Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Excerpt from Danny Wielder's column today:

Knight shifts?​

Bradman Best and Daniel Saifiti are two of the Knights’ biggest names, but rival clubs have heard whispers they could be available.
The Knights are not pushing them out the door, but the feeling is if someone came knocking, they’d listen to what they had to say.

Rival teams have heard Newcastle are open for business as they need to overhaul a roster heavily influenced by the mammoth salary of superstar Kalyn Ponga. Some say he may be on more than $1.5 million next year, which would make him the highest-paid player in the game. You have to wonder if he was an option in their roster reboot.

I would take a punt on Bradman if he can stay fit...

Shaun Johnson is a great player and he would be a huge asset IF we got the best version of him. It's a huge IF because being in NZ and his family situation are big factors for him. I would question whether he'd becoming to us just to collect a pay cheque. I suspect he has a tremendous amount of respect for Benji so he wouldn't dog it, but I have my concerns about if he'd be able to keep motivated, especially if he doesn't bring his family across.

SJs last few seasons have been poor.

Does have X factor, we need to jag another out of the box recruit like Papi and Api.

He is not the long term answer.

Warriors are playing very well this year with him leading them around brilliantly

Warriors are playing well because as a club they are playing a simpler and more disciplined style.

This allows the halves to play better.

This is evidenced in our team also.

33 year old woman and 53 year old man.

he's always been a little man bully, geezus

I said this guy was ready to snap after watching that crap 360 show , he is always looking to finish on top of all others on the show and in recent times has started to be very aggressive in his speech and attitude towards other

Waste of talent Best, doesn’t look like he really wants it. Toa at half the price for me

 

[426Tlgerland]

Where should we be aiming? Who is off contract and a better option?

Contracts mean nothing Ben Hunt with Brooks would be very good

 

[tigerballs]

Very good young player who still looks like he has it despite a couple of ACL’s.
Potentially one of the best centres in the game, but I think he’s a rare Roosters local junior, you wouldn’t think they would let him go.

Was being shopped around at the start of the season but that situation may have changed with Sualii leaving.

 

[boonboon]

If the club is smart, they would INSIST SJ brings his family over and they would set them up with housing etc...

It was covid that separated them previously. Don't think their is any doubt they would come over if he came this time

 

[Harvey]

How good is he ? What style does he play ?

Rated almost as highly as Luke Brooks was as an 18yo

So the next Arthur Summons?
😜

Yes, but the coach has injected new life into the whole team.

I think he has to take a fair amount of credit for the team's improvement.

He went alright when he was here as well as a lower grade coach and assistant NRL coach. Players seemed to respond very well to him.

Not wrong 426. Always wants the last word
& hates his authority being challenged. It's
seldom the quite ones that snap. Even when buzz is talking he smirks at his co-hosts and
is noticeably demeaning. Won't miss the little
fake tough guy one bit. Bloke made a career
out exposing and exploiting others & now he's
being protected by his fox/newscorp racket.
Couldn't a shit about him. Up 2 the courts mate

I think Brooks will become the next Andrew Johns over the next couple of years.

..u mean retired with a white powder problem...?
Hes barely a 1st grader as a player..like the forwards this year,we need a totally fresh start in the halves

You used to be a very good poster... Interesting and level headed... Now you're a troll?
What's happened

I'm not a troll. I just got sick of hearing the morons blame Brooks for every loss that we have. That to me is trolling and we needed some balance.

Once Bula gets a bit more experience I'd like to see him at 6. The next Nicho. See how Brooksy goes with Jahream outisde him.

What party like no tomorrow and check into rehab

That's not as crazy as some will think. Bula's passing ability both sides is phenomenal. Personally I'd be very reluctant to move him from fullback the way he is defending, but I have no doubt he could make it as a 6 too.

Calling him Andrew Johns is pure trolling
