Rumoured Targets 3

[Sir Galahad]

One things is certain - we need more than Ponga in our spine if were are to improve as a team.

They can recruit all the Angus Crichtons' they like but unless the Knights have another marquee player the team will languish as also rans.

I'd throw the kitchen sink at Munster.

 

[Sir Galahad]

The injury risk with Keary is massively over blown. Same issues surrounded Finucane and look how he is thriving at the Sharks

Keary's had a couple of knocks that wouldnt brusie a grape and he's stunned and HIA .

Gone 9 rounds this year with not 1 HIA

Like ive said, his "issues" are over blown

 

[Sir Galahad]

Gone 9 rounds this year with not 1 HIA

I wouldnt base a multi million dollar investment on 9 rounds.

If the rumours are even true there lies the question of why the Rorters would let him go - my guess is very much like Pearce , the writting is on the wall.

I'd have a sniff but go for the Munster. Blue chip signing right there.

Would kill for Munster, I just don't think we're a snowflakes chance in hell of enticing him here, regardless of price. That isn't to say I wouldn't pursue him.

With every no you get closer to a yes, perfecting along the way how to best package an offer to a blue chip signing.

They should already have a dossier on Munster and know everything about him ( or any target soon to be on the market ) along with a group of wealthy benefactors for "3rd party deals"

Leave no stone unturned.

He is pretty nimble on his feet so will have no problems dodging it...

To get Munster we'd need to pay $1.5M

Great player certainly but that f**ks our cap pretty badly. Who else do we get to play around him?

I reckon he can get that sort of money at the Dolphins. He is hesitant because they won't be a premiership force for some years. Though, they will be before us. No way he comes here.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Yep, I'm willing to bet the Dolphins are prepared to bugger their cap to get him because they are desperate for a marquee signing

 

[Apey]

Very wary of taking anyone the Roosters deem surplus to requirements.

 

[macavity]

Maybe we can offer Munster first shot at all the Argentinian freighters docking in the harbour

YOUNG GUN KNIGHT ON THE MOVE

Utility back Tex Hoy could be the next player to leave the under-performing Knights.

Hoy, who has been given a chance to show his wares in recent weeks and played fairly well, is being shopped around by his management.

The 22-year-old local junior, who can play both fullback and five-eighth, is looking for a regular top grade spot and has had expressions of interest from a couple of clubs.

Ace up the sleeve of shock new Munster suitor

wonder if they know he was off contract for this season and had no takers before we offered him a part time deal, my guess is there will once again be little to no interest and we will once again hand out a sympathy deal

To be fair, at least he would be earning it (so far) this year, rather than an actual hand out to fill out spots.



Just looking at the above, there's not much diff between a 1m superstar vs part-time deal bloke.

 

[Sir Galahad]

If we cant get Munster we need to go for Burton

 

[Yosh]

If we cant get Munster we need to go for Burton

I'd go for Burton over Munster, much more realistic.

 

[TooheysNew]

I'd go for Burton over Munster, much more realistic.

Aren't you the guy that thought we'd sign sbw? Realism isn't really in your wheelhouse.

 

[perverse]

I'd go for Burton over Munster, much more realistic.

What you do if you're smart is you negotiate with both, and then if you get one over the line, you stop negotiating with the other.

I'm not sure if we're that smart... but it's the obvious thing that you do.

Burton only has a kick, he's pretty ordinary

He’s a centre. And the sooner they realise that the better. Ordinary he is not.
