    Players who signed for us that did nothing the import thread

    Definitely Tariq Sims & Ramien for me, both came here with massive expectations and looked like they wanted out from day 1. Korbin had a crack when he first made grade, but the way he left was poor. I won’t get many people agree with me but Darius was very good the first two years imo, it was...

    Toohey's News

    Toohey’s news today was mostly about Sione leaving, must admit it was sad to read, the guy loves the club so much and we all had such high hopes for him. Probably could have offered him a reduced deal and he would taken it. Obi clearly not a fan which is fair enough, Sione hasn’t reached the...

    2021 signing rumours

    Hypothetical scenario, if Cows/ Payten decide they’re going with Clifford & Drinkwater and tap Morgan on the shoulder, is he worth pursuing for the Knights? Looking at our roster with the age & contract situations of a few of our ‘marquee players’ we’ve probably entered our premiership window...

    2021 signing rumours

    Yeah I can’t see it, he played 1 and a half good games at centre in 2017 for Qld, the. Ext series they tried him there he was average. Moving a halfback to centre in his 30s whilst also struggling with injuries sounds like a recipe for disaster. Payten might need to make the tough call and...

    2021 signing rumours

    I can’t see Morgan working out as a centre long term, but as you said he’s got injury worries. Clifford and Drinkwater look like a good halves pairing, both have good kicking games whilst Clifford’s game management and Drinkwater’s flair complement each other. Can we have both?

    2021 signing rumours

    Who do you see as the odd man out? Or how will they fit all three of Clifford, Drinkwater & Morgan into the 17?

    2021 signing rumours

    Having a look through the contract situations, the guys who are into the last 12 months of their deals we could/ should have a look at IMO Jordan Riki (Broncos) - Despite the signing of Frizzell we need depth at back row Hudson Young (Raiders) - As mentioned he can play middle & edge and he's...

    2021 signing rumours

    The thought of Mann playing Lock is depressing, he might be the same size of Murray but that's where the comparisons end. As someone said playing Watson off the bench as a middle is one thing (that has only been tested for about 3 games) but playing Mann as the starting lock and Watson in...

    Farewell to Sione Mata'utia

    Sad to see him go but sadly he never really hit the heights we thought he would when he was killing in through the juniors. A lot needs to go right for a player to be a top NRL player, and for Sione he just never got the breaks he needed. I hope he does well for St. Helens they would be my...

    2021 signing rumours

    Definitely won't be left centre, but he'd be more suited to left centre than right. I'm no Kurt Mann fan, I appreciate he gives his all and won't let you down, but he just isn't that good.

    2021 signing rumours

    Probably more suited to left centre than right, but maybe that’s where he will play next year

    2021 signing rumours

    Hi all I’m back after a long lay off just reading through some off the comments, some interesting ideas thrown up. Mann as a lock doesn’t sound like a good idea, I understand why they want to play Watson as a lock off the bench to utilise his strong running game and speed around the ruck, but...

    Knights possible Origin players and who to replace them with

    As for Dan I'm surprised he got picked I thought they'd look elsewhere TBH but good on him, looking at our bench it's clear Freddy wants mobile defenders so I think Dan will play 20-30 minutes tops, probably in there to damage some canetoads in the first quarter of the match. Great news for...

    Knights possible Origin players and who to replace them with

    I think Pearce has probably always been a 6.5/10 player at Origin with the odd real good game (Game I 2017). It's the fact in the key moments of the close games he hasn't been able to come up with the big play. The 2017 series was the one where he really should have won, but the entire side went...

    Kalyn Ponga discussion

    I enjoyed that one lol Can you imagine actually telling a player of his calibre "Before re-sign you you'll need to start using social media more" laughable it really is.

    Josh Reynolds

    Sorry mate I can't agree he's been sensational, solid at best and starved of opportunities. The one real ripper game he had was against Canberra and even then it was all in the first half, he went quiet in the 2nd half. It seems as though Brown has the side set up with Mann and Ponga playing...

    Knights possible Origin players and who to replace them with

    I honestly like Cleary but these people have their blinkers on when they watch him play, a few people are now starting to have the balls to call him out, he's a good young player but at this stage in his career he's very limited and is struggling with his game. Some credit must be given to him...

    I think the Wallabies is the last place he'd go tbh

    Kalyn Ponga discussion

    The thing with Kayln is that I don't think anyone apart from his inner circle actually know what he wants to do or what type of person he is. He doesn't give away too much with his laid back attitude it's hard to get a read of him. People presume he'll go chase the money or go to the All Blacks...
