The Saifitis don't become crap players overnight. It's the system. We are still carting it one out. There is no mystery for the defensive team. We just carting it up and getting hang tackled.

Klemmer is a gun though. Love his short passing game and offloads.

No it's just my opinion princess.You don't have to like it or agree, no skin off my dick

There have been far worse combos winning premierships so I'm not sure how you can be so absolute. Clune has shown a few times he's got it in him. He's not been given much of a go and can certainly be a late bloomer like Fogarty and Cody Walker

Clifford also has it in him but he's clearly got head noise issues


I have zero doubt that both those guys in the Storm system would be a premiership threat. Bellamy had taken similar and made them contenders
Who are these far worse premiership winning combos?

Carting it one out doesnt account for the missed tackles, lack of PCM ect from the twins. They are 100% down on effort

The article says the Raiders want Boyle but there's no indication the Knights do too. Obviously would be a great signing if they got her.

Anasta and Sherwin for starters

add to that the dud combos that have made it to the GF

Hodkinson and Reynolds
Robson and Mortimer
Anasta and Sherwin ?
Anasta played was a kangaroo and NSW rep before his 21st birthday, he probably didn't realise his full potential but you're completely underselling how good he was at a young age, Sherwin finishrd 2nd in the Dally M behind Joey in 2002, and whilst not quite in the Johns, Kimmorley, Stacey Jones band off halfbacks was a top 5 level halfback for many years. Clune is 25 years old and never had a full season as a starting 1st grade halfback.

I think it totally does. We go one out which makes it really easy for the opposition defense to get 3 in the tackle and dominate our guy running the ball. Very difficult to get PCM when three guys are wrestling you to the ground. Our balls from the ruck (Randall) are also terrible. Not average, terrible. The timing is never right.

I am 100% certain we will see the Saifitis improve once we stop going one out from the ruck every set and when Brailey comes back.

Recruitment boss Zammit was more than comfortable with the halves at the club heading into the season.

But Knights recruitment boss Clint Zammit told the Newcastle Herald there is no truth to the speculation.
"We haven't even spoken about Kieran Foran - his name's never been mentioned by us in the wake of Junior leaving," Zammit said.
"I can assure you we won't be going down that path."

Zammit said the club has plenty of faith in the Knights' existing halfback stocks to get the job done next season even without a replacement for Pearce.

"We've got some strong options already at the club in Adam Clune and young Phoenix Crossland who have been training really well and Cliff [Jake Clifford] and Kurt [Mann] are there as well," he said.

These halves have led us to the bottom of the table this year. If that doesn't change there is no reason to be confident in them.

This could just be some sort of PR speak but if there's any truth to it, then I'm very concerned.

EDIT: The fact he had the audacity to even mention Mann and halves in the same sentence. We've been down that FAILED path before.. Insanity to try the same thing again.

Klemmer manages it and he's playing in the exact same team mate

It's not the lack of runners, it's not the passing from dummy half. It's the attitude

I'm happy to disagree but you put prime Shane Webcke in our team and he'd look like a reserve grader also.

Broncos has been trying to offload Flegler for awhile as he is on big $$$
Surely Zammit is on the phone to Ikin.
