A mate messaged it to me and I predicted a Phoenix Crossland 2023 contract extension ... somehow they found something even more boring to announce though! 😂

Never trust the Knights social media!

It has really got to the stage when they are best not to say anything. They have cried wolf too many times now.
 
Nope I see no quality in the guy. Reserve grader that has got lucky with being at the right club at the right time to be playing FG. If the Tigers weren’t so incompetent he wouldn’t see FG.

Does anyone actually think munster would come here if KP stayed? Or are they both off to dolphins?

It's pretty wishful thinking. I think if he has big career ambitions we will be close to last choice of his options.
 
Barnett has been released for next year.

Likely to lose Barnett, Saulo, Musgrove and I don't think we'll give Lee another year unless he has a blinder and stays fit.

Lee seems very much in our top 13 i think, the fact they offered him a contract this year and we stuck by him during his injury, I think shows we are confident in him. No better wingers on the market, providing he puts together a fair few matches with minimal disruption.
Saulo is on the out, let him go and sign Mat Croker to top 30 easy decision in my opinion.
Musgrove isn't a loss, has never really reached the first grade standard yet, gives room to uprade Lucas or Tex i would assume.

Lee will be 30 years old and because of injuries he's averaged 11 games of firstgrade a year over 10 years - and Dom Young has his name all over that spot if fit.

Good point. 11 games a year is not excellent! I just thought he looked huge and powerful last week. He almost never gets dominated in a tackle.
