This is the full article:

"The Newcastle Knights have secured a significant coup by locking in one of the West Tigers’ top stars on a four-year contract, adding a crucial piece to their squad for the coming seasons. This long-term signing has created a buzz within the NRL community, as the Knights aim to build a team that can consistently challenge for titles in the future.

The player in question, whose identity has been revealed in various reports, is a highly-rated talent with exceptional skills and a proven track record in the NRL. Known for his ability to change the course of a game with his speed, vision, and strength, he brings a wealth of experience to the Newcastle squad. His decision to leave the West Tigers and join the Knights marks a pivotal moment in his career and could help elevate the Knights’ performance across the board.

The move is particularly important for Newcastle, who have been making a concerted effort to build a strong, competitive team after a few years of inconsistent performances. The club’s leadership, including head coach, has been vocal about their desire to strengthen key positions, and this new acquisition is seen as an important step in that direction. His arrival is expected to bolster the Knights’ attacking options and provide valuable experience to a relatively young squad.

For the West Tigers, losing one of their top stars is a significant blow, as the player has been one of the standout performers in recent seasons. However, the Tigers are reportedly focusing on reshaping their roster and bringing in fresh talent. While this particular loss stings, the West Tigers’ coaching staff and management are hopeful that the changes they are making will set the foundation for future success.

The four-year contract demonstrates Newcastle’s commitment to building a team for the long haul, as they look to compete at the top level in the NRL. The player’s commitment to the club for an extended period is a clear indication of his belief in the Knights’ potential and the direction they are heading. Both the club and its fans will be hopeful that this signing will contribute to a new era of success for Newcastle, with the player expected to play a key role in helping them return to the NRL’s elite ranks.

In the coming seasons, all eyes will be on the Knights as they integrate this new talent into their system, and the added firepower from this signing could prove pivotal in their quest for a premiership."

I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that this is written by AI so take it with a grain of salt.

It was posted by a Broncos fan but I'd say it's been made by some unemployed 40yo gamer still living with his parents because he's got nothing better to do.
 
That’s AD for sure… no loss whatsoever
He ain't a halfback like they claim this "mystery player" supposedly is.

I actually think it's a load of BS clickbait, there's no one that fits that description and the only one that can is locked in for now and can't negotiate with other clubs.

I'd be more than happy for the Knights to take Douehi off our hands BUT we better have a few players practicing goal kicking with Brett Hodgson for when Api gets sin binned 😂🤣.
 
No one is giving AD a 4 year contract. Come on now. I’d say this is very likely his last year here. It’s a shame how his time here has worked out. I genuinely believed he was captain material when he first signed, but injuries have ravaged him, which unfortunately it does to some players. Could have easily played 200 games for us if his body had held up.
 
Galvin lives at home with family and often talks about how he spends his spare time at home with his family. I’m definitely speaking as an emotionally invested fan but we have richo at the joint it fills me with huge amounts of confidences the bloke has not failed at any club he has been at.
If you want to have blind faith, that’s your prerogative. I just think it’s glaring if he’s choosing not to take an upgrade this year and next. His intentions seem clear, And in the unlikely event that he hasn’t been offered an upgrade like someone suggested yesterday, then the spotlight shifts back to Richo and why he hasn’t made the most no brainer move he could make as a CEO, moving to secure our best junior long term. If Richo is still sitting on his hands, then I think the amount of faith people put in him is misplaced. Either way, it’s not a good sign.

100% mate this year and next I would think the upgrade would be $ 250 k per season then the new deal on top , big coin most likely 800 k for 3 more , not taking the cash now would be a direct show of im outa hear

He is his own manager these days, he might drive a hard bargain?

Anybody know who they might be talking about ??

Starford Toa!!
Please.
 
Wasn’t really doing it at the knights with a couple recent origin props along with the likes of frizzel and Barnett either, that’s why they paid him to play for us.
If anyone is honest - Klemmer hasn’t been the Klemmer he was for quite a while (before he got to knights even)

Very little chance of him returning to it now… no matter who he’s paired with.
Hope that's not the case bat if he doesn't lift forward pack still looks a little weak said before probably needed one more big forward to be happy.
