Has the Knights Moved On From Joey's retirement?

[Pika]

Personally I put Bedsy in the same class as Johns.

 

[Joker's Wild]

I think the big difference between the loss of Joey and the loss of Bedsy is that the club has bought and structured well in order to cover for the void that Danny will leave. I think we were forced to cover for Joey 6mths too early due to his forced retirement.

bedsy was a massive player, and a legend of our club and state... however he's not in the same class as joey. no-one is... bar maybe king wally.

we will miss bedsy, but we're very well prepared now... and i think we can continue our momentum forward and up the ladder without him.

Buderus had been down on form for the last 2 years prior to this one anyway. He was superhuman at times this year, but that gradual decline was the toll of years of playing injured and above his weight. A legend of the club and game, but he wasn't getting any younger, and De Gois is potentially our best signing since BK.

 

[Frederick]

I am genuinely excited about De Gois coming here next year. I honestly cannot remember the last time we signed an already established first grader who is on the cusp of representative selection with the potential to be a superstar...my guess is BK was the last one.

It's funny that you regularly hear about Smith being voted the coach players least want to play under, but since he's been here we've had 2 blue chip signings in 2 years in Ben Cross and De Gois...more than we got in 6 years under Hagan

I gotta admit, I thought Newcastle would finish last without Johns.

But ultimately, Jobdog is gay.

Captain Fred on the other hand, is very cute.

I'm excited about De Gois. His ability to speed up the play is under valued and the Sharks will find out next year with a slow Corey Hughes.

De Gois is gonna kill it, will suit our playing style IMO, quick runs getting the opposition on the back foot and give Mullen more time etc.

Oh you! *blushes*
You can have my free bread anytime, Dean ;-)

 

[Hanscholo]

I think so.

The team i watched play this season certainly werent a one man band, despite gidley's best efforts.

 

[Luke Hatherley]

The Question is will the knights survive when the Kurt Gidley era ends

What is he 26?

I'm with Pika on Buderus, he is certainly up there with Johns in fact I'd go as far as to say Johns wouldn't have been as effective as he was without Buderus supporting him.

 

[IanG]

What is he 26?

Yes he is. He was 2 years behind me at school. (No bullsh*t)

Come on Ian I thought you were younger then that....
