The Rumours Thread

Lawrie has an ineffective running style. He shuffles around like a geisha and is easy to knock over.

But we do have Guler now and he might turn out okay.

Even 450k is slight overs for Hazleton. Bloke scores a couple of tries as a front rower and turns into a bit of a cult figure and suddenly we're undercutting him with that offer? Not at all. Hazleton isn't that good and in all honesty for what he offers 375-400k is about what his actual value is. He doesn't defend particularly well, especially on the goal line, and doesn't provide good quality for long minutes. Upgrade on Lawrie easily, but in terms of our top 17, he's an upgrade on Eisenhuth and that's about it. You could argue he's better than Sele simply on availability alone, but if Hame is available, he's the better player. Wouldn't be paying anywhere over 450k for this bloke, 600k is absolutely laughable, and if anyone does pay that then good luck to them

I trust Flanno to sign Hazelton at the right price. With Hazelton, I believe we have a good prop rotation with a mix of experienced and junior players.

I am looking forward to seeing the young guys stepping up in 2025.

Guler and Hazleton in 2026 will at least give us the size we need in the middle.

Yes, we have:
Hazelton
Guler
R Couchman
T Couchman
Tonga
Fifita

It is a great lineup that I look forward to seeing in action.

We don't need F Molo, Lawrie, and Rava. Send them on their way.

he's worth whatever a club is prepared to pay.

Fifita should not be on that list

I honestly don't think we're securing a top line prop for 2025 at this late stage. I think we're better off sorting molo out and getting him up and running again. He can go at the end of the season if we get a decent replacement. Surely when he understands the club hasn't granted a release he'll realise he needs to get back on the field if he wants a club to take him on for 2026 and beyond. Besides his brother's contracted for 2025 so it makes sense if they both finish up then.

What sort of player do we get under those conditions? A Sulky player is a shadow of hi contract value player.

There's a rumour I'm going to Kogarah on 30 may my girlfriend is a knights fan if anyone has a spare cot I'm happy to pay my way I'm living in Muswellbrook these days guys let me know if you want to put us up just the one night rjtmygov648@gmail.com thanks guys

"crickets"

 

[Gardenia]

I’d say Molo is done, how can someone go back to work when they outright just stop showing up? Couchman will be improved out of sight, one more would be nice but not a deal breaker

He has been granted leave. Probably has a doctor's letter or something

 

[Gardenia]

NB: Thanks for Gutho he’s a beauty.

Yes he is wonderful

How Ryles let him go is beyond me

well it is our gain

I was told the other day by a guy with Parra connections that they reckon his knees are shot therefore happy to let him go, so who knows!

[Auntie.Gerald]

The same guy who won our time trials in the pre season ?

Tedesco since his first ACL recon has flown to the USA every single pre season for stem cell injections yet King Gutho hasn’t had to go to that level.

I’ve been told he’s been getting his knee drained after each training s session

 

[Old Timer]

Well if his knees are shot we will soon find out as the No 1 at our club has lots and lots to do every game.

With all due respect, if your mate "knows" this, I think Flanno would also have known.

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Is it possible that Gutho was getting his schooner drained at the end of each training session??
