IMO he would be a good signing while we ease the talent we have in the 20's into FG over the next 18 months.

Wasn't there another prop from NYC that everyone thought would get a run in NRL this year but had a shoulder problem?

Maybe Andrew Vela? not sure if he was ready this year but he does have potential. The stand out prop this year has been Mosese Fotuaika.

Agree with this. The young guns need time when coming through (Woods has been an exception) to consistently compete at the higher level and get over any set-backs (such as Groat has experienced).
While Kite is not as young and damaging as he once was, I do believe he is a smart prop (Woods alone would benefit from this). Plus, Kite still likes to charge into the defence, which we miss. It could be very good inspiration for other WT forwards.
I think Kite has made it clear that if Parish is coach then he may not join us, not a great endorsement for our potential new coach. I wonder what the other signings think too and also potential signings i.e Jennings - but he seems like a mercenary anyway so may not make much of a difference to him.
Not a kite fan at all.
I dont want him here.

Shocking News: NSW police have today contacted Manly officials over the discovery of a male body, Sea Eagles officials have declined to make any comment. However, it's understood the inquiries relate to a member of this year's NSW Cup squad. #Daily Telegraph.

SMH now says unlikely to happen:
http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/career-change-voss-considers-trading-commentating-for-eels-gig-20121017-27rjm.html
Last year's premiers are under salary cap pressure and will need to offload at least one player. There has been widespread speculation that Brent Kite could move on, particularly after Wests Tigers expressed interest. However, the former NSW and Australian prop is now likely to stay put. ''There's a 99.9 per cent chance he will stay,'' said Kite's manager Daryl Mather.

thats a bummer. Potter needs all the troops he can get. Kite to play semi final football again in 2013 with Manly. To think that we nearly snagged him. No choice. Galloway.

He was awarded a two year contract extension with the Knights. Why would he come back to us anyway? Our board spat in his face and put Cashmere in front of him.
That decision still makes me chuckle.

A lot of people were divided on signing Big Willie, but IMO Humpty or the board got that call wrong. Sheens & the players wanted him but it was management's call not to sign him . Cashy gave his all, but the form Mason showed for the Knights proved to me beyond a reasonably doubt we got that call wrong.
