Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[SeanT]

Connor Watson out for the season, rorters sign Moses as his replacement on the same “money”….. because he will take less to play in a premier team…

The Roosters injuries in the last few years have been crazy. I reckon their preseason is rough as. Go hard for every session

 

[tony soprano]

He tried hard in every game but was never going to be a decent half,unfortunately it never stopped Sheens from trying to make him one.It was a terrible waste of of a footballer and at least when he went to the tiger sharks he was allowed to show his abilities in the right position as a hooker

There were some good ones tho will never forget Prince and Robert lui.

Cooper Cronk Started as a hooker then went to Melbourne played off the bench for the first two seasons playing some hooker also finished a few games on the wing in 2005 he played 5/8 then in 2006 he was manufactured into a halfback under the tutelage of Matthew John's

John Morris started at Newcastle on the wing went to Parramatta played some wing hooker and bench before setting in at 5/8 then in 2006 before Cooper Cronk was a Super Star and before he became one of the best half backs of the last 30 years John Morris was signed by the West Tigers

Tim Sheen's came out and said he will be our Cooper Cronk both played wing both played off the bench for some time over a season both played 5/8 for over a season in 2006 Cooper Cronk was turned into a half back when Sheen's made the comment in 2006 Sheen's did what he said and turned John Morris into a half back



You have been Enlightened

Problem was, Sheens’s attempt at copying the Cronk model that Melbourne succeeded with, did not work and set us back for years.

I wish Sheen's could have gotten more out of John Morris maybe he should have asked Matthew John's for help again like he did in 2005

Johhny Cronk was a decent player, a thorough professional, he just wasn't a half, he never missed a game with us, just another player Sheens misused, he could have done a real good job for us if used correctly

Both where halves to start of with Morris wasn't

Nothing may come of this, the source is new. 😁

The dartboard.😂

The interesting thing is Parra doesn’t have a photograph of Moses on their Instagram for months.

How could a contract take this long either way?

I was thinking that a tim sheens typical half like Scott Prince, Robert lui very different attacking halves to cronk, Cleary. Scott and Robert were superior in attack but cronk and Nathan had the game plan skills.

 

[Wests🐅]

Parra’s Instagram doesn’t have a single shot of him for months. That’s weird seeing as he is their best player.

Things are looking good.

I think the writing is on the wall, no contract to remain with your club takes this long. Either way he is leaving parra. Have heard through the vine… people very close to him say that he isn’t staying.

Decisions will be made soon.

Everyone seems to be bagging and saying that the Knights will finish behind us this year?
Just looking at their back 5, they look a lot better than our back 5…….thoughts?

1. Kalyn Ponga
2. Dom Young
3. Dane Gagai
4. Bradman Best
5. Greg Marzhew

Ponga and parent, are a problem, Hastings with a strong personality and Ponga will cause many problems i imagine. Something pongs in Newcastle, they have underperformed in relation to their roster.

All i hear is faults in Sheens coaching over 15 yrs ago, are you guys serious ? Lighten up.

 

[Odessa]

You know his dad was a used car salesman and I have heard stories about him getting younger players contacts a boys club or Ponga would not commit to the Knights alot of favourites up in Newcastle and his dad did the dirty on the Cowboys with Pongas original contract

 

[tigermate]

Quite possibly. But as far as if the decision was a success or not, the proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is our performance, not the knights.

Guaranteed all next year people will be comparing Brooks vs Hastings. It’s gonna happen and I think it’s a fair assessment of whether our mgmt got it right or not.

 

[JRDee]

One thing notable is Nofa being
left out of all promo clips & pics,
couldn't make Samoa might not
make WT starting 13, who knows
Irregardless, we have everything
it takes and no injuries going into
the new season. Love the direction

But could make the Storm side last year

Sometimes you work with your squad and salary cap you have right.

But could make the Storm side last year

Few injuries tho.

Ricky Stuart and also Greg Alexander were a couple more of his halves. Both excellent players - Stuart a schemer while Alexander had that great attacking game.

Check the tape. Olam covered his
ass in D during those few weeks ...
