Rumoured Targets 3

Pezet deal not being announced. Good news for us or bad news?

Is Pezet the only signing we making this window?

Were we expecting an announcement today?

Good luck to whoever that is.

Pezet has knocked back the Knights to re-sign with Melbourne

 

[ryan.a87]

More like knights knock back Pezet and turn attention to Cleary for 2028…….am I right fellas!?!?

I don't know if I can cope with a full season of Cogger.

We've already seen too much.

 

[PhilGould]

2025 was likely a season of Cogger anyway, more worried that we'll get another one in 2026. Have to think POS will find something but looks pretty grim for now.

Well at this stage you now might have to cope with more than one full season of Cogger lol

Surely saying something like this should be flagged for abuse?

The club should do whatever it takes to extract Mikey Lewis from Hull KR. Absolute gun. Pay the transfer and be done with it.

Goodbye Pezet. Goodbye Leo. Hello Wooden spoon.

Some lads here weren't impressed with Pezet so they must be super happy right now.

What's the go then?

Offering him $625k a year suggests someone must have though he was pretty good, or the Knights are incredibly desperate (or both).

no doubt signed with Melb on minimum.

Doesn't the NRL stop things like that? Don't they need to sign on a reasonable amount?

Anyway, frustrated to say the least.

 

[Nuke]

Finding gun or even half-decent players going forward is going to get harder and harder with another two teams joining the NRL in the next four seasons. If we keep losing more than we're gaining, we could very well be in for another long frustrating decade or more.

Both. It's both.

Sadly this development isn't very shocking or surprising. It's sad that the only glimmer of hope for improving the squad was an untested (although highly rated) rookie that we were throwing the bank at - and he still knocked it back.

Losing Leo is going to suck too, but I've been pretty vocal that he's not worth bending the clubs salary cap around. Delighted if he stays for a decent price, we could use the good news.

As always though, our improvement is going to have to come mostly from within. I'm encouraged by what i've seen from kids we've been bringing through lately - and there's a few very very likely candidates that will emerge in the next 12-18 months as well. Sadly, none of them are halfbacks.

Gamble to 7 and hope one of Pryce/Votano/other Knights junior that plays 6 (forget his name) turns out well.
