Yeah that'd be a good coup for the Broncos. Feels unfair, they just won the comp, now get one of the young gun halfbacks to replace their retiring premiership winners, Jesse Southwell all over again. They'll set themselves up for a long time with Pezet.

Different organisations though. Different people have different ideas. PVL might ban them, a new CEO in 5 years time might have other ideas.

Just don't throw him to the wolves too early and burn him out completely by his mid 20s like we did with DSaf!

As far as guys who promised big things, there's a few that could be listed. Mullo was a really good player and every year it seemed like he was getting just that bit closer to reaching his potential, only for it all to be cut short by a steroid ban. Sione was the youngest Kangaroo ever and has...

And his brother Toka Likiliki. Ethan Cook, Josh Ailaomai and Chad Redman were juniors we were quite hopeful for at one point.

I read that and good on him for wanting to have a crack. But the absolute disrespect to the Knights halves in that article. 🤣 Basically speculating with our halves situation up in the air and no one able to cement a spot, Stig could be an outside chance to make a return. Like our halves...

Gamble was pretty dog **** to start the year. Remember he put off contract talks to earn a better deal and it looked to backfire because he was putting balls out on the full, got dropped and injured. Miraculously worked out for him in the end though and now he looks to be right in contention for...

Salty his mate got fired.

I can't jump on the Jeffries hate wagon just yet because anything less than a premiership was going to be considered a failure. The reality is, we finished 3rd, still did very well. 3 premierships in a row is a very hard thing to do, bound to lose eventually. Next season is his chance to fix any...

Put a bit of money on the girls today, shockingly considered underdogs today on the betting. Like I could understand the Roosters being slight favourites to win, but we were paying 2 dollars something, too good to pass up. We are much closer than those odds say we are.

Well that's the thing, if he's stays and he's out of favour he's going to tank his career. Unless he backs himself to completely rebrand his image at the club next year, you'd think him, the club and his management will be trying their best to find a suitor here or overseas, work out the finer...

What is Arthur like as a player and what is his history all that? I can admit I've never watched him play but he's getting talked up quite a bit.

Sounds very focused on that premiership. There was definitely a switch that flicked in him a few years ago now where you could tell he wanted to become the best player he could rather than being this cruisey dude who has a lot of things outside of football. He's been steadily getting more and...

I think Edwards would probably get it based off reputation, incumbent Origin fullback and Panthers premiership superstar. But I think if you were trying to genuinely pick the best team Ponga would have to be the choice. He would be at another level playing in a side like the Kangaroos and I...

People had that stigma about him being an older guy who didn't make it when he was younger, so he must have been bad but I reckon there was a brief period of time where he was up there with the best wingers in the game. Easy to forget now, but he was dynamite. Played 100 miles an hour too. If...

Be a brave team to give him another go though after falling out of favour at his fourth NRL club. The Roosters and Manly it was like, he was young and dumb, went away to England, grew up a bit. Then at the Tigers I think most gave him the benefit of the doubt, it was a basket case. But now that...

Think that's pie in the sky type stuff. If Pezet is leaving Melbourne it's probably for a team that is going to have a punt on him with decent money and a crack at 7. That's just how the game is these days, young guys with hype often get paid before their time. We won't be signing two halfbacks...

The calls for him to be at 6 weren't for nothing, he's just better suited to 1 as we've learned. Happens to be gifted with the both the ball playing and the running game. Elite talent, just needs the right structure supporting him.

Yeah that was a strange talking point from him. In a vacuum it makes sense, we made the finals, why are we overhauling the roster? But he acts like just three weeks ago everyone in the game weren't saying the Knights were **** and should sack the coach and all the players. Just being negative...

Yeah I'd say that'd be the thinking. Clearing the decks to make space for the next generation. Croker is decent and likely to become a dependable first-grader the more he plays, but he's off-contract in a rebuilding phase and not a must keep.
