Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I don’t know.
I don’t hate it.
I don’t love it.
i loved the on field energy and drive JH brought to the team but he is limited and I do feel that other teams worked him out pretty quick.
Brooks??? 50/50 Will have a vastly improved pack to work off…. Has pace… will probably be instructed to play to his perceived strengths unlike with Madge (?) …also makes sense if management have another 1/2 or 5/8 in the works…..🤷‍♂️

I wonder how the club views Doueihi now as well. A 2 year extension for Brooks is 3 more years and the club appears to want to purchase a half.

I'd like to believe through the lens of Farah, Marshall, Lawrence and potentially Brooks all making sacrifices to stay at WTs.
 
Without a dominant forward pack, everything else is secondary.

So from that perspective, Klemmer is a requirement, Jackson a luxury.

I'm not against it, I also have no issues with the fluidity of the situation.

We came last, our forwards were dominated and things needed to change.
 
Hastings has scored himself a hefty pay rise with the Knights.
Once it was clear that Brooks wasn’t going to be released for 2023 Knights changed focus.
Sheens met with Hastings management & made the point very clear that his future was at 13.
It moved fast from there.
The hope is to build a forward pack that Brooks can actually play off.
Bateman deal will be finalised in the week but he will be here.
Very early talk for Brooks but the club would hope to present a restructured deal for 2 year extension but a reduced rate.

Very important meeting with Moses management next week where a formal offer is expected to be presented.

Matamua expected to be elevated to top 30.
Thanks @THE_POM, any idea if Chris Fa'agutu will be joining NRL squad training any time soon? Also is Dudley Dotoi still with the club for next season? 2 Aussie Schoolboys who I would love to see get a real crack in the coming years.
 
Adam won’t be extended for the time being.
He needs to show his ability in the halves at the moment. Sheens isn’t convinced either.
Love that from Sheens. Players should have to earn their next contract. It shouldn't be handed out based on potential. If they go and sign somewhere before that happens, then it is what it is and their heart was never really in it.
