Development deals

Krys Mapapalangi
Chris Vea'ila
Tex Hoy (for 2022 only)

Leaving to other clubs

Jesse Sue - ESL?
Mitch Barnett - Warriors
Edrick Lee - Dolphins
Jirah Momoisea - Parra

Hetherington & Elliot are signed...

Milford apparently off to Dolphins

Clifford long odds to still be here

Roster will be worse in 2023 than 2022... So fighting witht he titans for another spoon!

 

[BETTERTHANLEGO]

I’d go with Elliott at 13 and Mann in the 14 covers almost every position.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

Thinking we re-sign Hoy
Cover possible move Ponga to 6, if not Hoy to 6, not great but an option, lost confidence in Hodgson with constant injury.
Need to fastrack Mapapalangi and Sasagi development

Does anyone know why let Beau Fermor go in early 2020?

 

[slotmachine]

He wanted to go home.

Does anyone know why let Beau Fermor go in early 2020?

His story is that Mal Meninga rang him and asked for him to sign, and he couldn't say no to Mal.
We didn't even start talks with him from memory, so never got to make him an offer.

 

[Kurriboy]

Brooks getting dropped. Story now Tigers happy to see him gone.

Wonder if he lands here.

Someone said yesterday that Barry said we had no interest now.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Dolphins make a lot of sense for him.

 

[krustykraz]

Dolphins make a lot of sense for him.

Bennett would be better for his career than O'Brien

 

[Junior]

Clifford long odds to still be here

There is 0 reports linking him with a move from knights, this is purely speculation

Another Toohey comment on his Twitter is there’s no talk of him leaving.

 

[JOJO82]

Geez it's depressing being a knights supporter at times.

Peters mentioned it on the Toohey’s News podcast today as well

 

[krustykraz]

Good luck to him. I thought he was good for us last year. Not needed so much anymore

 

[Maxibon]

Hoy reportedly signed with Hull KR from next year onwards, has a clause that he can stay in the NRL if he finds something suitable.

Gotta say, he was good for us earlier this year, with no real clear path forward in the halves and Hodgeson clouded with injury might be good to hang on to him.

 

[Billy]

A year or two of regular ESL might be the making of Hoy.
It's a pity that we never look at guys we sent over there again.
Yeats is one I'd love to see get another shot.
