Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not sure I agree with that mate.

2 to 3 top hookers at every good club is a stretch.

Roosters: Verrills 1, Watson 2 and Keirghan 3. That's ordinary

Parra: Mahoney 1, Stone 2, 3?

Cowboys: Robson 1, Granville 2, 3? Granville is terrible

Sharks: Brayley 1, Mcinnes 2, 3? Two very good ones here.

I think we shape up very good with Api, Brown, Rua and Simpkin. We don't need anymore. It's also a good luxury that Brown and Rua can play other positions

Yeh your spot on mate....I think I was feeling the effects of painkillers 😹
 
There’s still a slight bit of hope…

KNIGHTS HALVES ON THE OUTER​

Something is going on at Newcastle regarding their halves.

Still looking for a replacement for Mitchell Pearce, whose move to France this year left a gaping hole in their playmaking, the club has offered both their current halves, Jake Clifford and Adam Clune, to English clubs.

It can mean only one thing - they have a halfback either signed or in mind for 2023.

Could it be a last desperate play to snare Luke Brooks from the Tigers?

The Tigers aren't budging on Brooks at the moment, but if the Knights throw in some cash to sweeten the deal, that may change.

The Knights have signed Tyson Gamble from Brisbane, but he is not a realistic 26-game-a-season NRL playmaker… more of a handy back-up.

A lot of people on the forum say they are happy with JH playing at lock. If he stays at lock and Brooks goes who plays ½.
IMO Jacko and AD are too slow for halves and contrary to opinions of Brooks..he is a reasonable defender.
What are the solutions.
(Madden is off too)

No way you could play Hastings 7 and AD six under the current rules. You need at least one quick half to take advantage of all the six agains and extra set plays from the scrum. Personally I would opt for Hastings at 7 and Brooks at 6. Ad can play centre or move on. Okay Brooks might not be the best,but he is the best choice we have at present. That would all change if we actually signed a player like Dylan Brown

Now Madden's gone (a good decision imo), I would agree.Not sure if the young gun (Tannous???) is ready yet, especially if we don't have the pigs required.

Tannous is a hooker now.
@KingRobbie told us a while back and since returning from injury he's exclusively played hooker, either starting or from the bench.

I am on board with the whole Sheen / Benji / Robbie coaching idea and hope it all works out.

But am I correct in saying the ONLY signing Sheen's has made is Naden ?? Papa and Api were done prior I believe.

With all this excitement around Sheen's / Benji and we are yet to sign a player and IMO is a massive concern.. I will sit back and trust the process but generally when a new coach is announced etc.. they makes signings pretty quickly as players want to be apart of the change. I thought Benji had some pull according to other players / commentators in the game.
So either they have a few lined up but are keeping it rather quite or we are praying we get lucky..

And re signed Offa. I would think he would want to get done prior to Nov 1 the contracts of players he wants to keep. That way he goes to Nov 1 with a clear idea of what positions he needs and how much money he has.
