It might currently seem that Bula wants to remain but he’s managed by the lowlife CnT.Hence we are better of finding another fullback coz as night follows day the detestable CnT will next season be agitating to get Bula out of concord

Maybe, but Bula is quoted as saying he wants to stay here, I wouldn't be chucking him out until that is confirmed and I'm sure Richo has had a conversation with him.
I don't think every player is like Galvin.
The player is in charge of what he wants, the managers job is to make it happen.
I did read, that should Bula take up the club option ($900k I believe), then his new management doesn't get a cent out of it, as it was done prior to them taking him on.

Not sure what KPP is on so it's hard to make a decision, but he is in a position we have absolutely no depth in. Newcastle seem to have no idea on recruitment and retention (Dylan brown) so I'd not put any stock on them wanting to release him.

Hi! Knights supporter here. It’s not so much that we want to release KPP, it’s just that he’s on 750k per season currently which is just way too much for what he’s offered so far. He was one of the many horrible contracts put together by our old recruitment manager that we’re now paying for and need to undo.

The Knights have offered him another contract but a fair bit lower and the Newcastle media are reporting he has a fairly big offer to go to another club. Not sure if that’s you guys, I know the Raiders were also keen at some point.

He’s definitely got some good natural ability so I’d be keen to see what he can do under a coach that’s not AOB. My preference would definitely be to keep him but yeah, it’s purely come down to money the Knights moving him on, not that he has no ability.

The hypocrisy of the journo's, Tapau is set to leave the club after likeing a post from an ex Tiger player about the coach and no one has a problem.
We drop a player for his own good and we are the worst in the world.

What about the hyprocisy of the Broncos? That would be a better article if they had the guts to write it.

A player driving on drugs and nearly kills a little girl gets a slap on the wrist while they move to sack a player for liking an Insta post.

No wonder they have culture issues.

That has similarities of where society is atm Tm. People are losing touch understanding the difference between right and wrong and how to go about things in a nice way.

Save your money and develop Tony Sukkar.
He looks the goods to me.

Strange one, eh?
Shedding players over the offseason because they have cap issues.
Then they sign Brown on the richest deal in history.
Two players taking up ~30% of the cap.
Then turn around and wonder why their squad is weak across the park.

I wouldn't touch fifita unless the terms were very favourable to us. I think he's on a million a year and has 2 years left at the GC. I'd be willing to shell out $400k a year for him. And GC pay the rest. He's just too much of a risk and lazy AF. And if he doesn't get his way he has a good cry about it.

The only terms favourable enough to consider him would be if the Titans paid his entire salary, plus find him accommodation secure enough to keep him the hell away from the squad.
Absolute cancer on a team.

Are you a Knights supporter?
Just wondering about your comment on KPP.
I made a comment earlier, that when we played them, he done nothing for me, but their a lot of judges who rate him in both attack and defence and the only reason they are letting him go, is salary cap issues (prob Brown).

Sharks fan, Knights hater.

I haven't watched a lot of them, tbh. But from what I've seen of him I wouldn't be chasing him. Particularly when you have someone like Sukkar coming through.
KPP might be handy as a back up, and if the Knights chipped in half the freight, but that's about it IMHO.

I've watched KPP closely all in all his games. For someone with such size and athleticism, he sure doesn't use that at all to his advantage. It baffles me how ineffective he is.

KPP is a gun, I’d take him in a heart beat, decent size about him, decent ball player. Like any good player in an out of form side it’s hard to showcase your wares, I’ve seen a couple of signs from this lad

Blunted in attack by bog ordinary halves and a coach that doesn’t want to acknowledge that he is wrong.

Good to know but do you see anything that we can use, he's apparently very close to being signed, if not already.
