For what it’s worth, Matt Arthur has been added to the knights team page on the official website without an announcement

seems like someone in the website team stuffed up and added him early

Apparently we are no longer prepared to release Brails, indicating we will run Peen out at 7 again.

Maybe I'm huffing copium but I don't think keeping Brailey means crossland at 7.

A full season of that would have me looking for a new winter sport to follow, anyone know anything about curling?

Parra would be looking to punt on a possible bargain, paying not much more than 1/2 of Brailey's salary would be too much of a risk on a proven net loss to the cap.

Interview with Leo doesn't exactly sound optimistic -

The Knights have also signed brother Tyrone Thompson, but Leo said that doesn’t guarantee he will stay in Newcastle.

“Hopefully he debuts at the Knights and we can get some games together,” Thompson said.

Leo does not sound very bright if I am being completely honest. He is just projecting his ignorance really. Sully will reach the point where he will say best of luck to you mate. The bloke has proper tickets on himself. Delusional is probably an understatement. The bit that gets me is we let D Saf leave in order to have the money to keep him, and the first reason his gives for leaving is allegedly he thinks he lacks mentors! You’re 24 mate. Get a grip!

I'm getting to the point where I just don't care if he walks at all honestly. He ain't Payne Haas. If someone wants to pay him huge money good luck to them, he ain't there yet and might not even get there.

Tuala to Dogs finally official. Was a good clubman and reliable backup.
much under-rated player. Given a chance at the dogs he'll prove a great pick-up and regular starter for them.

yeh I don't buy into the media hype about the bloke. He's hardly a sure thing to be anything, and at the moment he's not much more than average. Looks alpha plays beta.

I’ll be happy if the Knights are able to retain Leo on their terms and I can understand why fans are on edge about losing another younger, promising player. I can also completely understand why O’Sullivan might not be interested in getting into a bidding war for him and would tend to agree with that stance.

He’s a very strong defender but average at best in all other areas IMO, and yet to even really show signs that he’s developing into anything more than that. Genuinely think a significant part of the hype around him comes from just looking like a big, mean, intimidating enforcer of a prop but his play on the field has never really backed that up.

If Leo goes, he goes. But, we should have locked him up ages ago. Should have bumped him up a little when we had the chance.

He is only 24 and new to League. Could play at a high level for another decade.

We are going to have some massive cap space and free slots in the top 30 come 2026.
