Kite

[Clifferd]

So I read that Brent Kite has been in talks with the Tigers and might make the switch next season.

IMO I've never seen the quality in him but he has represented Australia and NSW. What do you all think?

 

[gronkathon]

Don't rate him, on the downward arc.

Exactly what Sheens likes

 

[Matchball]

Yep, Sheens loves a washed up nrl veteran that we can pay over the odds for on a long term deal.

 

[Leaguelegend20]

I like Kite, he's a good, solid, hard-running prop. He's only 30 too...

Yep - great bench option.

 

[Pistol_Pete]

Old, shit and past it.
Much like Luke Lewis, Anasta, Minichello (who there were also rumours about at one point). Just how Sheens likes them.
Out of the Sattler, NIck Graham school of spasticry

 

[innsaneink]

He's been good in a good team, and with a contract up.
I just wonder how he'd go in a less go forward pack with his future sorted.
That said, any prop talked about these days is a bonus...usually a b/rower

 

[BuffaloRules]

Apparently Manly are going to go 50/50 on his contract next year, so it would only be an outlay of $150K...

I'd take him...

I would take anybody the way they are going today...

 

[Marshall_magic]

Can play left or right prop, Sheens will be all over this.

I'd take him at half price. Still got three years left in him.

Allows Bell to play 13 and BMM backrow.

 

[benched tiger]

Never been a great fan of his but if Manly are going to subsidize 50% of his contract there may be some value in bringing him to the club as he is still a better option than Groat.

 

[cerberus]

can we get gibbs back

 

[MadPie]

Can play left or right prop, Sheens will be all over this.

That automatically qualifies him as our next 5/8 or halfback :crazy:

 

[DanOz]

Perhaps our best prospect since Ryan O'Hara

 

[TheManBearPig]

FFS we don't need a f**king prop, we need a goddamm HALF-BACK!!!!!!!!

 

[brooksy19]

We don't need a prop?

Ahh yes we do, we can't have Woods play 80mins.

We need some depth ,when Keithy is either out due to a toe injury or a hammy for 14 weeks of the year.

 

[Tigers Tale]

Mentioned in the Telegraph again today he is linked to the Wests Tigers. Anyone heard any more about this?

Not too happy about this possible signing...

 

[madunit]

He'd be a good depth prop signing if picked up for 120k.

We'll probably throw 380k at him over 3 years.

 

[Tiger05]

I think he would be a great signing on the right dollars. A back-up prop would be perfect.

Galloway/Woods to start. Kite and a gun junior prop on the bench.

 

[Tigers Tale]

Yeah, I agree only if the price is right he would be OK to back up our starting pair.

I still hope we are saving for a half back. I bet if we do get a new coach the first thing they will demand (not ask for) is a half back. I still believe Miller, Humble and perhaps Chisolm, if given a real chance (and some faith and persistence was shown in them) they would have been fine for us this year in the number 7, in fact I quite liked Humble.

The fact is whoever was there, if left there would have pushed Benji back out to 5/8 and half the BS we had to put up with so far as shuffling deck chairs would not have happened.....
