just stumbled on the LOUNGE,really,never scrolled there b4,almost squealled,any1 from GreenLand awake,i pack 4the late turnips,up lol

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..

Is there a geo translate mode for the forum?
Don't know how you did that haha

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

Does anyone rate Watson?

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.

Agree. Same as Mbye with added Ritalin

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

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

Pascoe confirmed that Brooksey ain't going anywhere ?

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


Plus MCK 1 yr extension

I hope not

Nooooooooooooooooooooo


Just clean out all the dead wood. Idc if it’s cheap or not we need a full clean out. ???

But Chee Kam is our only specialist 18.?

 

[isaaktigers]

Tell me.

Why would Conor Watson leave the Knights when he has a position in the squad.

His friends all live there and I’m more then sure Ponga and him would be talking about bringing the trophy home to newy more then one occasion when they live together.

Cmon people.. think!

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...

We have virually no leaders at the present time or years for that matter.

You don't think money and a likely permanent 1st grade position comes into icomes into it?

Just read that the Storm have offered a "MONSTER" deal to Brandon Smith in an attempt to keep him and ward off many suitors - the deal was $600K per season, didn't say how many years. In my view that is hardly a monster deal for him - I reckon he is worth $750K a season for 4 seasons at least, especially considering the value you get from him compared to the guys we've paid more for. He is one player I'd throw the cheque book at.

I think we need to go with a deal that the cheese can't refuse.
I do still think offer him $1m for 4 years.

If we are posting only 150 above Storm, I'm not sure if that would lure him away

I'd go 900k for 4yrs +
Free massage from @hobbo1 at home games +
Dinner at @happy_tiger restaurant when in qld
+
Brunch with @Geo and Brooks or @Russell and Lids twice a week.

Sold

Drinks and therapy with @Merlot.

That's why I'd also be going for Peachey.

merlot is actually Geo's subaccount, for when he's on the juice and doesn't want to impact his core account's reputation.

Eventually he'll do an alien and post sensible stuff from his merlot account, then the ruse will be over.

He’s a professional footy player, he’ll go where he is signed?
