Got one already
Neither are getting any younger!

Haha. Wasn't thinking about us going for him. Just think he can do a Bird style job for Parra.

There already drying to get rid of Elliot who would be a great lock

We should be targeting which player the Knights want to keep by moving Elliott.

Our old mate Kenty reckons DCE has a deal with the Roorters, makes a certain amount of sense, but then you could make a reasonably logical case for 3 or 4 different clubs.

Good luck to him whatever he does and stuff Manly.

Kenty did qualify his comments saying he hasn’t heard anything … so he is relying on gut feel/ educated guessing … just like a Wests Tigers Forum member talking about Taylan May …
Poor old Kenty’s podcast might struggle if he doesn’t actuall get inside info from anyone …

Good for the client but bad for the game, they shouldn't have enough power to ruin squads which has been evident in the past, the NRL should control this by getting rid of the independents and having their own in house maybe this could work out to be fairer method.

The players association would never allow agents to be “in house” at the NRL because it would put an end to illegal payments and therefore the players would earn less.

I agree with you that something needs to be done.

The thing with Moses as noted previously is his Macca franchise system of guiding players to clubs he has leverage at thru the coach or other players. That’s the NRL’s main problem to solve as he has to much influence at certain clubs to get
‘the best’ deal for his client

Jerry Maguire would be turning in his grave with the way this guy operates

 

[pawsandclaws1]

7 potential replacements for DCE!

[tigertragic]

You would think we have at least two of three signings in the pipeline, but aside from Taylan May it’s hard to see where they would be coming from ?
There are virtually no decent back rowers currently playing NSW Cup or Qld Cup who are any chance of being released by their current club and look to have the ability to be any better than what we already have, is there anybody currently playing in the UK who might be looking for an opportunity back in the NRL ?
Would Sam Stone currently at Salford be an improvement on our edge back row depth ?

I’m pretty sure columnist Read wrote at some stage that evidence of Richo’s trip to England may not surface this year
Maybe a poor memory

On a lighter or heavier note I should say, F Pole is literally Benji if he was 100kg. 3 on the trot cmon 🐯

Think Kenty is barking up the wrong tree..upside down!
Actually.I totally agree with him

 

[Merlot]

I wonder what the Galvin clan are thinking after seeing the DCE circus play out inn the media

mo money - mo problems ,the kid would be best to see himself do an incremented $ apprenticeship at the club he loves best

a resident prophet here also suggested the same .I put it to them after it seemed like Richo's trip was a fire sale not a buyers market - time will tell

The pressure on Brown will only get worse once he arrives at Newcastle. He will be scrutinised to the nth degree.

That in turn will take a lot of pressure off Ponga

 

[Tigersmurf]

Id really like Nanai,who has definitely fallen out of favor with Todd..who himself may not see 2026
Hes got defensive issues,but easier to fix than..

There is a good chance that Todd may not see out the first two months of 2025 let alone 2026.

 

[Merlot]

pressure could be on Ponga at easts replacing teddy ,think newcastle bought Brown to replace Ponga?. It only stays weird when so many people make money from spouting opinions. . Salute, exit stage left

 

[Buttface]

Who is Todd’s manager?
I’m just trying to figure out where his destination clubs are.

 

[liltiger]

Spot on, though if Ponga does stay atm looks like he's still going to have to run the team, Brown just looks like a deer in headlights. Maybe doing his bit to get out early, at least that's what the Knights would be hoping, cause if they have paid 1.3 million and this is what he dishes up consistently, they've just buggered their salary cap till they have the club option in 32 I think it is. He can play so don't know how much his slump is based on mentally being checked out or on the fact he's a Luke Brooks type half, only injects himself when he sees something but isn't able to run a team. Whatever it is his forms fallen off a cliff.

 

[rihannafan1]

Real real inconsequential and smokey...in May's vlog, Turuva calls Fonua 'Suli', which is his brother's name and Fonua gestures for him to be quiet. Perhaps Suli Pole is making the move up from Melbourne?

 

[user118245]

Skelton and Seyf could be late outs

I think its I Moses

Richo offers Galvin best we can do deal.
Galvin knocks it back and. Says going to market .
Do we look at DCE over 2 years , he plays 7 Luai to 6 , Latu told he replaces DCE so learn all you can from him next 2 seasons
DCE $ 950 x 2 years
Galvin on open market ? $ 1 million to 1.3 million who knows , but their is also the fact Galvin may want out regardless and be coached by someone else which has been reported as also a possibility
