Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Frizzel isn't a small backrower like Bateman. He plays hard but that is what we need.

I'm not sold on him as mentioned above he might be past it but we need a quality edge backrower and a prop. Brooks looks to be gone. Why not try and make the deal happen ?

Potentially he would be a good acquisition, the issue I have is - Would we buy another has been?
Our acquisitions of "established players" in the last 10 years is arguably the worst in the NRL🙁

Get this done Wests Tigers.

Klem and frizell would be perfect for our young players.

@Kaito ahead of the game. He Mentioned it yesterday

Frizell and Klemmer haven’t played a full season with a club, with injuries a d rep duties. Why would that change now?

Frizell is 31 and has just taken up his option for 2023, we will see.
The mole is close to Sheens unlike rothfield read or Hooper so may be correct

IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT WHY NOT

O'Brien getting desperate for a 7 now for 2023, would they give up Best ?

 

[stevo133]

Apparently 2023 is gonna have 27 rounds and start March 2nd

Dominic Young is the star in that backline.

well maybe Young and Klemmer for Brooks in 2023

2024 Young on right wing and Ngutlik on left wing.

We need a big body up front, Klemmer fits the bill, Frizell does not ,and like the retired Fifita is on one leg in a battered body. I worry about Hastings as well, for a reletively young man ,he appears to hobble around the field ,maybe only a minor injury,but the club would know.

I think it is insane (no pun intended Ink ) you go to any game at Suncorp and we have thousands of fans ......Parra always draw big .....Saints are well supported in Brisbane .....obviously the Warriors are ....Melbourne as well because of that Qld connection ....if it was my call for Magic Round ...it would be Canberra with the bye ...even Cronulla seem to get a fair few fans at Brisbane games ...but they seem to travel

I'll be pissed if it is us

But having said that .....I think the NRL should come out and tell all clubs that the team outside of Qld who finishes last misses Magic Round the following season ...starts creating competition for clubs in the bottom couple to fight to get off the bottom

Great initiative. I’d suggest starting it in 2024 though 😜

How desperate will the knights get for Brooks in 23 🤔

they will run last with Clune or gamble I'd say as we get closer to Christmas very desperate

 

[Scare]

Hmmm, I will trade you one powerful Luke brooks for your measly little Klemmer and young

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I know we need another edge backrower but if Frizell is as busted as Johns reckon i think i'd prefer Bateman. But if we end up with Frizell on a 2yr deal i wouldnt cut my wrists either.
Looks like there could be plenty on offer if we decide to deal with Brooks this year, the rumour of the Penrith backup half doesnt fill me with excitement if that was true. Would have been much better served keeping Madden.

 

[bathursttiger1]

We will grow more desperate if Kiwis win the WC, pushing Madge into legendary status, Gildart, Garner, Tualagi and Peachey get MoM awards in their new clubs.

MoM 🤣

 

[bathursttiger1]

I'd take klemmer and frizzel in a swap for Brooks and cash no problems

I’d take Klem.

 

[batboy]

If we sign both of them there will be no room for our young players.

No room? We don't have anything but young players....

Nofoaluma is our oldest player - Until Api gets here...
Followed by Brooks.

We need a couple old heads - Frizzell played Injured all year...
Get that right, He'd be our best back rower (Outside Papalii)
If he was here last year - there would be daylight between him and everyone else.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

MoM 🤣

Settle down, he might pick up MoM for the Dolphins... In QCup.

The Knights players we shall consider are Ponga and Saifiti, and we have the bargaining power!
So instead of has beens like Klammer and Frizzel, we shall offer them a swap: Nofoaluma, Seyfarth and Brooks for Saifiti and Ponga! The offer they cannot refuse, if they realy want Brooks!

The fact you mention Ponga surely suggests you're taking the piss.
