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.

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?

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.

Gotta be AD.Only one that goes close to fitting the description...and they need halves
Either Knights or AD wld be pretty stoopid signing for 4 seasons at this point of time...hes done nothing for years due to chronic injury,other than demonstrate an unwillingness to defend
So 4 year contract... hes either selling himself short as insurance against yet another injury...or Knights are simply hoping for the best,and that the worst is behind him .Like Blore.But AD is a lot older...less likely
... risk aint worth the reward IMO
Im ecstatic its not WTs taking that risk.
Hes one season at a time atm
