Siuatonga Likiliki unhappy with his time in Newcastle and has agreed to rejoin the Warriors next season. Daine Laurie is under the microscope by Wayne Bennett at the moment seems likely he'll be given a contract for next season with the Knights.

The Likiliki rumor isn't true, Daine Laurie is i hope, would be usefull and keep the current squad of forwards honest.

Aaaah, haven't been online all day & just read this! Gave me a mini heart attack! Even though it's untrue where did you hear these 2 rumours?
 
Sorry if I am repeating whats already been said, but Joseph Tomane signed a 2 year deal with ACT Brumbies for next year. Hes playing the rest of the year at my footy club in Canberra. He made me look like a peasant when I was playing touch before training last night, will fit well into rugby.

I dunno where the Likiliki rumor came from, but he refuted it on his twitter.
 
Both Likiliki and Laurie rumours from RLW.. Seems interesting both of Newcastle's big rookie signings Henry and Likiliki have appeared to fail. I wonder how much Likiliki is on?
 
I wouldn't really call Likiliki a 'fail', especially when he hasn't even had a shot at FG for us yet!
 
KOD hasn't lived up to expectations either, both Liki & KOD have been disappointing in NSW Cup.
 
I've got a signature card of Likiliki from this years NRL trading cards set that cost 30 bucks, so he'd better at least play a single game of first grade for us!!!
 
NQ Cowboy Will Tupou is considering and offer from the western force. Look forward to seeing him back in 4-5 years time.

Speaking of union, Wests Tigers have pulled out of the race to sign Ryan Cross however there are still clubs talking to him and he is said to be very keen to rejoin the NRL. It's getting almost comical how they just keep coming back after they take a few years in union earning some dollars. I wonder where he will end up my guess would be a Sydney club possibly Souths?

Great move by Preston I was very worried when he put his hand up for next season earlier on in the year, it just didn't sound like he was doing it for the right reasons ( ie. to play with Idris ). Just a shame he won't be sent out in the finals I would imagine he'll play his last match in the all stars match though which would be good.

Well given all the injuries we have faced this year and his inability to break into first grade I would class that as a fail. His form has been average and if injuries are more kind to the knights next year he would struggle even further to crack first grade. I think a move back to the warriors would be good for his first grade prospects but you would have to be mad to walk away from the Knights at this point in time given the evolution starting next year. I guess it just depends on what Bennett thinks of him.. And that man is so hard to read sometimes..

Im hearing the Panthers have signed one of our players? 120k odd
I imagine it's Ciraldo, Southern, Mika, maybe Kaufusi (though probably not)
 
This is from the Phil Gould doodle in the DT today and is total speculation. It was last month as well. He may well have been after Stig, but there's no assurance he was even trying to sign a Knight.
 
Yeah that article was a bit of a joke, surely he has better things to report on. I heard the Panthers were after Stig but looks like they missed out. I imagine they are after a backrower after losing Waterhouse, so Mika, Southern or Ciraldo could be on the cards (though the Panthers weren't one of clubs interested)
