Rumoured Targets 3

[Knight76]

Frizzell and Watson on the same money doesn't make sense... Will Watson stay for a lower deal?

He needs to, for what he brings to the team you can't have a bench super sub on 500-600k.

Moneyball.

considering he's missed 1/3 of games through injury and on top of that he doesnt play 80 min I'd hope so.

The outlay v return just doesnt work out for Watson unfortunately, if all our players worked out like Watson we'd be back in the hole we just climbed out of ...

Jsaf announcement coming on Monday:

 

[Knight76]

Recent player poll listed Newcastle as one of the most desirable clubs to play for.

Surely that gives us some leveridge and makes it easier to attract quality players for less coin.

Just who is being polled though? How many from each club? First graders or not?

Meaney is going ok for the Dogs today. He was never going to make it with us with Ponga in the team but it's great to see him in form.

 

[Knight Vision]

Wouldnt mind having a look at Saab from the Dragons. We need a winger upgrade.

 

[Matt23]

Use Glasby's money on Saab or Alex Johnston?

Meaney is ok but he only really possesses straight line speed and not much else. No ball playing, no footwork, no tackle breaks

Danny Levi just denied a try for a double movement.

Gooooood riddance

 

[Spot On]

Finally gets over for a try and Manly have a Newcastle size lead. .. can they f**k it like we nearly did?

Glasby is signed until the end of next year. The way he has played for us in 2020, I'd be happy to have him around next year.

Did you miss the part where he might be medically retired?

 

[aqua_duck]

Definitely need another middle especially with d saf and Klemmer likely to miss games during origin. We've got some promising young middles in Croker, Momoisea and Maanaima but with no lower grade footy this year they've all been delayed in terms of development

 

[Yosh]

Would love to sign another aggressive middle forward. Someone who isn't just a metre eater (we have plenty of them) but a bad boy who doesn't mind giving away a penalty trying to bash the other team.

Had a look at the locks/2fr/frf off contract 2020 and 2021 and there isn't really any big signings to be had unfortunately.... Only ones that stood out were Dave fifitia and dale funicane

Don't need a big signing as much as we need depth

 

[Old dog]

Trouble is that with no lower grades being played young players have lost the chance to develop, might have to have King as a back up if we lose Glasby along with Ese’ese.
I am hoping Glasby retires, risk of further injury, and we will know where we are.

 

[Knight Vision]

Glasby would leave a hole. He might not be a superstar but he is a Premiership winner and SOO player with a fair amount of NRL experience in big games....... He needs to be replaced with something more than just a rookie.

Fair enough an up and commer can be used to replace Herman , but depending on the cap I'd like to go to market for a Glasby replacement....

Pick the bones of the carcasses at the bottom of the table? .....there would have to be some unhappy campers amongst them

 

[PhilGould]

I'd look at Asiata from the Cows. Would probably take half of what Glasby was on and would offer something different than the rest of our middle forwards.
