2022 Knights Recruitment & Retention Thread

Mann developed a pass? He might want to start implanting that in games then.

Joey even left Frizell out of his origin side and pointed it to the fact that he hasn’t got much ball with Mann being on the right hand side with him.

I think Mann needs to be given a go there. Strong runner of the ball, can defend and has developed a pass. Naturally he will run the ball more but he would make us good yardage.

Could be an option. Needs to get a chance to show he can play well there.
I think out of our options, Hunt, Mann, Best, Simi we can find a good right centre.
I think our main target should be a big strong winger who can do the tough carries out of trouble.
Id be happy with,
Centre= Hunt and Best (Sasagi in training)
Wing= Corey Oates and Toa
Musgrove as back up for both

Dom Young seems to be primarily a right centre.
Dylan Lucas plays centre - mostly left, but he also plays right
Christopher Vaile plays fullback and right centre
Simi Sasagi played in the halves in the first few games of reserve grade, but his last few have been at right centre.
Our new signing from Manly is being talked about as a centre, although he seems to have been playing 5/8 for Manly in SG Ball.

It feels like every exciting young prospect we have is being measured up for right centre.
 
Yeah I think Oates & Isaako will be Brisbane’s wingers now, and they’ll be on the hunt for a fullback. I don’t think they’ve got a lot coming through.

I would look at the below players from that list
Blake Ferguson
Will hopoate
Tesi Niu
Caleb Aekin
Pete hiku
Ashley Taylor
Nathan Brown
Angus Crichton
Xavier Coates

Crichton has re-signed with Easts and we wouldn’t be able to afford him. Coates as good as signed for Melbourne.
Tesi is as much of a project player as a lot of guys we have now, not established.
Aekins I can’t see a spot for, we’ve got a lot of backup at fullback already & he doesn’t play another position.
Nathan Brown is filling that Yeo/Radley ball playing lock role with aplomb this season, and is a reason why Parra are rolling downfield even easier than last year. He’d be expensive and I view him as a similar player to Barnett though, or Brodie. I’d like to see us give Barnett/Brodie a crack at starting at 13. If they can’t do it here’s a name for us to look at: Sione Fainu. Manase Fainu’s little brother, Manly development player, very much the prototypical modern ball playing 13.

It's a good move for Coates.
He looks like a great athlete but makes a lot of rookie errors still.
Bellamy will turn him into the best winger in the game. A Folau or Inglis type talent under Bellamy.

Depressing that the Storm can somehow afford to get Coates, whilst we can’t afford to keep Edrick Lee!!!

I think it’s not so much about price for Lee as it is availability. He’s a player going forward who will probably be unavailable for Origin and almost certainly be unavailable due to injury. Even at minimum wage we’d be paying someone else (Toa/Musgrove) to fill his spot while he’s always out.
 
It is the mole reporting it but you Knights fans better avoid reading it as it may disturb you.

Klemmer and Lodge involved in a swap deal.

Highly unlikely to happen even if in the remote chance it’s true in my opinion.
