any suggestions for who for lock ?

No one currently available. It needs to be someone who 'falls out of the tree'. Theres always movement at the end of the year and players become available (like Terrell May last season).

Not knocking Twal but we can't afford to be going into a season again playing a guy like Twal who isn't a lock, in the lock position. Same with Seyfarth, clearly not a starting calibre backrower in the NRL so its a good thing that they've addressed that issue with the KPP signing.

Even if it's not an elite level lock, perhaps even a young guy or player whos path is blocked (eg. Tallis Duncan, Blake Steep, Max Plath, Hohepa Puru, Charlie Guymer etc.). As long as they're an actual lock and possess the skillset of a modern day lock.

pleasantly - why is KPP better than what we have

To be fair.

Bloke is an international. Although raw and young.

Physically has the attributes and skills for a genuine attacking team.

Has been used mostly as a blocker to get ponga space in the Newcastle system.

He is top 5 for Newcastle try assists as well.

Plenty of upside and optimism to get a talented player prior to their peak.

We have lost 6 games this year by 4 points or less. Taking out any controversial reffing decisions that could have contributed to the results.

We have been in the fight in the majority of games.

If Even half of those games fall our way, ours and public perspective is completely different .

These two additions, on the wing, have been enormous in making everyone’s job a little easier.

I just read in the twitterverse that Douehi has linked up with Moses the manager…from the outside looking in it’s an icky feeling.

The man gets results for his clients, even though he does use nefarious means to achieve them. Doueihi hasn't had a manager for years if I recall. Is probably off to Manly if that is the case, as Isaac Moses basically owns that club now and can get them to sign whoever he wants there.

Yeah the narrative is that Douhie wants to be a half and is worth 600k from his point of view. He’s having a crack atm but I reckon he’s got himself in the shop window.
