Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The Knights players we shall consider are Ponga and Saifiti, and we have the bargaining power!
So instead of has beens like Klammer and Frizzel, we shall over them a swap: Nofoaluma, Seyfarth and Brooks for Saifiti and Ponga! The offer they cannot refuse, if they realy want Brooks!

The fact you mention Ponga surely suggests you're taking the piss.

they will run last with Clune or gamble I'd say as we get closer to Christmas very desperate

Bradman Best desperate perhaps

Brooks for both Klemmer and Frizell seems a good swap to me.

Run with Hastings/Doeuihi for 2023 while we try and get Moses/Brown for 2024.

At the Broncos Herbie Farnworth is a player expected to attract plenty of attention. The talented Englishman has previously made it known he wants a crack at fullback. But you can’t see that happening while Reece Walsh and Selwyn Cobbo are at the club. There is also a sneaky whisper going around linking Farnworth to the Roosters. While he wouldn’t be going there to play fullback, he would certainly fix a problem at left centre.

One man expected to cop a significant salary cut is Gold Coast’s David Fifita, although the blockbusting backrower is still in demand with the Raiders leading the chase for his services for 2024 and beyond. Fifita will get offers around the $800,000-a-season mark which makes him something of a bargain buy given the $1 million he is currently on. It’s worth remembering Fifita is still only 22. (DT)

They mentioned late November ..early December .....not sure if I mentioned that I had heard someone mention we will miss out Magic Round ....

We are one of the home teams for magic round.

O'Brien getting desperate for a 7 now for 2023, would they give up Best ?

That would be good .I'm happy with what the tigers go for .as long as the players perform and we keep our cap under control .not giving players to other clubs for nothing

He was mate but imo he's not at that level now and that is why the Knights want him gone. They've paid too much for him and as Sleeve wrote we should have learnt our own lesson from prior experience.

They want him gone because they have a couple back rowers that have come on, And they paid to much for him.
Neither of those apply to us...

If we got him on a favourable deal - 2 years max. for decent money...
We'd be stupid not to.

We can't all have blind faith in 18-20 year olds that have shown absolutely nothing...

You reference Sheens past glorys every other minute....
That squad of 2005 was built on the backs of Frizzell like signings - Sattler, Beuttner, Graham even...
As well as a couple old hard heads that had been around a while,
We could use both - RIGHT NOW

again

Potentially he would be a good acquisition, the issue I have is - Would we buy another has been?
Our acquisitions of "established players" in the last 10 years is arguably the worst in the NRL🙁

Frizzell isn't a has been....

Has less miles on him than the likes of Finucane - And no one questioned his signing.

We should offer him Fullback this year - It might get him out early....
SO much upside to that kid.

Andrew John’s said whilst commenting a Newcastle game this year on channel 9 - “Frizelle is so tough he plays with a needle before every game and can’t train during the week”

Why would we want that?

I’m sure the tigers management didn’t hear that comment so we’ll probably take him.

The comment I heard Andrew Johns say on Channel 9 was that Frizzel was playing injured every week. The Knights medical staff were begging him to take a week off but he refused. I am not sure if we have different memories of the same comment or if they are two separate comments from Johns (they are not so different anyway).

Irrespective, it’s not good that Frizzel is injured so much but at least he can play through it. The potential upside is if he has a relatively injury free year you should get improved form compared to what Newcastle got out of him last year.

Yea herbie is one I would target
