[ledzep]

is this list correct for players off-contract this season?
any additions?

Chris Bailey
Dane Campbell
Dustin Cooper
Matthew Kennedy
Todd Lowrie
Luke Quigley
Anthony Quinn
David Seage
Craig Smith
Kade Snowden
Daniel Tolar

 

[northey]

i thought we re-signed snowden...

 

[keeney]

I don't think we have yet.

 

[Parki]

nick politis is that you???

keep your filthy hands off our players!!!

jks, i think thats the list, you are welcome to most of them anyway..... PLEASE take Matt Kennedy why hes still on the books i have no idea

 

[antonius]

Snowden was mentioned by B.Smith as being a player he wants to ensure stays at the club.

 

[Master Vippo]

You would friggin hope so! Some good players there, but none of them unreplaceable. Reckon Smith will go around again? Even if he doesnt, he should e offered a forward coaching role or something, hes a great leader

 

[Roy]

imo we only need to keep the bottom 4

 

[knights9]

The only ones i would resign in that list would be

Chris Bailey
Craig Smith
Kade Snowden
Dan Tolar

 

[northey]

IMO


Chris Bailey - give him another year

Dane Campbell - he never really lived up to his expectation

Dustin Cooper - same as campbell

Matthew Kennedy - had a good season a few years back and something happened and he wasn't as good as he could have been

Todd Lowrie - i would like to keep him

Luke Quigley - good for when we need a replacement for buderus

Anthony Quinn - i would like to keep him, his form this year has been great

David Seage - has many injury problems, we have thaiday, so do we really need him

Craig Smith - work horse! we need him, convince him not to retire. even though he is the oldest player in the NRL, he doesn't play like it

Kade Snowden - need to keep him

Daniel Tolar - yeah would be good

 

[thuganomics]

David Seage - has many injury problems, we have thaiday, so do we really need him

Yes.

 

[macavity]

and your off-contract players, nick?

 

[Yosh]

would you guys rather have seage or quinn? and by the looks of it seage will be playing wing if he does stay next year because we have thaiday as frist choice and from what i hear hinton is all class...
so who would you guys choose seage or quinn? personally i would have either of them but seage does get injuired alot but quinn will cost more...

 

[Bring it home Knights]

i'd profer quinn. He's also alot younger

 

[Alex28]

Quinn is a quality player and will be a big loss to the club - he's an honest, if not flashy player and if he goes to the Storm he'll go great guns down there.

We all know how Seage goes when fit - and he is due for a lucky run thats for sure. I would hope they re-sign him for next year and see how he goes. If he has another year of injuries and playing less than 60% of games...then I'm prepared to say we let him go...

 

[Voice of Reason]

Paranoia reigns supreme at the Knights. I contacted the club in April asking what players are coming off contract this year. I identified myself with my address, name and membership number. After about a week the club administration replied telling me that the football manager had said "due to heavy workload" he was unable to provide me with the information. He suggested that I should "contact him again after the season has finished" and he may be able to help me then. What a load of crud. It is apparent that this club is constantly in a seige mentality and pay scant regard or respect to their fans. It seams that the rhetoric reality chasm at the club is huge. I love the team but in my opinion the management leave a lot to be desired.

 

[Nuffy]

VOR, thats Gold, poor Crowey snowed under in April!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It never ceases to amaze me at the dramas at the club. I just don't think theres enough planning and strategy development.

Have a look at thge Simmo issue as a case in point, this issue was highlighted LAST year as a ticking bomb, so did anyone do anything about it? Answer, no.

It should have been addressed prior to Kidleys resigning, not after.

I was hoping that Wests would whip them into shape, just wishful thinking I guess.

 

[macavity]

word is Wests have offered nothing except office space.

hmm.....

 

[Voice of Reason]

It became crystal clear to me last year Mac when we were in discussion with the clubs Manglement (not a typo) that they believed then, and I suspect still believe now, that they are doing a good job. I would suggest that Wests havent offered any strategic, planning and management advise as they have not been asked for any, or more likely the case Wrongway has told Wests that the club dont need that sort of help from Wests. Its the old argument that a problem cannot be addressed until the person having the problem admits to be struggling.
