Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Which means we should hunt someone else from there.

The Broncos have been totally stupid with their signings. They have paid overs for Hunt and resigning Hetherington like they did should mean others are available.

I wonder if Staggs could be lured here? Would be a really nice Galvin replacement and IMHO someone I would rather at lock then Galvin. Ofcourse I would pay any money to get Payne Haas, but it won't happen. Paix, Wililson, Paikura would all be welcome here.

Outside idea if TDS leaves is to get Billy Walters at replacement 9. I would want TDS to stay, but getting Walters back at the club gives us a little flexibility... + Kevin could be a good backup coach if needed.

I am pretty sure Hetherington hasn't been extended; just wasn't released to the tigers in pre-season when Madge came on board.

What's going on V you were all for him 2 weeks ago, to me at the moment he is playing like someone who knows he's off to another club or the negotiations are messing with his head that could be why his manager made his presence in the media lately, he was playing better games earlier

The Knights are in a hole at the moment a lot of their talent are playing ordinary.

We need someone with his size and talent, but he very rarely runs the ball hard which is a major concern for me.
He would not come cheaply, I suspect his contract value would be 700k minimum, so it would only end in disappointment unless we could somehow get him running the ball hard.
Is Benji the right coach to motivate a player blessed with his size, athleticism and skills to start running the ball hard ?
The evidence we have says probably not,

Maybe Pole, May and Hunt would fire him up. S Fainu has been playing injured. These two firing and playing big minutes would be a big upgrade. $700k sounds like a lot though. His stats seem good. He was one of the better players against us.

Not sure anyone is suggesting we will pay him 700k

Hunt is on a small contract don't know how the NRL could have registered it

They would never do it for the Tigers

Last night KPP had 13 hit ups for 138m with 62m post contact, 46 tackles and 6 missed. Ideally you’d like to see a few less misses but that is significantly better output than either of our second rowers have produced all season.

He’s averaging 112m per game compared to 63m for Seyfarth and 75m for Fainu, and his tackle efficiency is better than Fainu.

He’s a massive upgrade on Seyfarth and at this moment in better form than Fainu as well.

Which should have been blatantly obvious for anyone that has watched him/them play. Not an overly dynamic player, but does his job most every match.

If KPP signed here, I wouldn’t be opposed to releasing Galvin to get him early

I think he slots into Seyfarths spot and Seyfarth adds aggression off the bench, Bird for depth

Nah, leaves us short in the halves. We can wait. Old pond scumalvin is not on much, he’s worth the support to bring Latu through to be a regular starter.
