Rumoured Targets 3

[Alex28]

Dom ain't on 500k. Wild they keep running with that. That's what we offered him.

Didn’t he sign for less with the Roosters but with a Range Rover and TPA’s?

I reckon there is an issue with the TPA’s too.

When he went to the Roosters, it was reported our offer was 500k. Toohey at the time said the Roosters offer was higher.

There's a Rooster bloke on this forum who obviously had inside info based on his other posts (but doesn't post in Roosters forum cause its dead) who says Dom is on 600k. Ill trust that over whatever spin is coming out of the Roosters.

The whole 'dinnindunuffin' act from Robinson is a laugh, they're paying 600k for a winger performing at NSW Cup standard, of course they want him off the books.

 

[Burwood]

We’ll be signing his brother as well…

The number of people that are believening the rubbish that the club came out with yesterday, I find it hard to believe any Roosters fan.

If Dom is in 600 k then it is hard to hold that against him as the reason he left.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

And play him where? I think that ship sailed the moment we signed Brown.

HB, Sharpe to FB, Ponga walks out the door to the Roosters, Team gets younger and gains that extra 1.2-1.4 back to fill the forward pack.

 

[Woody90]

Lmao we’re not trying to sign Pezet again. He doesn’t want to come and also he’s not that good so far.

 

[HarVeeGee]

If Kalyn for whatever reason walked out on us this year, POS would not at all be dissuaded from chasing Pezet again if he thinks it's the right player. Dylan Brown knocked him back at two different clubs before he signed for the Knights.

Ponga out Pezet in would clear up more like $800K in cap space, not $1.2 million.

 

[Woody90]

Pezet for Ponga would be a horrendous downgrade. We don’t even know if he’ll be a regular first grader yet. He wouldn’t come here anyway for any sort of money anyway. We already offered him more than he’s worth and he rejected us.

 

[mozza91]

Yeah an unproven, injury prone kid who doesn’t want to be here doesn’t seem like a great target.

 

[SamSepi0l]

I feel like this needs to be pinned somewhere but next year's halves are Sharpe and Brown. That's all. We're not picking up a 7.

 

[HarVeeGee]

POS had a young half signed a couple of weeks ago until he backflipped during the cooling off period. A pretty highly touted 20 year old half who's now playing halfback for the Dragons. That's an odd thing to do if you think you're 100% locked into the spine you have now.

I think at the very least they're looking to put a fallback plan together should KP decide not to stay with the club - which, if they're chasing a guy like King-Togia, who let's be clear *would not* have been on minimum wage with us, we're looking at more like $300K, they must think is a real possibility.

Well we are going to likely lose 2 reserve grade halves next year, possibly 3. A smart operator would be looking to get a young guy on relatively low $$ to replace them.

 

[HarVeeGee]

Don't try to take my tinfoil hat off, I think it suits me.

 

[slotmachine]

King-Togia was a weird attempted signing, he's a 5/8.

Toohey's News

- Signing priorities are a backrower, prop and outside back.
- Pearce-Paul has a big offer from another NRL club which the Knights won't match.
- Gagai is expecting to play on next year. Already has a mutual option but his agent is working on a new deal.
- In response to Trent Robinson's comments O'Sullivan says the Knights had permission from the Roosters to negotiate with Dom and that their stance on how much they were willing to pay never changed. Toohey says it remains to be seen if a deal is salvageable.

Wonder who wants KPP. Good luck to him, he's way overpaid here and a better coach and team might be able to make something of him.

If the rumours a few weeks back were to be believed, its Parramatta

 

[Old dog]

Thought I heard Tigers somewhere?

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Hmm could have been Tigers. Was part of a 3way swap from memory that may or may not have been a cooked up Rothfield fantasy
