Rumoured Targets 3

I don't think it means we're definitely not getting Fergo.. I guess Mooney and co just don't want to put all their eggs in one basket.

 

[bad boy bubby]

I forgot to add, Ramien and Lee do have a good combination going.

 

[perverse]

Huh, well that came out of nowhere. Good signing, shouldn't be breaking the bank either.

 

[macavity]

We definitely understand that you don't just use 17 players a year.... finally.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

This means we should have genuine competition for backline spots next year which can only be a good thing, no more Ross and Sio getting a walk up start. They’re honest workers but they just don’t provide much meaningful impact on a game unfortunately.

I also wonder what Brown will do with SKD after next year considering we’re bringing in some younger outside backs. He’s signed up until the end of 2019 I believe. If he’s still playing the way he is now I wouldn’t have a problem with giving him another year or two on fairly small dollars. If we bring Fergo in though maybe even SKD’s spot could be up for grabs?

Couldn’t be happier Jarrod ‘blame the media’ Wallace didn’t choose us. Would be stoked with Napa and Fergo. The twins are a huge key for us climbing up the ladder imo, put plenty of time into them so hopefully both can have a huge preseason.

 

[Spot On]

Jai Arrow shits on Wallace imo and is only going to get better and better and better. This bloke will be one of the best forwards in the world within a few years.

 

[slotmachine]

Good pickup, mooney is a gun.

SKD, Ramien, Moga, Lee, Fergo (maybe) plus Ross/Sio/Denniss is a lot better looking than the 2018 outside back situation.

Now, props please

Knights are making a "sneaky" bid for Corey Norman, according to The Mole.

The Mole isnt great, but Brown was asked about interest in Norman a couple of weeks ago and didn't flat out deny it like he usually would. Could be something there.

Not sure how to feel about this to be honest lol

Given Levi's tried to get out of the club, if Norman signs we could see this next year:

6. Norman
7. Pearce

14. Watson

I'd be pretty f**king stoked with that

That would be pretty lethal if Norman can behave himself off field

Personally not fazed by Norman, brings too much baggage and just doesn't seem to want to grow up and be a team man. Holding out for some big agro boppers is what's needed. Glad that Woods is gone to Sharks, he is in same vein as Norman IMO. Fergo would be nice to finish off the backline then work hard on Tapau and one other decent front rower and we could be anything with a fit roster.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

When in form Norman is one of the most influential players in the NRL but he only ever seems to produce that sort of form in patches and although he’s been around for a while now still hasn’t produced a consistent season in his whole career.

To be honest while he’d improve our roster I just can’t see enough upside in getting him. He’s a walking headline off the field and I can’t see him playing well enough on a regular enough basis to justify the bad publicity and the poor attitude off the field. Not to mention he’s on a big contract and I wouldn’t want us spending big money to get him only for him to f**k up in 12 months time and be on the outer again.

 

[Still Nutty]

Brent Read just said on Triple M, Knights are keeping a close eye on Marty Taupau and are linked

this would probably mean the Sharks would be out of the running for Tapau, if he does come on the market?

[Old dog]

Don't have to be completely happy with all of this but very happy to hear we are in with a chance to obtain players to improve 1sts and res.

Surely

 

[Hit and Spin]

Surely

Don't be surprised to see Gallen and Lewis officially announce retirement to all a major play at Tapau.. Just saying, if they have a chance the sharks will get him as it seems to be a club that attracts the elite.

 

[macavity]

Don't understand why we would want Norman. Not exactly carrying the Eels to great heights is he.

Two big angry props please.

Maybe we could charter a Jet to get Marty Tapau home from Denver . Still stuck there as we speak :
