Daily Tele says we’re linked with Schiller

@Vicious will be happy

James Schiller could be on the move before next season despite having 12 months left on his contract at the Knights.

The Tigers are one club who have been linked with the 25-year-old who is free to leave Newcastle immediately if he secures a deal elsewhere.

Schiller arrived at Newcastle last season from Canberra and played 17 top grade games. But managed just one first grade game this year as he fell down the pecking order in a Newcastle side who marched towards the grand final.

Schiller impressed in NSW Cup, scoring 16 tries from 13 games for the Knights. The Tigers could be having a bit of a Knights reunion with Jayden Brailey and Kurt Mann already signed and Tyson Frizell expected to join the club.

Would’ve kept Skelton instead of signing Schiller but he just had a baby to a misso in Brisbane may of wanted to head home

Absolutely not, but I also don't think it's smart to build a team around families. Diversity is essential.

I made a post mid-year that I thought there would be an exodus of players at the end of the year.

It's starting to happen.

There's a saying - When you put all your eggs in one basket, you risk breaking them all.

If by "exodus" you mean just the usual turn over of players at the end of each year, then yes.

We don't get Taylan without Terrell. The Fainus have been class on and off the field since arriving. We also have 25 players in our top 30 who arent related. Struggling to see what the issue is and what your solution to it would be

What? The point is winning. That is why we play the game.

I don't understand why so many supporters give our team a 'get out of jail' card after getting flogged every season.

We haven't made the top eight since 2011. We have the longest finals drought of any NRL club.

The thing is though, do you think clubs who chase Sam will be prepared to bend over? Do you think the Roosters or the Storm would say “Sure, we’ll sign your thug brother who has never admitted his guilt, if that’s what it takes to get you.” No goddamn way. Sam and Latu presenting themselves as a package deal is one thing as they are genuine first graders. Having to include their interloper brother, who has not only not played for 6 or 7 years, but been in jail is something only the most desperate club would even consider.

To play Ron Massey Cup? You're over reacting. We're basically saying, Yep he can go play park footy with our affiliate and maybe a bit of nsw cup if he somehow performs well

When you don’t stand for something , you stand for nothing ! Diversifying is confusing . Making choices , for good or bad , and backing them is right play .
Everyone knows the choice . They either get on board or don’t . But the choice is clear . For too long , diversification and as such no future has been the highest issue both in the football department but basically every single level of the club . I’m glad they’ve made a choice . Now stick to it .

Ryde TAFE has a nice Village Green in the Horticulture Section, which we used to set up for various sporting events like running, drinking, and barbecuing. It could easily be set up for a Footy Field and the Apprentices could learn valuable skills by marking the lines and mowing the lawn. Seating would be the bales of Hay. Perfect day out.

Rex Bassingthwaite will be their future 1

Maybe . But he’s no Tedesco . He’s a definite step down . I can’t see him
Ring anything other than a good first grade player . He will be replaced when they can sink their teeth into the best fullback they find / determine fits the “roosters way” . Like Teddy , and mini before.

Not sure about Ryde oval, they tend to play more AFL to develop their juniors in the area.

Our family go and watch the Woodies play at TG. If you live in the inner west, outer west or north west, it's a quick drive across Sydney to Marsfield and it's a great day out.
