Rumoured Targets 3

[TheCrowe]

Talented enough to play FG very soon?

Needs a good off season to put on some muscle. Highly thought of at the Eels but the Knights outbid them.

 

[Jono078]

Matthew Hunter 21yr old halfback from Eels cup side signed for 3 years.
Talented player.

He has the name to become a legend here.

Sounds like POS is building some depth at the club which we’ve been sorely lacking for a while. If we can land Mooney or another first grade ready front rower then it’s not a bad result.

Flegg skipper and killing it in Cup after only 9 games. That includes five tries. Not afraid to try the line it would appear.

That's not true , he's a good young player but ryles wants Fletcher and talantino in reserve grade , he'll be a good player for the knights but eels made no offer to him

 

[Knight Tales]

Garrick has rejected Manly offer. Shame we can’t fit him anywhere cos he is reliable, can defend and more importantly is a great goal kicker. Gags has done well kicking goals, but we need every point we can muster, and losing close games cos of poor converting is pretty amateur in this day and age IMO. Especially when you play the style we do.

Any chance we can bring Fermor back? He is being shopped.

Another 5/8th? We collecting them though?

Ok, was just going on what I heard from a podcast. Maybe they just were not prepared to match the Knights offer.
Same result.
Lots of potential.

Might mean Gamble and Cogger will both be allowed to find offers elswhere

Reckon this kid might be on a development deal next year, then upgrade to top 30 in 2027 when cogger/gamblor move on. Like Hunt.

Does Hunter goal kick?

No to Garrick but I would take Fermor back in a heartbeat

Not a sexy signing but middle forward depth is vital for us.

Not making him an offer to sign Heatherington on fair coin is looking like a typical bonehead move

Hmmm hindsight is a wonderful thing. Hetherington is a guy who everyone talks about as being a freak, even Phil Gould was singing his praises as an athlete. His ceiling is obviously very high and AOB must have felt that he could get him to that level. Obviously it hasn’t panned out that way which is a shame.

Meanwhile Saulo has just had a couple of years training with the best forward pack in the comp (which is probably better for him than being here) and hasn’t really played much FG down there so wouldn’t be a guy that we had to pay much to get back here.

So overall it probably evens itself out because we get Saulo back for cheap when he’s probably a better player than when he left.

And that is where the coaching position needs to be addressed at it’s core. If a former player returns a better player and the same coach is still here, then it tells you that it’s time to move them on. There is a reason most Bellamy former players fall apart at other clubs. With the exception of the obviously brilliant ones.

Whilst I agree that AOB should be sacked (for his completely one dimensional approach to Rugby League) I don’t think your logic really stacks up. Based on that logic, Trent Robinson should be sacked because Dom Young is looking better under AOB than he did at the Roosters.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Besides, my point was that Saulo has been training with Papa and Tapine for a couple of seasons, arguably two of the best front rowers in the game. I’d expect any young front rower to improve with those two being mentors.
