Brent Kite possibly leaving Manly

[851]

I'd take George Rose if he lost 10kgs. He's light on his feet for a husky fellow.

More like 25 kg he has really bulked up. Maybe all the KFC commercials in the cricket season!!! :roll

I thought he looked ok in the all stars game,he said he is his lightest in years,he has seen a dietician and he is way fitter than ever before,he would be a cheaper option than Kite.

Kite is the best prop on the open market , any club wanting him will have to be prepared to pay reasonable money for him

He won't come cheap , its all about supply and demand

All depends on who actually needs another prop, who has cap space, how much will Manly kick in and is Kite willing to make a move out of Sydney if required.

He won't be going anywhere in 2013 imo

Clubs will be chasing him for 2014

Well Manly haven't had any luck registering Brett Stewart yet, so something will give. Kite would definitely be front runner to be punted I reckon.

Well that was wrong.

Brett Stewarts contract was registered today and Manly have confirmed they will not be letting any players go for 2013.

Kite had a blinder tonight. He would've made a nice addition to our team - oh well :frowning:

 

[tig_prmz]

[innsaneink]

They have a great attitude in defense, rusty early but it clicked pretty quick

Agree Ink ,Manly hunted as a pack tonight despite missing a few of their big names in the forwards

Maybe the Tigers could take a lot from that performance

 

[tigerbenji]

Kite wouldnt come cheap, & apparently there are a few clubs chasing Rose so i dare say that will push up his asking price. We will probably sign some unknown from Hicksville or some where.

 

[Tigrr]

I think George Rose is just what the Tigers need at present,

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

if Kite came it would of meant Sheens staying.

Everyone moans that our forward pack are a little light, yet fantasized about Kite coming… go figure.

Are you inferring that Kite is a lightweight at 193cm and 111kg?

Maybe Chris Hicks ?? :laughing:

Possibly 'the pale whale' Merv Hicks could make a return?

I apologise it comes across that way… More so that he isnt a real line bending forward, but more a workhorse. I dont deny he is good, but most of the forum is bleating for more punch.

 

[palms]

No dramas mate was just clarifying because he definitely has some size. Unfortunately he won't be coming over because he has a great work rate, is experienced and professional. This is a hyperthetical question but if he did come over who would you drop to the bench? Galloway and Woods are both starting props so it would be an interesting scenario if we were to get another top fledged prop…

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Galloway is good coming off the bench I reckon. Once Buchanan gets a bit more experience I would be using Keith off the bench for impact.
