Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The pressure will be on Brooks big time. Touted by Joey as the player to steer the Knights to the next level. Imagine the flak he will get from the Knights army when he comes up with countless dumb fifth tackle options. Maybe it’s a ploy to take the heat off Ponga who only delivers once a month

Could be the reason why Albert Kelly is being talked to for a T&T contract.

Kade Hill not physically ready, Mikey Tannous seen more as a hooker but can play half and more physically ready.

I'm still on the Jake Clifford on a smaller deal for 2 years bandwagon as a project for Sheens & particularly Benji.

Jake Clifford and Albert Kelly are both players who have had their moments. I feel they both have had several cracks at NRL and are just not up to it. Brodie Croft would be the best option in England but that doesn't inspire much confidence either unfortunately. Our only option might be paying overs on the best flegg or reserve grade half who won't be playing firsts at their club.

Sounds like Brooks has made his mind up and wants to leave given he provided notice with Sheens away. We better go hard in the player market for at least 24 because right now we don't really have much left in the tank at the club. Brooks is better than the Kelly alternative.

If Sheens wants Hastings at lock like POM said it will be interesting if this either sees a clear shift of Hastings to Halfback or if we see a Laurie and AD lineup in the halves with Staines at fullback (if the Peach/Staines activity happens). Outside of that we really don't have many options aside from maybe chasing Nathan Brown who can ball play somewhat as our depth in the halves is terrible.

Sounds like we are in a hedging our bets waiting game across the market atm.

we need Moses or Dylan Brown in 2024 or we are in trouble

There's something with releasing deadwood for sure....
But continuously giving untested kids top 30 spots is just Stupid!!

Also gives him an excuse every single day for not competing.....

I'll reserve judgement until the roster is finalised in February. Lots of movement every offseason.

Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire, one club town one of the immortals as your mentor.
Big ask for Brooksy we've already seen his backbone go to jelly.
