2023 Recruitment & Retention Thread

Been hit or miss for a while now. Still the one to go to for Knights news because no one outside of Newcastle cares what's going on up here unless it's Ponga-related, but he's only giving out scoops that the club wants you to hear.
 
Get the feeling he is leaked what is wanted leaked and kept in dark about the rest, probably has some past contacts but the rest is like us, guess work.
 
I don't know why people think Toohey is being frozen out or something.

It's pretty simple, what is happening.

He used to be paid money to spend 30 or 40 hours a week finding stuff to report.

He is now retired and probably makes 2 or 3 phone calls and spends an hour writing an article for a bit of pocket money once a week.

He's gone from basically living at Knights HQ to making a few calls. His info has suffered accordingly.

Still reliable IMO
 
What we have left for 2023

Top 30:

Tyson, Fitz and Johns have all taken PO for 2023.

Top 30 has 5 spots with two of those possibly going to;

Bevan French
Kai Pearce-Paul

Leaves us with 3 spots for 2023.

Top 30 Roster 2023 August 2022.jpg

Off Contract 2022:

Phoenix Crossland, Brayden Musgrove, Pasami Saulo

You would think Crossland, Saulo get resigned and we are left with one spot for a halfback...

Development Spots 2023:

Chris Vea'ila

Some room here...

Assuming Phytian has been released as he doesnt appear anywhere?

Think I read somewhere that Phythian is unlikely to sign for another part-time contract with us. He might be going back to play with Lakes I think?
 
Siosifa Talakai can talk to other clubs from Nov 1st Personally i wouldn't mind him here , Talakai at centre and best on the wing would be a powerful combo..
