Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He was good.

I know super coach isn't necessary a guide, but if a halfback scores 100 super coach points he has been influential.

ok..ok..I maybe sold him a little short cause Im still lamenting the fact that hes no longer with us
He has the footy smarts to influence in a positive way almost everything the Knights do..exactly what we desperately need
Shame our coaching staff couldnt see that

Austin and Sezer would be great. Really can’t believe we let Austin go. The guy is a gun. Certainly backed himself. Brooks has never looked confident ever. The guy has made a career from his school boy highlights and playing well as a junior.

Sezer and Austin have that dog in them that we crave.

Two very different players.

Sezer could be an organising half, but not the best and below Townsend.

Austin had huge impact in his day. Now? forget it. I would be Mitchell Pearce back because he knows halfback and can perform at a club level. Austin though had size and speed, he lacked defensively and that was a weakness teams exploited against us once they realised he was big but a poor defender.

Sezer would be a bottom of the Barrell scrape. Austin's days are well past him.

It’s so sad that we are in this ‘desperate’ situation 4 rounds into the season. If it was long term injuries that caused this desperation you could excuse it, but we had a WHOLE off season to sort this out! Instead we put all our eggs in one basket trying to lure (Moses) and hinged all our hopes on a decade proven average player coming good (Brooks). This is so unprofessional, it’s embarrassing!

We’ve done the same thing with goal kickers over the years also, never seem to be able to find a consistent one, despite numerous player purchases and off seasons. It has cost us so many matches, as has the spine problem. We enter every new season hampered because of the club’s seeming inability to address the bleeding obvious!

We had a halfback who could have done a job for this season and we sent him to Newcastle and they're going pretty well without their big name weapon

After watching the 1st half our number 1 focus is FB as AD clearly has no interest in putting his body on the line.
AD needs to move to centre next week.

If we cannot find FB need to put Stains there ASAP.

AD needs to be dropped, he will agitate for a release and we should grant it ASAP.
Lets at least cut one cancer out early, been stuck with the other for 10 years

If we are serious about improving.
Sign Taffe, Hawkins, Kennedy for starters. Pay overs to get them.

 

[Dennisspicer1]

Im just about done this season, dont enjoy watching my team play anymore, all I ever seem to do is complain about brooks, but tonight I have to add AD he is terrible as well.

 

[weststigerman]

Bring Matamua on. May as well see what he’s got.

Debuting a new haircut too....

Dolphins were able to go out and sign 17 players for this season.

No reason we cannot go to market and sign 4 - 6 for 2024.

Fullback, Centre's, Wing, Halves.

Released : Nofo, Brooks, Talau, Laurie - maybe AD and Staines too...

Release Talau already, likewise release Nofo if we can get at least 300k off his contract... Otherwise let him go to reserve grade. Look I see no point in paying huge freight to get him off our books but he should be dropped from First grade.

Brooks has to go. Laurie can develop, Clearly under McGuire he regressed. Staines is a temp and AD is not a fullback. We see who performs and drop the others but those players have some potential.

Brooks needs to go.

 

[weststigerman]

Forget signing any more players. Papali’i, Bateman and Koroisau haven’t improved us.

Punt Pascoe, punt Lee.

Sign a new CEO, then find a real NRL coach.

 

[Wiz]

I don’t know how we come back from this.

Forget about paying transfer fees to get blokes out of the super league. That money will be needed to pay out the current coaching staff at some stage and pay massive overs to attract a new coaching staff.

Our half decent players will leave in the interim.

I thought last year was rock bottom but we’ve gone to a completely new level.

 

[boonboon]

New fullback and halfback don't care who

Need a 6 too

Can't trust any of these guys

He should be dropped. Imagine him at centre with the lack of interest, quick sand running or putting his body on the line.

 

[wet tiger coloured bird]

bring in the flanahgans

Benji will be the first NRL coach to quit or to be sacked before he even coaches one game. Theres no way he makes it to 2025.

Brooks and Doueihi need to be dropped, it really doesn’t matter who comes in, we can’t just keep doing the same thing over and over

Watched through the neverending pain of waiting for brooks to do something, but I dont notice many offloads from our forwards if any. And Jake Simpkins does better at Half than Brooks, three times in the first half he came rushing up at the speed of light in defence only to have the players he had lined up make a slight swerve and brooks going straight past them on all 3 occasions. Cause he was going to fast to turn and tackle, he was only ever going to get them if they kept running straight at him.

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Release AD and Brooks asap. Surely we can arrange something. Would rather play Bateman and Koro in the halves.
