Cool, gotta free up all that room and cap space for all the guys kicking the doors down to come to the club i guess?

Sounds like AOB is trying to move on all the experience from the club to either have an excuse that they are a young team and it will take time yada yada or getting rid of anyone that challenges the way things are being done.

Knights winger in demand as contract talks loom

"The initial price for Dom would have been very, very different pre World Cup."
www.newcastleherald.com.au www.newcastleherald.com.au

Article says Young's manager will talk to the Knights on Friday.
Says the Knights have shown "loose interest" but have not talked dollars.
Also says 12 Knights are free to negotiate from yesterday and lists them as;
Young, Frizell, Klemmer, Kurt Mann, Bailey Hodgson, Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Brodie Jones, Hymel Hunt, Enari Tuala, Chris Randall, Jack Johns, Adam Clune
 
If we are going to have no halfback next year and they are going to play ponga at 6. Would it be worth joey trying to get as much information and knowledge into him as possible and give him a cracker at 7. Maybe Gamble at 6 and gags 1.?
 
NRL360 is unwatchable these days. It was already not great, but it’s hit rock bottom since Ikin left, at least he kept a bit of sanity to things.

I like Six tackles with Gus and the Joey and Fittler shows on YouTube during the season though, they’re pretty laid back and non-sensationalist. Even if Gus is a bit of a dinosaur. 😂

Don't know if you boys watch Bloke in Bar on YouTube. Very good footy analysts. On the latest episode there's a segment they talk about Brooks, Garrick, Knights, etc. You can scroll to just that section if you don't want to watch the whole episode.

On this episode I've mentioned, all those boys talk at length about Ponga shouldn't be playing 6. And Joey and Freddy were in agreeance earlier this year.
In hindsight, I think losing Mitch Peace was compounded because I thought he and Ponga were starting to build a good combination. But Ponga only played half a season. I've said it before we have had some really poor injuries years with players in key positions. For starters, we need to have some luck and keep a top 17 on the park.
 
Frizz carried a lot of injuries all last year.
I'd suggest we let him train with no contact till about a month before the season and look after him a lot better next year.
 
Still no signings for the Knights and putting all their eggs in one basket in the hope that they get their halfback who has played a total of 0 finals matches.

This club is really starting to annoy me....no decent signings, still trying to sign brooks....I seriously think the spoon is a reality for us next year.
 
On the topic of “bloke in a bar”, “rugby league guru” and the “hello sport” podcasts has anyone got any other favourite YouTube channels or podcasts that talk about rugby league?
