Season over. Let's talk 2026.

[eel01s]

I think anyone off contract should go. See if we can encourage some others to move on as well.

Stuff development, we need some experience in key positions. At the moment, we don't have a hooker, second row or decent centre/wing options outside of Lomax/Addo Carr. No intimidators in the pack.

Who would you keep for '26 outside of Moses and Lomax?

For me:
Williams
Tuivati
Russell (purely as back up)
Ionghi

Everyone else expendable.

Vegas Rd 1 baby

Vegas Rd 1 baby

Oh God no. What an embarassment that will be.

 

[JokerEel]

Oh God no. What an embarassment that will be.

Agree I hope we have told the NRL we won't be waisting their time and ours by sending a team to be embarrassed

Was told today 2026 is off the cards

So forget it.

Dogs and Dragons analed us with the double act to play each other.

Storm v Cows will be other game

I think Ryley Smith's worth holding onto.

That sounds like the plot of the movie I saw on SBS when I turned over at halftime.

You could be right after Dragons and Dogs were announced, PVL wants a QLD team and Melbourne.

How sad is it, that after 2 NRL games there's already a thread about next year, sums up how backwards we've gone.

 

[Twizzle]

2 games, lol

 

[eel01s]

Sorry, but the rest of the league is LOL about us.

 

[Stagger eel]

good news regarding missing out on Vegas, seriously why would you go there whilst we're shit and at a country lead by merkins?

 

[lucablight]

I’m still hopeful we can make the 8.

We still gonna be shit start of next year?

 

[Gary Gutful]

I'd write 2026 off as well.

 

[Wally21]

unfortunately I think 26 will be another rebuilding year.

 

[the phantom menace]

I'd write 2026 off as well.

With our 2026 hopes also up in flames, at least we can look forward to Round 10 (2026) to finally find out if Penisini takes up his Player Option - or whether that Knights offer of an 8 year contract at 1.2mil per season from 2027 will be enough to test his loyalty...
