Players the club is apparently interested in

Ryles

O'Donnell

Buderus and Uate are only signed until the end of 2008 (according to Knights website).

Kidley was given a 4 year deal along with Simmo which takes them BOTH to 2010 (99% sure this is the case).

I would add O'Meley to that "intrested in" list... apparently the deal with Easts is far from final.

 

[keeney]

But the fact that even the entirely substanceless press has failed to list him amongst the players we're considering.... Seems to make it unlikely.

Ahh gave me a good laugh, hope Tanner plays well this weekend!

 

[KniGhTs BaTTLeR]

Tanner is solid. With the right coaching he could be handy, I'd throw him a one year deal for the right price.

Newton and Perry I would re-sign and defo Abes and Natusch. The rest we would have to get dirt cheap for them to have a chance IMO.

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

I WANT CLINTON in out pack..and id like to give david searge one last shot as i realy think he does something for us..hurry back david

Clinton..after what i saw last nite and the way he tackled and ran the ball should be our number one target..he provides stiffness and aggression..something thats lacking with out frontrowers

Joel Clinton went alright last night.

41 tackles
1 missed
9 hitups
98m

Also Kite is doing pretty good against the dogs, halftime stats for him are

14 tackles
7 hitups
57m

O'Meley is

13 tackles
5 missed
7 hitups
61m
2 offloads

 

[Bicey_18]

Michael Monaghan was awesome 2nite.....get him in a red n blue jersey

 

[Jono078]

He was pretty good tonight.

Hornby wasnt that good at all, took some weird options with his kicks and overall didnt seem to organise the team that well.

 

[keeney]

I was looking at the live updates, sounds like it about Monas. I think he's a really solid player without being spectacular, underrated, won't be as pricey as any other half. Would provide everything we need as a partner for Mullen.

I'd certainly want Clinton too, in order it'd have to be Clinton, Kite, O'Meley.

 

[Frederick]

I'd be happy with any of those 3, tbh.

 

[keeney]

I don't think I'd be happy with O'Meley, he'd come at too great a cost to potential signings this year, and resignings over the next few.
