Rumours and Stuff

[Incorrect]

My mail is that Knight and Ricky don't get on.

I like him already!!

 

[Gronk]

And doesnt ring any alarm bells for you? No red flags?

We'll get him in the ScoMo, Hayne, Mannah Hillsong squad.

Apart from Norman, Knight would obviously be the biggest dickhead in the club if we sign him. His level of dickheadness is so much worse than Terepo, Paulo, Manu and Williams ever were.

Am I missing something? Wasn't it drink driving/speeding? Whilst stupid and reckless, it pales in comparison to Paulo (road rage), Mau (whatever it was he did to land him in jail) & T-Rex (same as Knight but with kids in car)

Hahahaha good one hindy. We all know no one is ever going to hug your nuts so that makes it funny

Well everyone on here to busy huggn BA nutz

 

[hindy111]

How is his 5 year plan going? Have they won a premiership yet in his tenure?

Finals 4/5 times. Fairly sure won a game in every finals series.
I'd take that over a wooden spoon.

Not really.
How is your sarcasm detector today?

Knight did the same thing as Terepo and Williams which was somewhat less than Paulo and significantly less than Ma'u

I was being sarcastic FFS.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Why can’t be have both???

Of course. The most likely way of getting (and retaining) both is to start with the club.

When does nuthugger become not clever and ridiculously hilarious anymore?

You're a victim of your own normal balance, logic and knowledge.

He sprayed aeorguard into his mouth...sack him already

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not sure, I guess the ones that win wooden spoons

Of the spoon winning coaches of the past ten years the only ones currently without (head) coaching jobs are Cartwright (2011), Stone (2015) and Fittler (2009).

Obviously need to change the batteries.

Apologies MJC.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We have enough juniors to fill those spots, so why buy one who has shown nothing at the 2 clubs he has been with. They might turn out to be guns. I would have thought if you're going to buy players they'll improve your roster, not just make up the numbers.

Like whom? Sean Keppie? He hasn't even played reserve grade. Knight has been dominant in NSW Cup this year. He's more chance of contributing in first grade for five or six games than Keppie.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’d rather give the contract to a young bloke like Stefano, apparently he played Knight recently and gave him as good as he got at just 18.

Utoikamanu: 37 metres
Knight: 190 metres

I'm sure Utoikamanu will end up a better player than Liam Knight, but it won't be next year.

I was being sarcastic FFS.

So was I FFS

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Or maybe he is a massive plodder???

It's only reserve grade but he has been strong in the finals, playing long minutes, racking up huge numbers of tackles and carrying for over 160 metres in both games.

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah Stefano is only 18 and will probably end up the better player at some stage, but in that game, Knight player 78 mins and made 190 m , Stefano played 32mins for 37m (he also missed 4 tackles compared to knights 1)

https://www.nswrl.com.au/siteassets...orts/stats---isp-round-23---wentymounties.pdf

Knight is also averaging around 145m in NSW cup

https://www.nswrl.com.au/players/intrust-super-premiership-nsw/mounties/liam-knight/

While in his 9 or so NRL games this year he was averaging around 6 runs for 55m 14 tackles for 96% success rate (happy to be corrected if stats are wrong). While they don’t look that impressive at first, he actually wasn’t playing that many mins - it looked like he was only playing around 25 mins a game so they aren’t to bad.

Definitely potential there to be making 100-140 m a game plus 30 tackles in 45-50 mins.

So considering he is still a rookie with 10 games, plays prop (takes longer to develop) and is a big body which we need (194cm / 106 kg), it probably wouldn’t be a bad signing as a 6th to 8th rated prop.

There is potential there, I suspect he wouId be cheap and doubt he wouId cost a rookie / junior a spot either. Also it’s probably being a dickhead which has held him back.

f**ken beat me to it, merkin.

 

[emjaycee]

So was I FFS

I know. That's the only reason i liked your post FFS.

 

[hineyrulz]

So whats stopping us???
