Rumoured Targets 3

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

He was the NSW U19s Origin hooker, so he must go OK.

excellent news

 

[TheCrowe]

Has skill, very small, very slow.
May eventually be an ok 1st grader.

Is that his ceiling? Didn't seem slow at all.

Hhmm I feel like we’ve already met our quota for very small and very slow hookers. I’m hoping we’ve signed him as a cheaper option to Brailey with more potential upside. I’m telling myself we have O’Sullivan now so we’d only sign him if it helped the club regardless of his relationship with AOB.

Being a Knights fan though I’ve been so programmed to assume we’ve done something dumb in the name of nepotism.

Pretty slow, good footy smarts. Most on Parra forum happy to see him go.
5'9 80kgs. Bench hooker only.

 

[Yosh]

Hopefully he is only offered minimum wage then.

Isn't Jones supposed to be a good prospect also?

 

[Knight Tales]

According to Hooper we have made it known we want Brad Arthur as an assistant coach.

We can’t be paying him too much, our salary cap problems are plastered across every news site lol.

Jacob Davis is our best hooker prospect IMO (but probably still a while off).

I could have sworn I read he’s going to Leeds?

He did. Signed with them two weeks ago. Coached them on the weekend.

 

[PhilGould]

Only signed with Leeds for the rest of this season though

What’s the vibe here on Brad Arthur

took Parra to a gf, so couldn’t be too bad. But seeing some comments on the parra socials seem pretty negative about him (not that I ever take social media comments seriously)

 

[Yosh]

So we have 2 proven coaches as assistants from next year? Arthur and McDermott? AOB must be sweating it!

I like it tbh. We need another assistant anyway and I think why most rookie coaches struggle is because they’ve only had experience as assistants - they don’t have experience coaching their own teams and the man management side of it. Arthurs at least had that and AOB obviously needs help (I know McDermott’s had head coaching experience too but the ESL is extremely different, hence why very few coaches have come over here).

I wouldn’t worry too much about the comments from the Parra fans. A lot of them can be pretty toxic and one-eyed when it comes to BA tbh.

more runs on the board than our rookie, would be an excellent assistant coach.

certainly will be running out of excuses

He's really good at developing second rowers, if he can turn Shaun Lane into Aldi SBW imagine what he could do with Lucas and KPP.

Toohey's News

- O'Sullivan confirms Knights are very interested in Jonah Pezet but he's not available yet. Pezet's dad says he would have no issue with Jonah returning to the Knights.

- There had been talk of the Eels possibly being a landing spot for Brailey, so Toohey speculates that the Matt Arthur rumours could be linked.
