FRIZELL TO STAY

Veteran forward Tyson Frizell has all but confirmed he will re-sign with the Knights amid speculation he could be forced out.

There was a report a couple of weeks ago revealing the Wests Tigers were interested in Frizell’s services, however the 31-year-old told Zero Tackle he “will” remain at the Knights, where he is “very happy and comfortable.”

Frizell, who earnt an Origin recall for NSW in game one, is coming off contract at the end of the season but he has no interest in signing anywhere else — especially after purchasing a new home in Newcastle.

“Yeah, I will (remain at the Knights),” Frizell said.

“I’m very happy and comfortable where I am... and my future will hopefully sort itself out, and hopefully, I guess, sooner rather than later.”

“I think any player that goes through it when we’re off contract at the end of the year and potentially other clubs that are interested in you,” he added when asked about the rumours regarding his future.

“All you can control is what you do on the field, and it’ll all take care of itself.

“(There is) no pressure at all. I guess if people are talking about it, it’s probably a good thing, so it doesn’t bother me whatsoever.”

Moses has not been at Parramatta for 8 years, nor has he been a Top 30 player in the NRL at large for 10 years.

He played Harold Matts with Parramatta, before being signed by the Tigers and playing SG Ball, Jersey Flegg, NSW Cup and then onto First Grade. If that qualifies as Parramatta 'developing him' then I'll stand corrected.

So, arrogant wording aside, excuse me if I'm not too impressed with being corrected by someone who is not only incorrect, but can't even be bothered spelling 'Frizzel' or 'Korisau' correctly.

It also wasn't the point of the original post.

Doubling down when you're wrong. Bold move...

You didn't know the rules. You don't do research. Pipe down and stop spreading misinformation and lies. Do you work for News Corp by any chance?

Telegraph has updated its story on McDonnell leaving with quotes from him ...

“Scott and I are entirely different people,” McDonnell said.

“We work in different ways and deal with people differently. It was never going to work but I take great pride in what we have achieved at the Tigers.

“The club has never been in better shape. We have recruited some quality players and we have some great kids coming through.

“The club is set up for long term success and I take great pride in the role I played in that.”

These comments are ridiculous.
Have seen a few around if brooks was decent bloke.
500k with the cap increase would struggle to get you a top 13 player these days let alone a half.

As if you would do that. Walk into your current employer in the current economy and where the cap had a massive increase and say hey can you take 20% off.

Why expect someone else to do so.

What's happened in the past with Brooks contract is past or almost .
In offering a new deal he can't be expected to return some of it via discounting his new contract rather if he can maintain his form offer a reasonable market value but no more 4 years ! IMO 2 years at $1.3 mill is fair 650k pa .Brooks should feel a bit grateful as the club ( if not all the fans ) has shown tremendous loyalty to him thru long periods where he was not in good form !
I think he's playing very well lately and would like him to stay !

Apologies, he has played for 10 years in the NRL, so he does qualify on that front. You're correct.

You didn't know the rules. You don't do research. Pipe down and stop spreading misinformation and lies. Do you work for News Corp by any chance?

I do know the rules and I do plenty of research, thank you.

I was correct in what long-serving player allowance is. It took me 15 minutes to try and find the updated information yesterday before I posted that in fact. Furthermore, considering the post was for 2024, there is no current information I could find for projections for the 2024 long-serving player allowance, so had to use figures from 2023.

I was correct in what the rule is, it's stipulations and dollar value to the club.
I was correct in his time at Parramatta.
I was correct in his junior footy involvement.

What I did do was overlook the fact that it had been 10 years since his debut and you have rightly corrected me. I am genuinely surprised it has been that long.

You're needlessly combative here and I'm a little confused as to why.

And once again, whether Mitchell Moses is eligible for the long-serving player allowance or not was not the focus of the original post. If you would like me to adjust the numbers for you, just let me know. Seems a weird thing to nit-pick.

It's hardly 'spreading misinformation and lies' my friend.

I am confident based on maths
We put 66 pts on cowboys with their origin stars
Next cowboys go close to beating Parra without their origin stars
Next Cowboys thrash Storm 45-20 with their origin stars and we almost beat Raiders who had won 6 out of last 7 and without the refs howler should have . Tigers win !

Im not so sure. 66 was a once off.

We have been winning the Stats for many of our Games this year (Which is great news)

Knights
Eels
Manly
Raiders

All these games were there for the taking.

No more excuses - We need to win these Games

He can barely catch.....
Yet every second fan rates him??

He's not in the top 3 current centres or the top 4 back rowers at the club
- Why he still gets a run is beyond me?

He has his moments. He is big and fast. He also makes dumb mistakes and we saw last week how the ball can hit his chest and he still drops it.

I think he is a pretty good squad member and pretty good coverage off the bench.

Kepaoa .. is a winger/centre trapped in a backrowers body .. once he realises how big and strong he is, he could as damaging as Olakau'atu or Kolomatangi are for Manly and Souths.

Crikey i see the Bunnies are starting with Shaquai Mitchell at lock this weekend .. that's a damn big lock .. just wondering if he's got the stamina to go the distance .. they are up against the Snap Dragons and try to bash them out the game with all their big boys.

Na.... Those mentioned can catch.
Benji has been gone for years - And he was putting balls down from Benji, Still putting them down.
Moreso, He doesn't stop to recover the dropped balls.... Runs it out downfield like he's just run the hundred in the comm games.
Zero urgency, Not a lot of skill.....

Can bark at the opposition on his way off after getting sent for stupidity though - That's something I guess?

And with a good 7, we would have won those games, therein lies our problem

Or even better performances from our Centres, Back Rowers, Fullbacks and Wingers...
Which we're now getting.

Of course - You're right though,
Next time we should get a halfback that can teach blokes with an NRL Contract to catch.

Technically can’t offer until Nov but wouldn’t surprise if we aren’t aiming for 25 form some big shifts

19 of our current squad will either be gone or off contract potentially by then. Leaves alot of spots and cash to invest in.

So players signed until 2025 can sign elsewhere November this year?
