Well he is crap so I don't blame them....

Article on Dom Young.
Lists all the reasons it will be a shame if we lose him.
Says he has scored in 69% of games on average and the next best Knight all time is Uate on 68%.

Why the Newcastle Knights can't afford to lose Dominic Young

"The bottom line is that his best years are still ahead of him."

We should just move on and concentrate on hodgson as this seems like another brooks scenario

We should just move on and concentrate on hodgson as this seems like and there brooks scenario

So we target Miller and end up getting Kennedy? I like your thinking

To be honest, I think Miller will start the year at fullback if he comes, but if both he and Hodgson stay fit all year, it's 50/50 who will be our best fullback by the end of the year.
They are very different, but Hodgson should have the higher ceiling.

How long do we have to wait for any kind of update on Dom and Miller I wonder. Feels like it’s dragging on and on forever.

Dom might not be sorted until late in the season for all we know, so I wouldn’t get too worried about that yet.

Too late, I’ve been worried about that since the World Cup!

Joke of a club

 

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

Isn’t Bradbury our best junior coming through?

 

[Celticman98]

Nah I wouldn't have given them Bradbury at all. I would've traded either Sasagi or Toloi. Considering we've got quite a few young back rowers and centres.

 

[MattyM]

Literally don’t understand why the Sharks are so desperate for a trade. They literally lose nothing by releasing Miller. They’ve already got Kennedy, Dykes and Iro as fullback depth. Their forwards are stacked as well. Ffs.

 

[mullenmagic]

Maybe not our best but better than what I’d be willing to give up for a backup fullback with 7 games under his belt

 

[BTP]

Wooow. I’ll be disgusted if this is true. Bradbury has the best chance bar Keeley of debuting this year. With an already lack of props this year. Just a **** decision, let alone him being a junior. I know we need Miller for this season. Next to be “possibly” worth our while. But not for him. I’d much rather it have been Toloi or Sasagi. So disappointing.

Nothing is ever good enough

 

[krustykraz]

Knights need to take notes on how negotiations are done.
Did we get anything off the Sharks when we released Ramien?

Is the last 20 years of results "good enough" for you?

Toloi has left too
