Newcastle Knights Signings/Re-signings thread

[Big Tim]

I can see Karawana becoming out bench utility. He can play some 6, so naturally you would imagine he could play hooker too, he can tackle so the back row wouldnt be out of the question and he also has speed so could play in the centres if required.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Well done to Young you can tell his put in the O/T to develope into the player he has.

 

[keeney]

He certainly has, he doesnt shoulder charge or run up for his big hits, just good technique and some nice explosive acceleration off the spot. I was very impressed, he used to be far moer average.

 

[Yosh]

Good to see Young playing a couple of positions well yesterday. Came in as 5/8th to cover injury, slotted in effortlessly into hooker when Bedsy was given a rest and played well for a long period at back row too. Good hits was good to see.

I would just like to see him cut his hair and pull up his socks. HATE seeing players with their socks down, even thought Simmo does it.

Whatuira -> somewhere other than tigers, possibly union.

In today's RLW Sheens is quoted saying they can't keep him due to salary cap pressures.

Why not?

Won two premierships at two different clubs. Very good player.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Because they cant afford him, pretty self explanatory dude!

Well if you actually used you awesome powers of comprehension, you would have
realised that I mean that we should sign him........... Dude.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I dont get into arguments these days dude!

But thats not the way you worded it.

On a personal note he would be a nice signing.

[petetheileet]

seems uv just signed Chris Houston...great signing that, this kid will have a future!

 

[Misanthrope]

Tremendous signing if it's true. Anyone able to find a source confirming it?

 

[petetheileet]

check in the NRL forum, its all over the shop, its safe to say its tru

 

[keeney]

Opinions? I know many here have rated him, style of player? Compare him to someone?

 

[macavity]

a bit like pato physically , but more solid and not as athletic

seems to have a better work rate but not as explosive.

awesome signing, I think he will be a star for us.

 

[Jono078]

Definitely has a great workrate for a young player.

Basically tackles everything and can make solid runs out wide.

I'm happy with the signing.

 

[knights7]

That's great news Houston is a top player!

 

[Whats Doing]

Very good signing and has a big future. Also he is only 22 and will only get better. Very much in the Patto mould.

 

[keeney]

My only concern is we have a glut of talent and while competition for spots is good, I'd hate to see players miss out in the backrow.

 

[MSKnight]

2 More forwards to sign. Im thinking Taia/Waterhouse.

Perhaps.

Amen to that brother. I'm really struggling to put a team together without 2 or 3 players missing out :crazy:
