Rumoured Targets 3

[Alex28]

Dan Ginnane just had his say on our salary cap

He reckons we are on the verge of f**king it up again

Noted great mind of the game Dan Ginnane…

The fact Parra supporters are so wound up is a good sign.

 

[The Predictor]

If Parra fans are salty, it’s probably because this turnip cost us sanders, never fussed on Talagi, that’s why fans have the shits

 

[perverse]

Did he? either way he hasn’t made a massive difference

You've got a short memory if you can't recall what the Knights looked like before Kalyn Ponga.

 

[Knight Tales]

It will be the same when BA arrives, good luck to u guys, but we have a war chest now to sign players who want to play, as a newbie fan I’d be concerned he has signed for nothing but the cash, like many others i guess, but 10 years

The club that let their most talented prospect walk to their bitter rivals cos he wanted to play fullback. Then let the incumbent fullback leave anyway cos their new coach thinks he is a centre. Yep. They will be lining up. Ryles has made some insane recruitment calls for a rookie coach. Based on the fact it comes off as him believing he should assert authority for the sake of it. But we all know Gutho is an alpha player. And I think Ryles was threatened by it myself. Gutho was not having his BS.

I've gotten more and more fine with this as times goes on. We simply must maximize Ponga's prime while we still can. I admire the club's determination to make that happen even if it means a historical deal like this.

If it cripples us for a few years at the end of the contract then so be it, I'd rather be a true contender for 5 years than neither here nor there for another decade. Most clubs go through that cycle naturally anyway.

Not really looking at who won’t be sucking our cap dry next year is he.

Please don't make me remember

 

[Knight Tales]

Eels fans need to turn their anger towards their board. They are on another level of stupidity. Ours is showing some actual balls and it is long overdue.

Exactly. Yes we need a specialist halfback. Who is there to nab? By the time there is a top tier halfback looking to move clubs, KP will be gone or retired.
Between Brown, KP and Sharpe, they’ve all got the skills, just need to learn between them how to control a game when it is tight.

Why be salty it's common knowledge he has a knee that's every chance of rupturing due to his pcl injury last season in spoonbowl , it's a business now so take the money and hopefully he goes well at the knights as he does a heap of work with disabled kids and is genuinely a nice bloke although not overly streetwise

 

[Woody90]

Has anyone at the Knights actually said we want him to play halfback?

They said they’d be “open” to him playing 7 but to me that’s more letting him know we’d be open to it if that’s what he wanted to come, rather than the plan is definitely to play him at 7.

There’s 3 options:

1. Brown at 7 with Sharpe at 6.

2. Brown at 6 with some likes of Cogger/Gamble/new halves signing at 7 with Sharpe back in the backline.

3. Brown at 6 with Sharpe at 7 (least likely but also the one I think the club are aiming for with all of the talk about Fletcher’s talk and footy IQ)

Nope, it was a clean out of BA’s cheer squad mate , that was his intent, tho would have kept RCG, Gutherson on borrowed time

 

[Someone2]

Ponga signed on for nothing but cash initially too. That worked out pretty well for us.

What a couple of W1 finals games? Hasn’t even made it to a prelim

So you agree it takes more than one class player to get that far. Which we've literally just addressed.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Welp...we needed a half and we got the best one available at the time. Who knows how it'll shake out in the end but for now it's a big positive for the club.

 

[The Predictor]

Fletcher is the one to watch in ur team, I’m guessing lots of clubs will be watching as well

 

[HarVeeGee]

They’ll be watching for a while. In the first year of a 4 year contract.

Yes, we know, we signed him up long term in the pre-season too.
