Knights 2021/22 Off-Season

[Mr_Knightside]

How much we paying for the spoon? Might be a good time to get on.

 

[Knight Tales]

No halfback and no dummy half. Looks like that million dollars better be spent creatively.

 

[ryan.a87]

How would Clune or Crossland go at hooker?

 

[Jono078]

Wasn't there talks of Josh Hodgson getting out of Canberra for this season?

We have the cap space to pull it off for a season and the chance to play with his nephew.

Or do we just go with a young fella like Kurt Mann.

 

[Jono078]

How would Clune or Crossland go at hooker?

Actually I do like this! If I'm AOB I'm telling Crossland he is training as a hooker from Monday onwards!

 

[Johns Magic]

How much salary cap relief would we get for this this season ?

Or is that only if he got injured in a rep game ?

O’Brien should use his Storm connection and try to get Smith for a year.
He could offer up Young for the season as a sweetener, they are short of outside backs.

Man... Not looking good eh? Any positives to speak of??

Saw a thing on Twitter about how the NRL is at the forefront for recovery from these Achilles injuries and a few players have been back in 5 months.

If this happens for Brailey we’d have him back for the last couple of months of the season.

Yeah, only rep games.

Nice to have the season f**ked before a ball is kicked.

 

[ryan.a87]

Call me optimistic…but the reports say 5-8months….if he were to return in 5 months….that puts him at a round 10 return….which isn’t entirely the worst thing in the world

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

We seriously don't f**k around when it comes to injuries do we?

 

[Knight Tales]

Hard to play the patience game for recruits when your current spine is 50%.

It is if you’re 0-9.

I already had this feeling deep down that this was going to be a disappointing season. This doesn’t give me any more confidence.

 

[Tom155]

ffs, a bit of injury luck wouldn't go astray

However every year it seems to elude us

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Another winger gone. Great haha.

Keen to see who they sign.

Gotta imagine they’re hoping Luki fills one of the spots.

Kiraz was a centre and 5/8 from memory. Wouldn't have counted him amongst our wing stocks but I could be wrong

That's 2 outside backs gone in the same week though. You'd have to think at least 1 of the new signings would at least be a depth centre/winger

Definitely a winger mate, looked solid in the NSW cup games I watched but don't know what his potential is.

I think we're desperate for an outside back now, along with a halfback and hooker. And also hopefully Luki is still on the way.

If Tom Starling is cleared in court I would not be shocked if Josh Hodgson has a year here.

 

[ryan.a87]

Toohey seems to think Randall or Crossland will start at hooker

 

[Yosh]

Toohey seems to think Randall or Crossland will start at hooker

I guess it's not the worst thing if we do get Brailey back by round 10-13.

So we getting Brooks or Drinkwater for sure?
