not 1st grade but in rlw mole section last week it says Luke Brooks from the tigers is being chased hard by bennett

Brooks is a gun young half. He has some of the biggest wraps i've ever seen placed upon a 17 year old. Those amongst the WT community think he'll be an absolute superstar. I've heard one guy describe him as 'simply dominant' and the most naturally gifted halfback he's ever seen.

Big wraps on a kid but sometimes when everyone, including nearly every single NRL coach, has the same opinions of him after watching him play then you have to sit up and take notice.

sound very impressive the kid i really rate atm is luke keary from souths u20's he's a superstar in the making imo

He also made the Australian Schoolboys side. I have only seen one game this year by Holy Cross and the one that really impressed me was his halves partner - Mitchell Moses.

Now this kid is a gun but unlikely we would ever get him being Benny Elias nephew.

Moses started out at Parra but they weren't keen to keep him

Doesn't surprise me with their record of retention of their juniors

 

[aqua_duck]

Daniel Tupou, the roosters winger who tore the tigers a new one today is an ex parra junior as well

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Parra are as guilty as we are of letting local juniors go that go on to bigger things. Paul Gallen would top Parras list. As for non local juniors, we lost the signature of Steve Renouf in 1988 cos some tool thought he was too small for first grade. Greatest attacking centre of his generation.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Brent Kite has been given permission by Manly to look for another club

We need another quality prop and even though I dont rate him that highly, he would be a decent addition for the right price

He couldn't be any worse than Snowden, who has been totally useless this season.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Useless is a little over the top mate. Sub par maybe

Yes, sorry, maybe a bit strong, but he hasn't given value for money, and I feel the club paid overs for him.

 

[RABK]

Snowden had an average year but try to remember he was plagued by chronic neck and back pain for a year which he carried right through the pre season and into 2012. He was essentially cut down in his prime as when the injuries flared up in 2011 he was a current Origin and Australian prop averaging about 150m a game.

Those injuries obviously set him back a far way because he looked fat, slow and passive for all of 2012. I hope 6 months off will see him back to 100% fitness and health for 2013 and we might see 2010 Snowden return.

Then he would be value for money.

What sort of stats has Kite produced this season?

Aside from looking like he isn't the full quid.

He looks scared every time he hits the line, only front rower out there to run sideways.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

A few years ago Kite was an outstanding front rower. I have a mate that's a Dragons supporter and he was always dirty that the club kept Ryles and let Kite go.

Kite has been with Manly for a long time, so maybe he has been getting stale there and needs a change of scenery to bring out his best.

I read in the Daily Telegraph yesterday that Justin Poore is expected to talk to the knights this week. The knights and an English Superleague club are favourites to sign him.

 

[Newie is God's Country]

If we got Poore and Smith we can fairly say we have recruited pretty solidly in comparison to how it looked 3-4 months ago. Poore is a very solid player. He has been unwanted at Parra for a while plus had injuries. Kearney not a fan of his for whatever reason and Stuart needs cap space with Hopate coming in 2014. At 27 Poore has plenty left. I think there are plenty of reasons for a rep player losing ground at clubs. Money is the biggest but personality can't be disregarded. Cleary sacking Lewis shows that to be true. It wasn't for effort or talent purposes.
