Recruitment And Retention Discussion

I watched the Last game of seves at home and ive never seen a trainer ride a player so hard from the sideline, Adam Blair spent the whole half barking at him and only him non stop. disinterested would be a good way to describe his efforts. either not happy in Newcastle or doesnt like people pushing him to reach the elite level.

If Seve had hearing like a bat, he should have been able to hear me yelling for him to get involved from 30 klm away.

He looked a bit better when he played for Qld in the under 19s, but I still think he could have done a lot more. He just seems to wait for the ball to come his way, rather than calling for it.

Knights release rising star, under-19 Origin rep

He will return home to Queensland.

Article on Seve being released.
It confirms his contract was for top 30 in 2027 and so we have another top 30 spot to fill.
No mention of how much money, but minimum top 30 is 150k - so we now have 300k to spend if you add Seve's money to the 150k mentioned by Toohey last week.

There's a spot for Friz.
If we can't get Friz done for whatever reason, maybe Jones on a minimum deal?
 
If Seve was only on the minimum or close to it then we're no better off money-wise anyway, that spot will need to be filled by another player on the same amount. Would be helpful if he was on a bit more.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's replaced by Toby Winter in any case. He's on a development deal next year and will be eligible for NRL anyway but could use a promotion + pay increase to get another year or two on the end of his deal.

I thought Winter was already on a dev deal since the knights post said 2026 and 27’
 
Winter: Dev deal 26/7, already has a top 30 deal for 28/9. Much like how we didn't **** around and got four years of Cody Hopwood secured well before he actually made a first grade debut. This club has been a lot better about going "I know it when I see it" and not ****ing about with these kids.
