[Spot On]

stockwell averaged about 60 metres a game this year

Ave minutes played?

 

[perverse]

Young props often don't get up big metres for a number of reasons. Not as physically or mentally as developed as their older counterparts, usually playing shorter minutes and usually from the bench. AK was pumping out 47m for us when he was bloody starting... and he was old enough and ugly enough to do better - he had been a campaigner in the NRL for 7 years at that point and played with some of the best players in the world at Melbourne and Nth QLD. Ugh, god he is such a dud, I'll vomit if he comes back here.

Stockwell at the very least has a fair whack of potential. slotmachine, you are deadset impossible to please... weren't you bitching months ago that we should recruit some young bargain buys rather than going after the oldies? Is there anything the club can do to make you happy, or do you just live to hate?

 

[The Showstopper]

The fact St George fans are blowing up that George Rose and Packer are his replacements suggests Stockwell is a pretty decent acquisition.

St George Illawarra Dragons to grant Jack Stockwell a release to join Newcastle Knights

Great news, the best news in quite a while actually , former Junior Roo , he could be a great signing. He will be 23 when he runs out for us and at 192cm and 105 kg you would think his best footy is ahead of him.

"St George Illawarra Dragons prop Jack Stockwell is a recent graduate of the Club’s National Youth Competition team with two seasons of first-grade to draw from.

The Picton Magpies junior made 20 first-grade appearances and for the Red V last season and tallied two tries as well as making 444 tackles.

The versatile utility, who can also play in the second-row or lock, earned himself selection into the New South Wales Residents representative squad in 2012.

Stockwell previously featured for four seasons in the Club’s NYC team and was additionally part of the respective Young Kangaroos and New South Wales Under 20’s State of Origin squad in 2012."

Good signing. Happy we're not signing washed up hacks like Kafusi,

Young players seem to improve under Stone so hopefully he turns into a solid first grader.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Another second rower to add to the pile

 

[grouch]

He's exclusively a prop, and a good young one. Horrendous decision by the Dragons

 

[The Showstopper]

He is a prop who can rotate to the back row. Martin Kennedy on the market now. All for it for the right deal as long as it involves incentives to get full payment. Getting the arse from a club for underperformance should mean the club you go to has all the power in negotiations. None of this take the contract on bullshit. You take the offer or leave it.

 

[Rod]

Happy enough with Stockwell, adds much needed depth if nothing else.

I really liked Kennedy a couple of years ago. Could be worth a punt if he can get the fire back in his belly but as always it'd come down to us not overpaying him as Showstopper said.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Another second rower to add to the pile

Dont let the article fool you mate, the kid is a prop and has played pretty much all of his FG footy there or at lock, which is pretty much the same thing these days

Very happy with this signing. I have rated the kid since his NYC days

 

[Yosh]

Stockwell vs. Kafusi? Easy for me.

If we add Kennedy and Stockwell, we seem stronger already.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

If he's a prop then glad to have him on board. Any prop signing is better than no prop signings except AK47

 

[League_God]

I notice B Moz has signed with doggies for 4 years. Surely this has got to be positive news for us re: retaining sione and co.

 

[voltron]

i thought stockwell was one of the better players for the dragons the last time we played them
so happy with that

When was this? We only played The Dragons once this year, and he didn't play in that match.

 

[Joker's Wild]

He played against us in 2013. Voltron is likely thinking of that game

 

[perverse]

Better memory than I have then, lol.

 

[Pure_Knight]

Rlw mole "confirmed" that stockwell had signed with us over manly.
