Rumoured targets 2

I hope you mean in build only because otherwise that is a slap in the face to a club legend.

Their running styles are very different too.

Thought it was pretty clear I was talking about body shape and composition, not ability or ticker

Yeah I just wasn't sure because the rest of your post was about his playing ability.

Simmo ran at gaps with knees flying a hundred miles an hour. I would have hated tackling him.I actually saw some Tooheys New(?) ad years ago where they got about 20 players to name the player they hated tackling most, and Simmo was the top pick for a few guys. He stood out in a group that otherwise was full of pretty obvious answers.

House is good in the middle, I can't stand him on the edge.

Before wrestling I don't think he'd be going well with his build, but now that the first defenders tend to go high rather than low, he can get some good metres.

 

[Knight Vision]

what other pack in the comp would Houston even be considered for ?:roll:

 

[Swarzey]

Dragons, Raiders, Sharks.

Their packs are f**king woeful. Houston would look like a marquee player in any of them.

Sharks? You're kidding right?

8. Gibbs
10. Fifita
11. Lewis
12. Graham
13. Gallen

15. Arona
16. Heighington
17. Tupou

They are all better players than Houston, and I'd take Tagataese too

 

[The Showstopper]

I have to agree on the Sharks pack being pretty impressive at full strength. I would move mountains to sign Wade Graham if it was my call. He is a special player.

 

[Rod]

Apparently if Wayne is here next year Hannant will be too.

Source Rod?

Sunday Telegraph.

 

[Frederick]

Is there a link to it online? Haven't been able to find it

 

[The Showstopper]

Fred i think it is possibly a Toohey column. He is in regional papers though. The Newie and Coast editions of the ST usually. There is usually no link to that section though.

We'll know we're are a genuine Premiership force when players like Houston are no longer named in the side.

I also read that it seems as if Quayle is going to be the new chairman.

I read an article about Quayle being concerned about a possible conflict between his role as head of Venues NSW and the Knights. Seems that because the HSG contract with Venues NSW was null and void, there is some work to be done to square it all away. Quayle was quoted as saying that both the Knights and Venues NSW staff were working to resolve the issue so it wasn't an issue for him.

Sounded like that's what they were working towards. It would increase the likelihood of Bennett staying.

Sorry, I have no idea where I read it.

 

[Noname36]

If we sign Hannant I'll be freaking ecstatic. Exactly what we need.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I would LOVE to have Quayle at the club. That would be a new level of amazing....

 

[The Showstopper]

All the pain could have a very major payoff. Fingers crossed.

 

[Yosh]

8. Hannat
9. Cyldesdale
10. Snowden
11. T Sims
12. Scott
13. J Smith

14. Roberts
15. K Sims
16. Rochow
17. Prop

Next year's forward line up something like this?

 

[slotmachine]

Yep. Probably Houston in 17 if no one better pops up.

Sims and hannant is more than I could hope for, gold star for whoever is doing recruitment .

 

[Johns Magic]

I don't see House being kept over Mason if he wants another year.
