Newcastle Knights Signings/Re-signings thread

Mad Pup is decent yosh - as long as he has Adam holding his hand...

I see I see, well consider that they are playing on opposite sides of the field doesnt really help then.....

they won't - i think that tighe must like the 4 jersey - because he always grabs it at training but plays in the 3 position.
I suspect Matt Gidley stretched the 3 jersey and Brad can't show off his muscles in it.

Don't mention Midley, god we could use him this year.

Michael Young :arrow: Re-signed for a further year

He probably isnt on much money, but I dont see much in him, he doesnt seem that mobile or fit imo.

He is basically Tanner but plays hooker.

Is Perry's departure confirmed? Last I heard he was waiting until this weekend was over to begin serious negotiations with anybody

 

[keeney]

From the interview with Smith plus all the conjecture about Manly you'd say yes in an unofficial way. Smith basically said 'Perry won't be here next year'.

 

[Yosh]

Oh well... Really loved Perry, Manly have got really lucky!!!

 

[Jono078]

I take my comments back about Young, I thought he was great

Although in the last minutes he gave me a massive heart attack droppin that ball

 

[RABK]

Seems Young will be our bench Utility next year covering 1-6, hooker and backrow. After tonights performance you cannot argue.

Does this add to the fact that Smith can get much more from every player then Hagan could? Personally I think so.

BRIAN FTW!!!

 

[roopy]

You have to wonder where skinny young finds those huge hits he comes up with once or twice a game.
In attack he couldn't bruise a grape - but he just lines a guy up and bangs him down every now and again.

I'd rather Terrence, abit more flair
