Simple .. @Merlot stumbled on the Lounge sub forum which he hasn't visited before then realised after scrolling no one does..then given the hour wondered whether anyone in Greenland was awake I then believe turnips is code for bongs..

Does seem abit odd considering we only have 6 spots in our top 30 left and Mikaele/Seyfarth are still off contract.

If we keep all 3 then there’s only 3 spots available for new recruits.

We need far more then that.

Isn't Madden's contract done this year as well, presumably he will take a spot as well

Madden is contracted for next year.

I can't imagine there being any truth to the Watson rumour. Too similar to Jackson Hastings.

Does anyone rate Watson?

I'd still have a go for him, especially if the squad is going to be rejigged with some extra players tapped on shoulder. I believe Brooks and Tamou are in their sights with Mbye also gone. Hastings for Brooks and Woods for Tamou, leaving a good all rounder needed for utility. I'd go for either Watson or Peachey. Can't see MCK being offered new contract but I sure miss Elijah Taylor.

Just above plodder status for me. Runs around alot, looks like he is doing heaps but really doing very little.
Like Mbye, can play a number of positions but none well.
Also I've noted, he is a big "one out" player, doesn't pass the ball too often, but have learnt from Mann.
I wouldn't give him a second look. The best thing for us about him is that the Knights have him Demps.

He is more of the same imo,so not really what we need

We have 6 spots left for 2022 in a squad that’s going to come bottom 4 with not a single proven first grader coming in. Giving one of those 6 spots to MCK is complete Lunacy

I see what you're saying, two sides to the coin though.

We're not breaking the bank for him and he is a good squad/depth player.

We missed out on Atoni who wouldve been an upgrade, but we're not relying on MCK to win us a comp.....

There's a bigger picture plan here and it's not to win the comp now or next year but put us in a place where we are successful long term. Dark days ahead though but is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Fingers crossed the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train hurtling towards us at full speed.
 
Don't worry about positions or players being like other players, just sign guys with mentality. Winners.

We should definitely be going for Watson. Even Peachey.

Was totally against it when mentioned last time he was contracted by the Knights although I think he has improved since then by adding some bulk. Just not sure how he would fit in... although he does have footy nous which should be a caveat on any signing we make for a while so we can improve our footy IQ across the field.
So I guess that's a maybe yes, from me but not as a saviour just as a worthy #14 if Hastings is not pencilled in for that role...

I'm totally on board with signing the right mentality/footy IQ when we make contract offers. It's really important for us to progress, at this point in time.
 
Talk of Brooks being off loaded have come up again I can not see WT'S doing this particularly lnow with Mbye being let go a year early his contract is around $900k and we are expected to contribute to his last year.
Brooks is off contract 2023 and his contract is around $850k
If the BS is true for 2022 we would be paying what is basically a marquee player contract price for two players to play for someone else.
The WTS players off contract 2023 are listed below from Zero Tackle something I picked up today if you highlight the players name it will bring up details of their contract price break up

My negotiations with Woods would be stringent on the fact that we can release Tamou to the Knights and get Klemmer…

Like it

Got to cut your losses mate. He hasn’t lived up to the hype abs needs play somewhere else.

Hastings will bring the arrogance and confidence we need in our halves.

I like that
