Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking too. His numbers are good with subpar halves next to him. I look forward to what he does with quality feeding him.

Latu will be putting him in the holes - right hand side

KPP has been impressive tonight. Moses got upset with him because two times he shut him down. He tackles, he is mobile, he has a great offload and is quick for a big man.

I don't get it. He's Newcastle's version of Seyfarth.

Thats Jack Hethrington

KPP sin binned? He's definitely a Tiger 👌🏻

For giving it to Moses!!! I’m in love already.

Broncos... 1. Get high and go for a drive and crash into a young family -> gets punished but still remains at the club getting paid to not play.
2. Player criticises old coach on radio saying he can't coach -> Keeps playing.
3. Likes an instagram post saying the coach is over the top with his training -> Looking at an instant dismissal and most likely to lose money with loss of his contract.
All about priorities for the club 🤦‍♂️

It’s the same with every club.
The higher you are ranked, the more forgive able you become.
Alternatively, if they want you out, any issue can be twisted to suit.

It’s the rugby league way 🤣

Watching him closely tonight. Not much involvement so far.

I never really see him do much. It’s unlikely he is any better than what we already have.
I’d certainly want more than just him to let Galvin go early.

 

[Tito Santana]

My opinion on KPP is he has all the skills and a much better player skillwise than Seyfarth, but the effort and heart Seyfarth displays on a weekly basis is ten times more than KPP

Agreed.

Richo said in the Graham podcast that the only people who know who we are going after are him and Benji and the board will be the first to know after. So maybe the signings will be announced after the meeting on Monday.

I just checked out J-Hunt

Vaguely remember him at the Dragons but my bronco mates don't rate him...

He's almost 27 and played only 24 NRL games.

To be fair- the Broncos are flush with star forwards, so for their fans to feel Hunt isn't great isn't that surprising..

I like that he is versatile, works hard & from what I've seen this season, is happy running fearlessly onto the ball.

He's not the most talented, and I don't think we necessarily need guys that start (particularly if we pick up KPP), but if this is the quality we bring in to the 17 when Pole gets hurt- we are infinitely better off than we are now.

I'd say he's kind of Sione Fainu level of 1st grade ready. Can he be replaced? Yes. Can he do a job? Yes. Will he sink our salary cap? No.

Plus- there's an Easts Leagues link to Richo.

I don’t where this crap about KPP lacking effort comes from. The guy is averaging around 40 tackles, 100mtrs+ and at least a tackle break a game.

Seyfarth 35 tackles & 70mtrs a game…

Because it’s a bullshit excuse from the Seyfarth cult on here to try to justify his continued selection in the team. Just like with Brooks, they’ll try to shit on any competition.

KPP tonight put up:
151m on 14 runs
73 post contact metres
39 tackles (1 missed)

It’s a no brainer. KPP in and Seyfarth to reserve grade where he belongs.

 

[jrtiger]

Pearce-Paul’s playing too heavy up in Newcastle. compare his frame to how he was in England and it looks as if he’s carrying about 5-7kg too much.

I think he’s going to benefit from a change.

Great stats, i think we will use him better as well

 

[diedpretty]

Cause the Knights don’t use him right and haven’t his whole time in the newy

Yep - he is a big body with good pace and O,Brian continually has him running as a decoy with Ponga out the back. Totally dumb. Every defence knows that Ponga is always getting the ball.

We will benefit from having him at WTs. Wests, Balmain and WTs have always had good UK forwards so it will be great to have another.

apparently Jacob saifiti suffered a calf injured during game today, TMay could still be a chance for origin

Same as Hopgood.

Playing way too heavy.

You're telling me Richo said there's announcements coming, publicly, before speaking to the board AND that he hasn't spoken to the board for a couple of weeks?

I’m just saying they may have been waiting for this board meeting to tell the group their plans before announcing since it was coming anyway. Could explain the delay.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

I'm not arguing here, but how do you quantify that?

He is their perennial decoy. "Give Ponga the ball"---------------that's what the coach has told them. IMO.
