Rumoured Targets 3

[aqua_duck]

I'm sure they weren't complaining when he got them to two grand finals though

but at what cost? Football budget was astronomical and he destroyed their salary cap for years to come with disastrous back loaded contracts. Many dogs fans and former players also believe he destroyed their club DNA

Gamble absolute trash last night.

weidlers column today says we are shopping Klemmer and the tigers are shopping Douhei. Would be nice to think we haven’t signed Gamble yet and would take a crack at an actual NRL half…

 

[Jono078]

He was trash last night. So were a lot of Broncos. Bit tough on the bloke to get dropped and replaced mid-season, after going 8-0, and then ask him to come back in for a do-or-die game after the team conceded 113 points in their last 2 games.

I would look at Douhei if available though.

Would have to release Klemmer early to be any chance of affording him. Perhaps the Tigers are looking at Klem. Would be perfect for them TBH.

I kid you all f**king not... On the back of Crossland's "good" game, AOB was asked if there's plans to keep him around for next year... and well... he confirmed they've agreed to terms and we'll have super Crossland on the books next year.

Rewarding mediocrity should be the Knights motto. Joke of a club.

 

[ryan.a87]

What’s the bet we gave him 2 years with a player option for a 3rd

It really is a joke.

Brian Smith would have told half these guys to pack their bags and would have found someone fresh in to compete for spots.

 

[Old dog]

Don’t understand need to offload Klem to afford a half, surely we haven’t overspent that much and how does anybody know, is it pure guess work, speculation

 

[mozza91]

Fighting off exactly zero rival clubs for that signing.

Pretty sure O’Brien is trying to get fired at this stage.

I'm convinced he's trying to take us down with him with shit like this.

 

[PhilGould]

Crazy to think we somehow downgraded from the coach who spent 2 years not even trying to win games, but I think it's true.

I think we all know how the interview went:

Gardner: "Adam, what are your credentials?"

AoB: "Well, I have been part of four grand finals"

Gardner: "Works for me"

 

[SamSepi0l]

Yawn

Agreed. It's tiresome.

In other news Bevan French made the Super League team of the year.

He joins other superstars, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Ken Sio, Chris McQueen, Tim Lafai...

Don’t understand a lot of what goes on here, we complain, we want it fixed, we have no idea how we sit cap wise, we want to get rid of players that are already signed for 2023 but we have no idea who to replace them with due to unavailability, to justify getting rid of players we absolutely rubbish them but they have to want to go and some one has to want them after all it is there livelihood. It’s hard to believe sometimes that supporters want the club to shut down, move on, no hope.
Sure we are not going well, we have had lots of injuries, the recruitment process has been poor, the coaching is questionable but now we have hit rock bottom surely things will get better, not in 2023 but surely 2024 with a complete overhaul of playing group and surely coaching staff. I am living the dream/nightmare, not sure if I want to wake up or keep sleeping

 

[Seage]

Have we hit rock bottom though? AOB has turned a competitive roster into an unbalanced basket case pretty quickly during his tenure, imagine what he can do with a worse roster.

You're dreaming.

There's nothing at all wrong with wanting better.

 

[Jono078]

Geez old doggie. I can tell you things don’t start getting better by re-signing the likes of Phoenix Crossland.

We were competitive because of Mitchell Pearce, and every week this forum wanted him gone.
