Rumoured Targets 3

[Allstar Knights]

I'd wager that's us basically saying we will keep him around for the year. Can anyone honestly see us getting the edge on the Roosters with a trade deal? We should take the fee if that's all we can get from them. We won't have the balls to drop him to NSW Cup for the year.

 

[Haffa]

That story is a laugh. We approached the roosters about a trade and they’re desperate to get him in despite having options at the position this season. I’d wager most of what’s written in it is garbage and we’re content to retain Dom for the year.

I'd rather watch Dom score 20 tries than see a few hundred k added to wests group profit for the fin year.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

If there’s a trade there that we can benefit from then I’m all for it but the transfer fee is next to useless to us so I’d rather have Dom playing for us.

 

[Spot On]

If this piss weak club can’t secure a decent trade then Dom plays NSW Cup for the year.

Grow a f**ken set Newcastle.

I’m not sure what the point of playing him in NSW cup would be. He’s in our best 17 so should be playing NRL. If he was standing in the way of an up-and-comer who was ready for NRL footy then I could understand it but I don’t want an under 20s kid getting thrown to the wolves just for the sake of it.

I get that Dom isn’t the future at our club anymore but I don’t really want 2023 sabotaged if we don’t have a viable replacement ready to take his spot.

 

[Old dog]

Young should only be released if we get what we want/need in a exchange deal otherwise he stays and plays out the season and if form slumps he can be dropped with a few good players waiting to take his place.
I think he is ours for 2023 and will play strong.

How on earth would the Knights possibly convince one of the Roosters - any of them - to come here? Crichton? Fanciful. He earns more than they're going to pay Dom Young. Why would they trade him? And even if they decided to, he'd never agree to it.

Play Dom in our first grade side this year. He's a quality player, so it would be nice to have a final view of what one looks before we suffer through a second coming of Brayden Musgrove as a replacement.

This club should be shut down and sold for parts.

they will only trade a player they don’t intend to re-sign. Even then that player may want to back themselves to earn a new contract this year.

 

[Obey]

Zero chance as he's a long term Roosters from the Junior Days when he played Harold Matts and SG Ball before going to Rugby and unfortunately to the wrong side of Anzac Parade when he returned to League

Roosters have a very different definition of "long term junior". Signing young players on big money for ball and matts doesn't make them a junior.

Boggles the mind how a ‘ professional organisation’ can be so unprofessional for so long.

Dom doesn’t want be here, I don’t blame him, but he doesn’t want to be part of the club going forward.

NSW Cup unless he is required or the Roosters come to the party. They lose a winger to injury early in the season and they’ll get a bit more desperate for Dom to arrive this season.

If not, we develop a player who is here to stay not bend over to develop a bloke further after he signs with another club.

 

[Willie Ray]

Transfer fee....get the f**k outta here,
We all know the Knights will never do it but they should tell this
arrogant mob..."We don't want your money,we want a player of equal value to us
or no deal,Young plays out the season here,the sun doesn't rise and set on the say so
of Nick f**king Politis."
But we'll end up with Paulo or Allen.....'cause.....Knights.

 

[Someone2]

Knights should be asking for Tupou or momirovski

 

[Delboy]

so we now know according to those at Easts, NRL stands for
“ Nicks Roosters League”, gee they are an arrogant bunch, makes sense they sign for less to live in the most expensive real estate area in the country, and they don’t have TPAs according to Schubert and the auditors.

Bring in Mapapalangi to centre and move Gagai to the wing. Maps had an awful trial period but what he showed last year tells me there's an NRL player there in the centres. It's likely going to be our 2024 right edge anyway

Lol f**k no

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

You can almost guarantee that in the end we'll just roll over and take the transfer fee

Penrith have been the latest club linked with Newcastle winger Dom Young as it emerged they were exploring a six-figure salary cap dispensation for injured winger Taylan May.

Young has agreed to join the Sydney Roosters next season and Confidential understands the Knights would consider allowing him to leave if they received a suitable replacement.

As it stands, the Panthers are confident they can replace May internally. However, that hasn’t stopped players’ agents reaching out with potential replacements. It is understood Young was among the names that appeared on their radar as a signing for the rest of the year before he links with the Roosters.

The Knights and the Roosters have held informal discussions about an immediate player swap for Young with the Knights keen on Roosters forwards Egan Butcher or Siua Wong.

May’s injury could open up the door for Young to join the defending premiers on a short-term deal should the NRL green light their request for cap relief.

The Panthers could have the additional money to spend given they are exploring an application for dispensation for May, who was injured in the World Club Challenge against St Helens. May’s season ended after he was caught being tackled in the first half against St Helens with the winger needing a reconstruction to repair the injury.

“We’re looking into it,” Penrith chief executive Matt Cameron said.

“But ultimately it is a decision for the NRL.”

The NRL has a mechanism in place for cap relief for players injured while on Test, Origin or All-Stars duty. Players who miss at least 12 games are given a dollar-for-dollar dispensation up to $350,000.

Fijian international Sunia Turuva is expected to be given first crack as May’s replacement.

May still has a two-game ban to serve for an off-field incident which was delayed during last year’s finals period. It is unclear if he will be allowed to serve the ban while injured.

Wow. If we get either of the Butcher lads that's not too bad. The difference between Dom and Hunt isn't as big as the gap between a Butcher and Fitz or Jones.

If he is going to leave for free next season and we are nowhere near a premiership threat, let's get ourslevs a quality backrower!!

i'd try for 2 players. One of the Butcher's and Wong. I know its not realistic but i't depends on how desperate the Roosters are for Young this year.

Play hardball or just do what other clubs have done to us and don't release him early
