Sunday Telegraph - Newcastle Edition

[cram]

I am not sure whether anyone here has read the Sunday Tele Newcastle Edition this morning. I have only had a quick look through it but Barry Toohey is reporting that the Knights are chasing Adam Mogg. I have looked for a link but can't find one but it does appear he is off contract at the end of this season.

Can anyone elaborate on this story?

Our signings so far have been good...

But lately all ive been hearing are fairly average players being linked to us.

Id rather just top up someone like Paterson's contract than get someone who will hold the likes of Uate back.

 

[Johns Magic]

Mogg would play centre if he came here one would assume

 

[Jobdog]

I'd be all for signing Mogg tbh. He's a Queensland origin player and played some very good games for the Raiders last year.

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

mogg?..very average

 

[Misanthrope]

Mogg's far from 'very average'. 'Very average' doesn't play a starring role in a Queensland series win. He's solid and reliable. Nothing flashy. A damn side better than the likes of MacDougall, Tighe, and Carmont in the three or four.

 

[Frederick]

Mogg was playing pretty damn well before he left for Les Catalans - only problem is he's 31 next year, so it'll be a no from me

 

[knights7]

I don't think we should sign him but he'd be better then carmont and tighe...

 

[jamesgould]

I thought he was trying to get a release to go back to Canberra, but Les Catalans wouldn't release him? And he wasn't signed up with them for only one year. So I think this story is boderline insane.

Anyway, he was never that good - over his time at Canberra he created nothing at centre - similar to Carmont really, he was fine on defence. Finished well on the wing, but we are fine for wingers. It would be a pretty strange strange signing.

 

[cram]

It hard to say how valid the story is as I have not had the opportunity to read the whole article, Barry Toohey however, generally has some idea what is happening with the club probably due to his association with one Andrew Johns.

Time will tell I guess.

 

[Ben]

If Mogg is the best we can find we are in serious trouble.

 

[stuke]

Brian Smith brought him down to Parra from the QLD Cup comp in 2000 - 2001 but Parra were pretty well served for fullbacks/outside backs at that stage.

Also saw the article had quotes from Steve Crowe so i guess it has some backing to it.

 

[Jono078]

He wouldnt be the worst signing.

But im still hoping we can lure Whatuira before the likes of a Mogg, Vaealiki or Todd Byrne.

 

[Serc]

Don't need him, we already have Kidley, Hinton, Vuna, McManus, Naiqama, Uate, Little Doogs hell even old Mad Dog himself to make a backline with next year and who knows what we are going to do with Polglase, Franze and Seage (who I noticed was on the bench for PL on Friday) next year either. I get the feeling that I've forgotten someone else as well.

 

[Stranger]

Could be worse. We could be like the dragons talking to Brian Fletcher.

 

[Frederick]

:lol: Yeah, those losers

 

[~knights~]

also there is a chance that souths might pick up M.thaiday

 

[Johns Magic]

also there is a chance that souths might pick up M.thaiday

f**k I hope not

 

[Newie is God's Country]

On match payments only, I would say yes. That said he took a long time to bloom.

 

[macavity]

Thaiday is goooorne

wish him luck, he isn't first choice FB here now, and wants first choice FB money.
