How are all of our contract negotiations all of a sudden front and centre of the media....
The last 2 blokes we signed, Not a whisper - now we're signing numpties from the paper again?

Did someone say there's been a change at the board again?

Trouble is lots here are easily fooled by what telegraph has to say even though they know they talk crap 😂

The biggest thing I got out of Richo today was we offload a few more players & sign 2-3 players...

We don't have 3 spots currently...

I am interested in Bird in how that changes the look of the back line.

Is Bird the utility we want? Or an outside back. What's the mean for Douiehi?

We're the same vintage I reckon.

Most footy players have talent of physical attributes to make them competitors.

Why do some players go from certain clubs to storm for example and become significantly better.

Culture... higher standards, attitudes to what is required to be part of the organisation.

No it’s just winning , when u got much better players at certain clubs that’s the difference.
For example, soccer players join clubs like Chelsea , Manchester city , arsenal, knowing full well that they may not get much game time , but they get big wages and win trophies 🏆, there’s no culture there , it’s all money driven

Cross Jack Herherington off the hit list. Resigning with the Knights for 2 years.

Wonder where Kyle Feldt is going. Would much rather him as a backup than Staines

Hopefully he is going to ESL as i could never support him playing for us

18yo hollding the club to ransom..haha.....if he doesn't want to be the face of WT rebuild,p**s off

The last guy that stuck around for a rebuild never got the team to help him get there - and was made a scapegoat.

😇

TBF though - I see a lot more hope in our squad in the next 2 or so years, hopefully Galvin sees that too.

I think this guy is either his manager, a family member or is getting paid to get his name out there because all he seems to talk about is Mikey Nassar.

Not jumping on you mate, but, to be fair, he's been upfront about the connection, Wests. I think his son is friends with Mikey or family friends. Something like that.

 

[stephen]

Probably just his manager (Mario Tartak) playing poker with us knowing he has a very strong hand with players at our club. And the ability to help us move on Bud who is in his stable too. I'm just speculating here btw.

Sullivan back to Saints maybe??

 

[Milky]

Omg why?? too much and too long.

Honestly.

Second row maybe?

11. Fainu
12. Bird

Both play 80 minutes, could be okay but if L. Fainu is going to play lock, forwards size might be a problem

PS not saying im a fan of this

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Sullivan back to Saints maybe??

Hmmmm they do need halves depth

 

[TSP]

Just with Bird, I think it’s a pretty good sign for us that players or managers are at least picking up the phone to make enquiries.

I’d be at least interested in dragging negotiations out with him at this point. See what else we can get.

He’s probably got more cons than pros but better than a finger in the eye.

Bateman won’t be coming back, best to get any separation anxiety over and done with now.

 

[Needaname]

Take out the key words. The deal has stalled, yet to accept ... hint hint Bird is not interested.

Either that or Dragons aren’t kicking in any.
Anyone know his option with the dragons was valued at. I reckon 500-550.

 

[Needaname]

Using the Tigers as a Floatie to inflate his price....

Didn't the Knights just get his brother over from NZ Union, Leo is the one they wanna keep - They want the Saifitis gone.... Inflated contracts not much output...

Yes. It’s just likely that he doesn’t want to go into the 25 season on 175k given he is now a NZ international and the Knights are moving on Safiti.
They are pushing them for an upgrade if they are keen on extending him.
