Who's left to sign?

[macavity]

my mail is he wants to come back.

whether the club will have him back, who knows. I hope so.

Jimmy really didn't impress me in his comeback stint. Dunno if doogs still has the speed to play on the wing though.

I also forgot Tui in that write up.

 

[timka4]

mmm Sau and Doogs is a strong but fairly slow edge

doogs is quicker than jimmy.

i would put money on doogs, sau, mark t, zeb, gidley, rogers, patterson and mika and at a stretch faaso, being quicker than jimmy.

jimmy (prior to getting injured) was quality in defense and dummy half runs.

to be honest, id rather lulia on the wing than jimmy.

It could be Mids and Doogs on one side...surely that'd have to be the oldest and most experienced centre-wing combo in history

 

[Noname36]

What's with all the Jimmy hate? I agree that at this stage that he's probably the weakest link in our backline (which is more of a compliment to our backline as I think he's a good player), but to say that Lulia is better than him is just laughable.

 

[Rolla]

Id have Jimmy over Lulia but thats about it. Doogs and sau on one side would be better. They could swap positions all game. Also they are both great meter eaters. Other option is Kev getting a run on that flank.

I wasn't jimmy's biggest fan before his injury and he looked pretty rusty after, you know when you pinpoint his dummy half runs as one of his three strengths you are struggling cos id say gids, coop, aku, sau and doogs all beat him in that department coming out of our end these days.... I think he would be one of the most reliable backup wingers around.

 

[Rolla]

Mac re: your side. Tui in for Housten, since it is an unknown and he has also had a long stint off (Though so has tui) and Mark T for Tolar. Edwards the first prop to come in. With or without houstens potential return we have a lot of depth outside that squad also. Plenty of youth around the fringe too.

 

[macavity]

Forgot Mark too....

I think it is odds-on we will lose Crossy.

Hope we get Houso back, he more than covers.

 

[Noname36]

So it appears that we aren't going to sign any props, and we're basically resigned to losing Crossy?

Ugh. SOS Houso.

 

[RABK]

I am told by someone who bloody well should know that it counts towards the cap.....

Someone has to cop expense to their salary cap in an NRL transfer but an international transfer? I'm near sure you'll find it does not count towards the cap.

well if Kev Naiqama cracks 1st grade next year we'd have one of the fastest wing combos ever

I rate House but he doesnt cover Crossy IMO. Different Players.

well clear it with the NRL, then contact the club with that POV - because they think otherwise.

 

[88.Knights]

one of doogs or midley has to be with aku on the right, if we get farrar then that would be alright tho.

 

[Weels]

I think you can forget about finding a combination to fit Midley & Doogs.
I have grave doubts the club would keep two old farts on the books regardless of who they were.

After learning on Tuesday that St George Illawarra enforcer Jeremy Smith had rejected a three-year deal from Newcastle and agreed to join Cronulla, Stone said the Knights had wasted no time in assessing other options.
"We've been doing a bit of work on that today," Stone said yesterday.
"We've been having a bit of a look around and seeing what might transpire in the next couple of days."

Double post - please delete!

Surely you do that BEFORE you miss out on a player. If Smith was target A, we should have had an offer for target B ready to go.

Im sure they do

 

[macavity]

In the spirit of re-uniting our 2001 squad, I have it on good authority our target B is Paul Marquet.... :sarcasm:
