Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Clearing out some shit. Pretty good effort so far but need to replace them with reasonable quality players though.

Honestly thought we would be stuck with Musgrove and Liddle until they lapsed. Hopefully Brooks not far behind if Newcastle will pick up most of the tab.

As far as I’m concerned if Knights want Brooks in ‘23 they pay full freight, or he can meet the KOE coach.
 
By my count, with Musgrove and Dias officially released, we have 27 in our top 30 for next year (including Talau and also Peachey and Gildart who are assumed to be being moved on).
  1. Blore
  2. Brooks
  3. Doueihi
  4. Fainu
  5. Gildart
  6. Hastings
  7. Kepaoa
  8. Koroisau
  9. Laurie
  10. Maumalo
  11. Naden
  12. Ngatikaura
  13. Nofoaluma
  14. Ofahengaue
  15. Papali'i
  16. Pole
  17. Peachey
  18. Reilly
  19. Seyfarth
  20. Simpkin
  21. Simpkins
  22. Talau
  23. To'a
  24. Tumeth
  25. Tupou
  26. Twal
  27. Utoikamanu
Even with Klemmer we still have a few spaces to be filled.

People need to understand we need to offload before we can bring in..
Only Dogs seem to be able to buy before they offload..

As a lot have said we have let quite a few gone and none signed but IMO Sheens is pretty smart and will have players lined up or even signed.

Exciting times ahead and a whole new team where they can set standards for moving forward.
 
Sheens has to jag some soon. Not long till training starts and I would assume that all clubs would be aiming to have a full preseason especially with incoming players.

If peachey goes - Staines takes his spot and leaves us with 28….
2 spots.

I reckon we’re at least 2 props and 2 second rowers short - a strike centre maybe and a quick Outside back / Fullback….

Normally I'd agree, but with the World Cup happening, all World Cup participating players are able to filter back into NRL club training depending on when they last played - they have to have time off before they rejoin their clubs.
 
If rumours of further departures are true ( and the departure ones usually are its the arrivals ones that are not ) we lose Brooks , Gildardt , Peachy , Maumalo and Jake Simpkin out of a list of 27 which leaves 22 including the likes of Reilly ,Fainu and Tumeth who have never played at NRL level
Everyone happy saying we just sign Klemmer ,Spencer Leinu ,Staines and Dylan
Brown but apart from Klemmer I seriously doubt the rest .
Seems to me that a lot of blind faith is hoping for some great recruits in November.
Please no more over the hill aging forwards eg Woods

The key is who comes in right.

I think though they are making the right calls to date on the existing crop.

Peachy, Gildart to go and from POM Simpkin also might be out.

Klemmer & Leniu right chases
Munster, Moses & Brown also good choices
Staines is better than we have & upgrade squad wise on Peach.

Naden 3yr extension is probably the only questionable call to date.

I don't disagree with any of that. Yeah Naden could have probably got a year or two tops, it could be worse though, he is probably better than most of our 3/4 line.

Prefer Woods for a year than some of those we have let go if it means we keep cap and roster space to build in 24/25.

Being realistic not a huge top line talent will get released early in 23 with the cap increasing larger than expected so gap fill roster players will play a part I feel.
