Tyson Frizell

How is it obvious it was lead by Ponga? Because you want to make him out to be toxic because he signed with us?

Lead by him as he is the highest profiled player on the team. Plus his interview on the matter was seriously unprofessional and his play towards the end of the season had members on here calling him out as well.

Might be time for people to ignore my username here and not target anything I ever say negatively but happy to gloss over anything positive.

I think you just need to stop personally criticising other members on here.
 
Where was the personal criticism?

Mate put me back on block you’re embarrassing yourself now.

Plenty of personal criticism directed at me. I’m not going to waste my time listing it all. Your comment about me having a breakdown today is an example.

I’m not going to block you, I’ve decided that when you get personal with me or anyone else, I will day something.

Ok if it makes you feel happy being the forum cop then go right ahead. :cheer:
 
The milkshake comment spoke volumes and though his a good young man in that moment he was a massive C.

That will follow him forever but honestly I don't think there was malice in it. In every interview he's had you can tell he's a young, laid back character who tells it as he sees it, he doesn't really fit into that standard cardboard cutout NRL player response where they're just saying the usual trained rubbish. It would have been a big learning curve for him, the NRL media do whatever they can to make a story out of a quote they can extract.

I also think Ponga’s explanation was a fair and reasonable one and definitely it showed his age. I’m confident there was no malice in it and he and Brown are still sweet.

WRAP: All the best of Round 3



CAMPO’S CORNER: The choice before John Bateman


Forget about backflips or deals being called off, Tyson Frizell’s contract with Newcastle has been approved by the NRL.

Frizell agreed to a three-year $2.1 million deal with the Knights in late March, but the deal, revealed by The Daily Telegraph, is yet to be officially announced.
The Daily Telegraph revealed the Origin back-rower’s signing when the NRL had suspended all contract negotiations during the competition’s shutdown.

This prompted furious league fans to question how a deal for 2020 and beyond could be done when there was an official hiatus on new player contracts.
Frizell took to Twitter to confirm his Knights deal, saying: “I have signed and agreed to the terms but due to the current circumstances it has not been registered with the NRL.

“With respect to the media and fans, I would like to make no further comment on my contract until an appropriate time.”
Dragons coach Paul McGregor left the door open for Frizell to stay at the club in an interview in April.
“I’m not sure whether that contract has been registered yet or how that goes, but he’s always welcome to stay if he likes,” McGregor said.

Despite McGregor’s optimism, Dragons officials always knew that Frizell was set on leaving for Newcastle.
The NRL have since approved the deal and official confirmation via Knights is expected in the coming days.
In more good news for Newcastle, the Knights will re-sign Connor Watson despite the hooker going down with a leg injury against Penrith.
Watson is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks, but the Knights are keen to retain him on a long-term deal.

The playmaker’s manager Clinton Schifcofske confirmed Newcastle’s interest.
“We’ve been talking to the Knights for a couple of months now,” Schifcofske said.
“Everything (contract wise) went quiet with everyone, but Newcastle have always shown an interest in re-signing him.
“Connor’s preference is to stay there, so I don’t see any dramas.”
Watson’s injury is a blow for the Knights, but Schifcofske is confident his client can return ahead of schedule.
“He will be back in six weeks and he will be good as gold,” he said.
“He is having surgery on Thursday and they can knock over that surgery in six weeks these days.
“He will have plenty of opportunity to get back into the team.
“It (the injury) is disappointing, but it is what it is.
“Connor is also as professional as they come, so he will look after himself and get back as quickly as he can.”
 
Not that it matters but would everyone prefer a Friz over an Ese? Would be nice to keep both but it’s becoming a pretty stacked team
 
Yeah, I think we need a gun edge player more than more really good middles. We have those coming out the wazoo at the moment.

Hopefully Ese'ese and Watson are happy to stick around on the same money or maybe a bit less in Watson's case. Trouble is the Dogs seem very keen on Herman. Will he stay for 200k a year less? I wouldn't.

Also Jake Saifiti's price tag is going up with every game. They should lock him up right now.
 
For mine the game has changed and Ese'ese is simply too slow to play the #13 role.

Look at the speed, defence and attack of say Jake, Radley, Murray. CBM's wrecking ball etc.

If your looking at a solution for lock we have our future lock already running around in Best in my opinion. He's the ideal mould for a mobile lock and if he can keep his speed as he finishes growing, he will be a very damaging ball runner, just needs to develop that offload which he already looks like he has in him.

How important have those guys become for their teams?

I'm a bit worried that we have been building this massive forward pack and just as the young blokes are maturing in to their huge frames the game is moving away from them. This year our big units do look incredibly fit though, which is a plus. There are a couple of middle forward juniors coming through who are mobile and can use the ball a bit. It is time to encourage that role again. It also means that Watson becomes an even more important player for us playing in the middle.
