Probably an unpopular opinion. But I'd take Daine Laurie back on low wages, apparently doesn't have a contract for next year. He's an ideal 14/Cup backup. He'd be one hell of an ungrade on Heath Mason

Nah his heart has never left Penrith. I only want players that want to play for the club.

Well he won't be playing there next year. And half hearted he's an upgrade on Mason

Don't want Laurie back mate he had his opportunity and didn't take it.

No 2nd chances for a guy that showed his heart was elsewhere.

He'd rather play reserve grade at Penrith than first grade here. Says it all really. Benji said it himself, "we don't want players who don't want to be here."

10 ,11we were shafted. Anasta split the scrum - game over , Next Jeremy Smith run shotgun over us (illegally)and when we fought fire with fire we got penalized. Im still peeved about missing out on those GF's ,but placated to an extent that the powers that be helped get us that far. Our tern will come again -1day

All Chris Lawrence or Molzten had to do was put a finger on Krisnan Inu and it was game over. Ah well.

Low ball ,Moale, give him 1yr 2nd yr is club option . I'd expect he'd bust a gut to put himself in the window of the new clubs and the feeding frenzy that comes with them

David Moale, age 22, 186cm, 112 kg - played plenty of NRL. out now-wrist injury
Liam Henry 24 yrs, 190cm, 105 kg
Lindsay Smith, 25yrs, 194cm, 106 kg
Tuku Hau Tapuka, 23yrs, 196cm, 114 kg
Griffin Neame, 24 yrs, 193cm, 106 kg
Surely we can cherry pick from this group for another prop that wouldn't send us broke?

I’d rather we get the guy who’s the next big name.

That’s how teams get to the top 4.

Any suggestions?

easy ,but their basically long shots . Hardly watch enough nrl these day's to say . Boss man n Coach ,Im confident will choose correctly .

If the price is right .Riff are doing a whole restructure of their grades

 

[jirskyr]

He was told you go hard today as this lot are soft , they don’t have any heavy hitting guys so just run over them

They were right, we need Eisenhuth back. Eisenhuth was always the anti-Taumololo... even in his prime Huthy could stop JT 1-on-1 at the try line.

 

[jirskyr]

Hypothetical, you can pick up Radley and Smith next year.. do you do it?

What does the "magic 8 ball" say?

I maintain Tigers should have won 1 more GF during that period. 2010 was the closest we got but 2011 we had the better team.

 

[Tom Shines]

Ponga carried the team into the finals on several occasions. They have been awful this year with a good enough roster

so one player can get you in the finals ? No wonder he gets paid so much …

We really need to get one of those players

2011 Final Krisnan Inu/Worriers. 😡

 

[Tito Santana]

We should try to get Alamoti from Penrith. Would really stiffen up our back line.

100%. Kid can play. Would be a starter in our side. If he gets injured you’ve still got some good backs there in Toa, Mak, Skelton etc.

Any time Newcastle have had success, it’s been the result of them being a one team. But last year it really punched you in the face. They had arguably the worst spine in the comp outside Ponga. At least next year they will have Brown and Sharpe, assuming he’s recovered. And Sandon Smith assuming he wasn’t one of the guys on the nose beers with the cheese.

Not sure how much of the knights you watched during their runs last couple of years or this year in fact, but Ponga was incredible in those runs. One man team is not far off. They have been absolutely dreadful this year with a few more attacking weapons on the park. Their attack makes us look like 05 Tigers.

Forget about Alamoti and Laurie.

That young kid they’ve got David Fale looked pretty talented out there.

7 tackle breaks against a Bulldogs defensive side is pretty solid stuff.

Very close to Turuva and available to talk to clubs in November - can cover wing/centre.

I agree (RE: Fale)

He's been doing well in cup.
Looks quite tall & athletic also.

Watched him closely last night, looked up for the challenge.
