Rumoured Targets 3

[Old dog]

I guess it's wait and see what/who comes up, need props badly or make do with what we have

 

[Spot On]

Not yet. He mostly just has digs at the club for letting Gagai go

Does he ever have a go at Gags' missed tackles and lack of tries and try assists??? Or the fact that Aku Uate has finally found the try line again due to the fact that he now has a decent centre inside him???

I mean, what is it that Hags think Dane brings to this team but a giant hole in the cap?

 

[mozza91]

If Hagan ever shows any approval of our recruitment Brown and Mooney will need to be immediately sacked.

 

[Old dog]

Don't understand all this about Hagan, he may/did cause a lot of this but he has gone, hasn't he?, so why is he central to a lot of this? Let's move on.

He has publicly given it to Brown for doing what he has had to do with the squad. That is, change the retention and recruitment philosophy Hagan had implemented and fix the incredibly huge mistakes Hagan made by handing a bunch of nuffies rep money to play firsts.

The philosophy was..... Knights player who would struggle to get a gig anywhere else would send manager into Hags to ask for new contract with the priviso the new contract must be worth X or the player would walk. Player gets new contract at massive overs. Or player already on top dollars plays like shit for 2 seasons, contract is soon to be up so manager is sent to Hags to get upgrade and extension or player will walk. Upgrade and extension granted.

I know it was his 1st game back and will cut him some slack but geez Graham was ordinary tonight.

Not so much in defence he had as much of a dig as anyone but he no longer takes meaningful hit ups. The amount of times he was 1st receiver and just shovelled it to the next guy rather than take on the line or god forbid take a f**king hit up and roll the sleeves up was plentiful.

Have to wonder whether it is coaching or his body just wont allow it anymore like Hodko. But Brown and Mooney are right to have reservations from what I saw tonight. Chase Klemmer instead.

 

[Spot On]

That's the way its been for some time Pedge. Their roster is an absolute mess.

 

[Pedge1971]

Then why would we seriously consider taking anyone other than Klemmer from there?

Don't know. I can understand some interest in Lichaa. It's possible he could have more game than he's been allowed to show. Mick Ennis has said as much about his own game when there.

Besides Lichaa (and Graham) who else have we shown interest towards?

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

I'd take tolman for the right $. But he doesn't add much other than experience. Graham would be 3 times as much but would he be 3 times the impact?

 

[slotmachine]

Why are we talking about players who are contacted till 2020?

 

[macavity]

The dogs have to let some players go. Wouldn't be surprised if the Morris boys get a farewell gift to move to England "for the experience"

 

[slotmachine]

Yeah, or Mbye and his ridiculous contract. Klemmer is just LOL, he's the last player they let go.

 

[Caped Crusader]

Why are we talking about players who are contacted till 2020?

Because they are at a club who is rumoured to be in cap trouble for 2018 and will need to shed contracted players

Jeezus you really are a wet blanket mate

 

[Yosh]

I wonder if it's Hagan's ego or stupidity that we are seeing. How good has Brown been since he's been here. Build the squad first and then start winning games.

 

[Caped Crusader]

Vete, Kaufusi and Terepo would be my picks for off-contract props, without being confident any of them are going to be starter-worthy.

Gower is TERRIBLE...

I think our prop additions for next year are not on that list though. 6 teams will be over the projected cap and need to release players. We are the only team with serious cash left. We can afford to be making demands.

I dont think Gower is terrible, just underused and in the wrong position at Parra

Arthur has put him in the backrow coming off the bench and it doesnt suit his game. Hes been playing at lock for Wenty when not in 1sts and hes been going very well

He'd cost bugger all and would be good depth, which we are going to need

 

[Pedge1971]

Rumour is Roosters are looking at Lillyman on a cheap 1 year deal. I still think he would be useful at the right price.

 

[slotmachine]

More than useful, he'd be our best prop.

 

[Johns Magic]

LOL, when will people realise the Knights have nothing to offer quality players who have other options. Not even more money. If a big club wants Ponga they will leverage TPAs and ship off a few scrubs to us or the ESL in order to get him.

No it doesn't. The roosters (much like the Sharks and Maloney) will just say you've got a contract with us for 2018. The end.

Klemmer is just LOL, he's the last player they let go.

Let's hope the roll continues

 

[True blue knights]

Benji Marshall is offered a 100,000 again by bennett for next year.now i know we are chasing maloney but if that fails,who else is there to grab.could give benji a 1 yr with and 2nd year option in our favour so we will wait for a better player to come around down the track.he still playing fairly good footy and im sure even for depth a 200,000 would be a chump change with the amount coin we got saved up.
