The Rumours Thread

[ouryears]

I had also been thinking the same OKB1 , the club seems to have a fair bit of money , good financial housekeeping no doubt .

I think it's from Newcastle Wests leagues club who now own the knights (?)

 

[ouryears]

What the f*#%+k ? ? ? Frank , pardon my ignorance but is that correct , can the NRL actually fine clubs for not spending their salary cap ? If so then how do the rorter clubs have such large bank accounts ?

Yes it's true, spend the salary cap or cop a fine. NRL provide money to clubs from their tv rights cash and the rule is spend your cap.

They have to offer overs, would you live in Newcastle?

I went to Newcastle for 2 weeks recently, the whole area is great, I would move there tomorrow.

Wow! You're better than me! I couldn't relax until 5 to go!

I know Ben Kusto, it's terribly stressful.

Often I go for a walk after 15 mins and come back with 10 to go, but even then I can only bear to watch it if we are 13 or more ahead.

It's cost be many great matches, many great tries and many great moments.

Damn it all. Caring so much couldn't be healthy.

Yeah, funny the stress you voluntarily go through as a footy fan. Against the Rabbits I had relaxed with about 15 mins to go thinking there was no way Souths were going to score a try that night. But then 2 in 2 minutes and I was so stressed and shocked that I lost track of the score in that tense last 5 minutes. Thought we were only 2 points ahead so could not understand Souths not taking an easy shot at goal.

There are also posts in Facebook saying LAM has signed with Newcastle. I hope that is wrong.

Warriors in hunt for Ah Mau, as well

Dragons prop Leeson Ah Mau could be set for a decent payday, as NRL clubs line up to sign the hard-working but typically low-profile forward.

Having already been linkedto the Knights, Panthers, and his current club, the Dragons, the latest word is that the Warriors have entered the race for his signature as well.

Responding to questions on twitter about the chances of Ah Mau signing with the Knights, Newcastle Herald reporter Barry Toohey said that the “Warriors (are) in for him“, and “(it) probably depend(s) on how bad Warriors want him (and) how much they have in cap (space)”.

The tone of Toohey’s tweets sound as though the Warriors and Knights are now the leading options for Ah Mau in 2019, which could then have a domino effect on other forwards around the NRL, like Tim Glasby, who’s previously been linked to both the Knights and Panthers as well.

Ah Mau has played 161 first grade games for the Dragons, Cowboys and Warriors, and 15 Tests for Samoa.
