Knights Sign Beau Scott

[bails]

You've come to that conclusion after only one game? Seriously?

I also think its the end of Taia, he previously was a right edge attacking player ,now on left edge ,had serious injury,it was at his house that the twitter storm happened(clutching at straws maybe/maybe not)now has been moved to the left edge (1 game i know) but in all honesty its only a guess but i would be extremely surprised for Houston to make way over Taia

Get rid of Tui, Laurie, Rochow and O'Donnell

Sign JWH and Lima/ Manu

We might have to get rid of those guys to just fit Scott under the salary cap...

$2 Million over 4 years!

 

[Spot On]

He is a rep forward. 350 k sounds about right but there is always an argument it is a tad excessive. Parra were chasing him.

He is a very good player. Great in dual positions, and not just at club level. What do people think he'd be on? Where do you rate him against our current squad. 350K sounds like a good deal for a rep player who can play dual positions as well as any of the current players we have. Effectively we have just bought a centre and a backrower. Not bad at all.

 

[Frederick]

It's not all one way traffic - Chris Marlborough and Jacob Ling have gone to saints.

Who cares? Two average players who couldn't crack first grade with all the average players we've had here over the years. Good riddance

Terrorgraph are reporting 1.5 million over 4 years.

So in summary, no one has a f**king clue how much he's getting paid!

$2 mil over 4 yrs. Surely that can't be true. Scott is not a $500 000 a year player. Huge risk, look at what's happened to Asotasi at Souths, he's on the same money and achieved nothing. Bennett is such a snake. He said to Dragons people that he wouldn't target the team but he has done just that. Backed up by that hidious fat Tinkler. Where's all the local Newcastle talent? Over rated it seems. Illawarra has much better local juniors coming through. Brian Smith took quite a few up to Newcastle with him when he was there.

How does $450k a year sound? You do realise there is only one of him on the field right? Mind you, he was close to your best last week.

 

[Spot On]

Sounds pretty good to me. And listening to the outrage from St George fans it sounds as though he should have been getting that sort of money as well. Le Gaz was getting it, why not Scott?

I can't believe I'm reading this stuff. Dragon's fans were saying Bennett wouldn't go to Newcastle for the money as well. They said he was already well paid enough. Ha. What a joke.You blokes are dreaming.

NEWSFLASH - IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE DRAGONS, THEIR PLAYERS AND THEIR FANS. Bennett owes you nothing. Rugby League is a business.

Bennett will do the same to us when he leaves if he goes to another club. I know it and I accept it. Move on. Beau Scott - a terrific player and terrific buy. People can argue all they want over the purchase price. The fact is we didn't buy another nuffy. You have to pay for quality. He IS quality.

Mate, he is that solid it's like having an extra player on the field. Big loss for you blokes.

 

[thommo4pm]

Best thing from Beaus perspective for signing with us is he doesn't have a little bitch like soward in our lineup that he has to babysit during the games.

The only problem with this statement is that they defend on different sides of the field this year.

 

[thommo4pm]

He is a World class defender is Beau. Imagine him and T defending on the left. Ouch!

Beau plays on the right, do you think Bennett is going to move him from the side of the field he has become so dominant on for the last 3-4 years?

 

[Old_Timer]

Yes you paid overs. But you should get two quality years from him before he reach's my age. Apparently he really did not want to go. But all those gorillas, well ..................

 

[drago brelli]

Bennett would take Soward as well because he knows the Gidley is better suited at fullback.

 

[macavity]

Bloody hope we didn't pay him that sort of money.

I have never been a huge fan to be honest - too small and too slow.

TBH you not being able to see what he brings to a team is the reason Bennett is buying him.

Definitely overs though. But then again, what a player is being paid is in context of the teams salary cap, & Beau is exactly what Knights needs.

 

[The Showstopper]

Beau plays on the right, do you think Bennett is going to move him from the side of the field he has become so dominant on for the last 3-4 years?

Timana can play right or left. It was just a hypothetical given T is currently playing on the left. U r right though and it is most likely to stay the status quo given Beau is a brilliant right sided defender.

 

[The Showstopper]

St george think any player that leaves has no right to unless they are unwanted. What a joke. I've been sympathetic to this point but they slate anyone who is an ex player almost immediately. Boyd and Wayne are definitely better off. I understand the bitterness but it is up to St George to stop assuming they are this holier than thou club where u stay or else. U r preaching to the converted GKD and your alumni. We have been poached for 2 decades and more to the point been looked down upon. How the tide has turned.

Who said that?

I'm so ridiculously happy Knights will have 7 players Dragons have produced! I have my thumb up my arse as we speak!

That gibberish is just non-sensical. Are you Slothfield or Weirdler?
Name those top flight players that were poached? :roll:
