Rebuild The Knights

Unfortunately living in Melbourne and my work schedule I haven't been able to commit to the campaign as much as I would love to. The bloke who deserves all the credit is Nuffy on LU. He's been the guy representing us in the interviews and speaking with the club as well as playing a big role in defining our points. Also have to give a lot of credit to Macavity for helping Nuffy. I've really just been the guy spreading the campaign here and maintaining the Facebook page.

Fair enough. They are more than welcome on here as well, if they wish. :)

It's great that you've built up such a relationship with the club in such a short time.
 
Paul Kent says that a half Dozen of our experienced long serving players are resting on they're laurels and just taking they're pay and not putting in and that those players need to be moved on and some young tyro's put in they're places to get the team going again...
Which players do you think he was talking about , personally I think its : Snowden , Mullen ,Houston, McManus , Uate ,Roberts doesn't seem to be up to playing 1/2 back and gids try's to hard imo ...Roberts $400,000 , Uate $500,000 , Mcmanus $350,000 or so about the same for Houston , Mullen $550,000 that's about $2,150,000 we could spend elsewhere
1 Mamo
2 Chanel
3 Sione
4 Gagai
5 Pat
6 ?????
7 Hodkinson
8 Korbin
9 Levi/Randall
10 ???????
11 Tapine
12 Rochow
13 Tariq
14 Levi/Randall
15 Paea
16 Stockwell
17 Vaivai/Mataora
$2,150,000 would buy us any 5/8 and any big nasty prop .....

Hardly news, but it's good that someone in the media is saying it. Add Fa'aoso and Scott, take off Mullen (one game back and our attack looked dangerous for the first time in months).

Most of the established players have been terrible this year.

Beau Scott has certainly been going through the motions this year. I'm pretty happy that he's going now.

We need to get rid of fa'alogo Houston McManus and with that money try get someone like a sam Moa from the roosters , I'm happy enough with the talent coming through with the likes of levi tapine mata'utia boys Mamo etc , I also think korbin will play rep footy very soon and for a long time lets not forget how young he is , we need to sign him and Tariq up long term , get rid of the dead wood especially if there older and bring these good young kids in , I can see our backline be one of the best in the next 3 years .. The only player I have changed my mind of getting rid of is clint Newton !.. I think he's mentoring role in the nsw cup for our young forwards is really impressive , providing were not paying overs for him that is
 
I don't know where people get these figures (pay) from... someone pulls a number out of their backside and it's taken as Gospel. Can guarantee, 100%, at least a couple of those players mentioned aren't earning anything near what is mentioned on here sometimes.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was on the Sunday footy show that they said Moa signed with Titans?
 
Agree with the above comments about Scott, the minute he signed with Parra he has clocked off ......

I think as hard as it would be to accept and I doubt he would ever leave I think if Mullen ever wants to realise his full potential he needs to leave Newcastle and get out of his comfort zone play under a coach who actually demands something from him ......

Would love to see him lead us to a premiership, win a dally M and play origin but he is definitely one of those guys Paul Kent was talking about. Look at Kade he was lazy when he was first here then went to Cronulla became a beast came back and even though his stats look good no one can argue he isn't giving us the 400k performance his contract demands ......

Some guys need to be out of their comfort zone to get the best out of themselves, I know it sounds romantic to have a Newcastle boy like Jarrod lead a bunch of Newcaslte boys like Kade, Tyrone, Randell, etc coached by a Newy bloke like Stone with a club legend As CEO to win a premiership but is it going to happen ????

Roberts is reportedly on $385,000 , Uate signed for $500,000 , Im sure i remember Houston signed for $350,000 but could be wrong , Mullen was on the Knights web site at $550,000 and if Roberts is on $385,000 and Uate is $500,000 you would think Mcmanus a mainstay in the team would have to be up there with Tyrone . So which players 100% guaranteed arnt getting that much and why.
 
This is the club that is giving Roberts 400k, and swapping Fa'alogo/Scott/Gidley/BJ for Mickey Paea and Hodkinson.

Literally anything is possible.
 
Surely it wouldn't be that much.

It's absolutely ridiculous that we signed him for two more years, rather than one, in the first place.
 
I seem to remember that $350,000 was the price and thinking it was way too much (cant remember where I heard or read it ) but now im thinking it could have been $250,000 because even that is way too much .
Still a decent amount if we got rid of these guys :
Houston Say $250,000 I would,nt think there are too many established 1st graders on less than this.
Roberts $385,000
Mcmanus Say $300,000 Cant imagine Jimmy on less than this when Uate is on 500,000.
Mullen $550,000 Im over waiting for him too step up permenantly .
Uate $500,000 No way in hell have we got anywhere near that out of him in the last 2 years.

Faalogo , Bj , Gids and Scotts money i imagine would go towards Hodkinson , Paea and the Matautias deals.
With Hodkinson here we can cover all these players accept Mullen and with nearly 2 mill to spend we could buy any 5/8 we wanted Foran would have been nice, maybe Carney if he pulls his head in or Albert Kelly.
Of course this wont happen but I think its what we really need . Oh and 1 BIG nasty prop that scares the opposition as we haven't had 1 of those for a while either .
