Forget Drinkwater, he has joined the cows:

Damn... we thought we had him

Kallum Watkins, an English centre. 28 years old, former English international, apparently off contract.

We do need a centre. Anyone know if he's any good these days?

Doesn’t have to be much good to be better than what we have

In the twilight of his career, coming back from a knee reconstruction and unwanted at his own club. Ticks every box of the Wests Tigers recruitment checklist. Let's offer him 4 years with another 4 as an option in his favour. Make it happen Madgey.

@avocadoontoast not sure how, but you’ve made the coach sound like a Pokémon🤣

Must admit that made me laugh out loud 🙂

 

[swag_tiger]

Apparently we were in talks with Ese'ese but we chose to go with Mannah instead.

 

[TieDye]

@swag_tiger oh goodness, who has said that

 

[tiger05premier]

@TieDye it was on 10 news but we didn't have cap room

We didn't actually chose mannah over Ese'ese

 

[swag_tiger]

@TieDye won't name the source but Knights are prepared to release him pre June 30th if possible.

 

[TieDye]

@swag_tiger fair , I’ll keep my ears open as well, haven’t heard much about him at all this year though must’ve been a real dud signing to be on the outer at Knights now?

 

[swag_tiger]

Not a dud at all just not to Nathan Brown's liking.

 

[swag_tiger]

@THE_POM any news on pre June 30th movement for us?

Has played 8 games for them off the bench this year and has averaged 71 meters in 29 minutes. Knights have an over supply of props - Klemmer, Gavet, Saifiti, Safitti, King, Glasby, Ese'ese all first grade quality and prob all except mayby King would make most top 17s

 

[TieDye]

@boonboon Gavet and Glasby will be on their way out soon and tbf Gavet doesn’t equate to a bootlace on Klemmer or Fitzgibbon, outside of that I’d only take a Saifiti twin.

Interesting stats for Herman and as I said actually wanted him last contract window! Just have been unsure of his form

...and now Farah is thinking about another year. Apparently they want to retire together. Hmmmmm.

 

[NT_Tiger]

@cqtiger No time like the present

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Disappointing that we missed out.

Averaging 73m (21m PCM) and 18 tackles in 29 minutes. Decent output for a benchie.

Time to go in a new direction imo.
