Rumoured Targets 3

Actually it's probably Prycey who has the biggest boot at the club tbh.

Calm down Lich. Pretty sure nobody has suggested this.

Slither back under ya rock.

Knights have a golden opportunity to become the #1 regional club of choice for the players I mentioned, provided they get it right off field and show ambition to be genuine contenders rather than signing an underperforming coach to a 5 year extension because he's old mates with the guys running the club.

It is a standout destination for any player looking to raise a family . The Knights have a great advantage rather than anything negative. It's all a matter of marketing and managing the media.

It can be debated whether a half who basically just plays a side of the field is worth $1.3 million… but that’s what Jahrome Hughes is, and no one would blink an eye over him getting paid that. Scoring and setting up lots of tries in a winning team obliterates all objections.

At 24 he has plenty of time to develop his game. If no ratchet clauses are in his deal 1.3 could very well develop to be a great deal.

The Knights have 2 choices 1) Brown or someone similar (there's no one else on the horizon) 2) Stay the same, sometimes make the 8, and say bye bye to Ponga

Let us hope it works out. And if it does not then we are in for more of a bumpy ride to the top four for many years to follow. But we at least had a crack at turning us into a side which players wish to be at.

The Dylan Brown talk has all gone quiet over the last few days hasn’t it. I’m wondering if he’s either signed with us and everyone’s waiting for the cooling off period to end so it can be announced. Or maybe his manager is still trying to squeeze a better deal out of Parra. Who knows…

Looking at how Moses's new contract was handled, I think they have accepted they were going to lose Brown. Hopefully we have snagged him up.

 

[Knight Tales]

It will be interesting to see the media’s view of our ‘desperation’ if he helps Parra beat Melbourne and creates history.

I honestly believe Brown just wants more money off Parra... Probably has zero intention of actually leaving.

 

[slotmachine]

I reckon that's how it started, but the ridiculous money thrown at him makes it hard to say no.

 

[perverse]

Agree with the above. It seems everyone is keen for the deal except for Parra and Brown, but it's an almost impossible contract to turn your back on. Which is the point of the contract. Not sure how I feel about taking on a reluctant new star signing, I guess you just trust that he'll adapt and enjoy his time once his feet hit the ground.
