Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Signing Frizell will be as successful as the signing of his former fellow Knight prop, Klemmer.

There's got to be a young prop somewhere ready to fully embrace a solid 40-60min in a NRL. The Roosters seem.to pull one out of their arse every second season.

Even at his peak Klemmer was an ordinary overrated front rower. He had no physical presence whatsoever. He developed a reputation for being an enforcer through shaving his head a screaming like a tough guy. He was an absolute pillow, and that was even when he played for Australia. He was just like Jason Ryles, a complete waste of size and talent with zero toughness as an NRL frontrunner. He and Frizelll are both completely different in style and ability, but also different in significant price tag.

Different to Klemmer on a few counts. Klemmer was brought in as a big name prop on big name prop money. He was ok for us but his output wasnt what we paid for. Frizell would be on a middle range salary and can play multiple positions in the forward pack.

Frizell on 1-2 years is pretty good business in addressing the depth and experience problems.

Frizell is a pro , he plays to win , would be a solid buy for 1-2 years

Considering you can’t even read basic dates or sentences, it’d be nothing short of a miracle if you could make it through the first page of a Harry Potter book.

Maybe just stick to picture books, they seem to be more your speed.

We know who.

I'm super suspect about injuries for Cody Walker. He'll be 37 start of next year and had an ordinary run of leg injuries 2026, including that last calf injury going down untouched, prior to that hamstrings.

There's a fair few older guys going around but once they start doing leg injuries at that age, I get suspect.

Not to mention his head and/or heart would never be in it. He doesn’t wanna leave souffs but bcoz he was a late bloomer he’s trying to squeeze as much out as he can. He’ll be a poor signing for any team. He should take what Rusty is offering and have a retirement year and then into is coaching job with the bunnies.

Agree with both points, Friz would be valuable to us, and we also need good young props. We seem not to have identified any young props since Utoikamanu.
 
If we sign Frizell, the worst thing that could happen is for the Knights to win tomorrow night. How would you still have the hunger at his age after winning a premiership the way they would have? There won’t have been a premiership winner like them since us.

You must be thinking of Twal from 5 years ago. If twal was fit, there was a good chance he would have made the blues squad. He was in great form this year and every club would have him if they could

No I don’t believe he is, he’s watching the same Giant Sloth as me.
Love Twal, but if he’s our best we have issues, and as I keep saying we need a NRL run on prop and a lock asap so players like the Giant Sloth, Baby Giraffe, and Bollard can take their rightful place in the NRL team; the bench.
And while we’re at it an actual 7 would be nice.

Can you give me examples of 3 locks or props youd replace him with based on the perfromance you are looking for? Not unrealistic players e.g. haas. Just trying to understand who exactly you are comparing him to

The fact twal was deemed our best player is an embarrassment and an indictment on the appalling state of our roster

For me, the only embarrassing part would be that he achieved that while playing only 16 games.

In the games he did play this season, I thought he played very well at at a level where he would have been one of the better middle forwards on most teams

I think him and benji have a good relationship, if he does except our offer , he comes across as a bloke who wouldn’t come unless he could give 100%

Same if they loose , seen his interview while back and said they have put 110% in busted it all year , big high now , loose massive low and agin at his age could be a massive struggle if we start poor , he won’t get up for it I feel
 
Friz and Jake A will certainly make us a better side in 2027 and I guess Brailey and Mann are better than most players we have now. I still think we will be closer to the bottom than the eight but you can only sign players who are available and want to join the club and that’s a very small pool of players.

We badly need a game breaker but I think we will have to find one from within and develop him and that’s will not happen over night
