with effort in defense but we are far from the top teams in terms of skills and play in attack.

This Jesse Ramien guy goes alright…wish we had a centre like him

We had one with the same name but unfortunately he was a dumb, foot handed skirt.

Lol…just got duped by a Munster dummy to let a try in

Haha hasn't changed

The best teams seem to have their 7 on the right and 6 on the left. Maybe Clifford and Clune should change jerseys!

Crossland, actually all of our halves, need to go to the same draw-and-pass school Hynes went to.. He does it so nicely and straightens up the attack too.

We never take it to the line, just side to side, with no depth and expect our players to do something special.

I hope Ponga makes a decision soon because Munster's added another 100k to his next contract, tonight.
