Interesting that Jack Wighton is going to test the market…

Pass. He is just a slightly better version of Kurt Mann

 

[Spot On]

It’s hard to believe how bad he was last season after building a devastating running game the year they made the GF.

 

[Knight Tales]

Pass. He is just a slightly better version of Kurt Mann

Dude are you serious? Something is very wrong in Canberra. He nearly signed here 3 years ago. hope for right price we are enquiring right now. Makes perfect sense. If KP walks off to Bennett it is a pretty decent insurance policy.

 

[Yosh]

If we have Clifford & Wighton in the halves, we would easily have the biggest halves combination in the competition right? Plus, both of them are aggressive in defense. I would like to see that pairing.

Or, to take it one step further.

1. Wighton
6. Ponga
7. Clifford
9. Brailey

Isn't fullback Wighton's best position anyway? If we lined up like that, it would mean we have Ponga at first receiver a lot more often and we finally get a physical, run first fullback who has great work ethic. Would he be willing to come to the club for Pearce money plus change?

Yeah, no he isn’t. There are some pretty poor takes here - this is way up there.

 

[Knight Tales]

Dally M winner 2020 and yet he ranks alongside Mann. That will do me.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Would take Simple Jack in a flash.

He is borderline reta&$!@, but what he can do, is precisely what we are missing.

Just don’t pay overs.

 

[PhilGould]

Sticky loves him, can't see the Raiders letting him go.

 

[Silent Knight]

Signing Simple Jack would muh muh make me happy.

His best position is 6 by far when he thinks run first.
He looks lost at fullback and struggles to inject himself in the backline
Just don’t play him centre.

F**k no... Hahahaha

 

[Alex28]

Foran > Tigers
Brooks > Knights

Works for me.

 

[Old dog]

Yes, Brooks has got a few more years in him than Foran who is similar to Pearce, best years gone

 

[Knight Tales]

This player market is something else is it not!

 

[perverse]

350k a year for 2 years. Is that a bad deal for Foran? Is he really going that badly?

We'd be paying Brooks probably close to double that. Food for thought.

 

[slotmachine]

If he could stay healthy for those 2 years it's a great deal, he's still playing pretty well.

 

[Burwood]

I’d love to get Foran. Very experienced. Has played a finals game. Half the price of Brooks. Money left over for another player.

 

[Jono078]

The price is right for Foran.

He had his best season in a long time this year with Manly. He is a calming influence and someone who is great at slow ball playing aka the draw and pass - which we dont have!

I think he'd be a nice fit without risking too much.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

The concern is Foran’s history with injuries and given our usual luck with injuries I can’t see it going well. Although $350K-$400K would be good value if the risk wasn’t so high.

If he went to the Tigers and we got Brooks that wouldn’t be so bad though.
