Rumoured Targets 3

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

Close to the minimum I’d imagine.

That's 120K . If so offering him 500K is a huge leap, and you'd think enough to get his signature. I was thinking he'd be on more than that, and it would take a bit more to get him to Newy.

Definitely. At the same time though I’d have no issues throwing a large potential type contract at the likes of Lachie Galvin who’s younger, same with Cleary at a younger age. Not saying Pezet won’t make it, but I’m not seeing him as a sure enough prospect that we need to be overpaying him based on potential either. Luckily we have POS on board who’s probably the best in the game at knowing whether a young player will crack on or not and how much we should offer to try and sign him.

Exactly why I mentioned earlier - to have a young fella like Pezet at half you'd need to provide all the support and tools possible for him to succeed.

Galvin this year was playing outside experienced campaigner Sezer , and will have Luai next year.

Cleary was playing alongside Maloney in his early years.

Walker - Keary, Mam -Reynolds etc

 

[Burwood]

Brailey, Hastings out, 2 replacements in. Looks like a reasonably solid squad, although quite a few names I don’t recognise yet.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

We may not necessarily see a lot of action for 2025 anyway given we’re relying on getting rid of a few contracts to free up cap space. We know the Hastings contract is in its last year, is that the same for Brailey?

I would think we’re going to be more active for 2026 anyway.

Hastings, Brailey, Elliot, Hetherington, KPP are the main contracts that end 2025.

About 3 million in cap

 

[Haffa]

They've signed 30 players to the top squad already, wouldn't expect too much more movement other than sending Hastings packing and replacing him with another halfback.

Brailey to Parra is still kicking around.

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

I'd say Parra want Knights to kick in too much for an immediate transfer. He's on something like 650K? Only worth 400K -450K taking a punt.

 

[Yosh]

Mate, it's been 3 days since the deadline...

Clearly we are headed for the wooden spoon in 2025 then!!

 

[Rod]

I don't think there's been barely any signing news, for any team? I guess the internationals still going plays a part.

 

[Nuke]

For what it's worth, wherever I read it today, supposedly Newcastle has upped the offer to Leo Thompson.
