Trying to sign the Butcher brothers would be a great bit of business from Parr. Egan is probably in the top 5 up and coming backrowers in the game.
100% we'd be dumb enough to take Cory Allen and think we got a good deal.Transfer fee....get the f**k outta here,
We all know the Knights will never do it but they should tell this
arrogant mob..."We don't want your money,we want a player of equal value to us
or no deal,Young plays out the season here,the sun doesn't rise and set on the say so
of Nick f**king Politis."
But we'll end up with Paulo or Allen.....'cause.....Knights.
Hmmm. I have heard this argument before and I think sometimes it gets in the way of clubs having a well thought through development process Surely, development means taking any junior, not just "locals" and improving them such that they are good enough for first grade? To do that you want the best coaching, mentoring and physical training you can get. Why does it matter whether you got the player at 15 from a "local" junior club or at 17 from Parramatta's Harold Matthews team? If the Knights got a player and coach him for four years and he debuts at 21, he may be a Parramatta local, but his development is at least 80% (4 out of 5 years) due to the Knights.Roosters have a very different definition of "long term junior". Signing young players on big money for ball and matts doesn't make them a junior.
The benefit is you invest in a young talent already on the books like Mapapalangi and get him more FG experience or at least find out if he's going to be a long-term option.I thought AOB would pick Dom because he’s by far the best outside at the club? There’s absolutely no benefit to dropping him back to NSW Cup.
You do realise Young does not want to be here.I thought AOB would pick Dom because he’s by far the best outside at the club? There’s absolutely no benefit to dropping him back to NSW Cup.
Either the club holds onto him for 2023 and plays him every week he’s available, or they cut him loose for either a player swap (preferred option) or transfer fee.

I would like to see Dom get over a dozen tries but it simply doesn't help us moving forward. Just hinders our progress as a team.
Unless we start 6-0 and it's looking likely we can do something this year, I'm probably not in favour of playing Dom.
Dropping your best attacking weapon out of spite is some Nathan Brown level shit.
