2025 Recruitment And Retention

[Les Misérables]

Give it up dude. If there was ever a culture that was ‘team first, individual second’ then it is Melbourne Storm.

We'll find out very soon. No need to speculate

 

[Roundtable]

When do we think Pezet will make a decision?

 

[Thieves Like Us]

Madden has apparently been tapped on the shoulder by the Broncos.

 

[Kickitoverhere]

Would add nicely to our reserve grade quality halves collection

If we don't hear anything this week, it will be mid-January before we hear anything re Pezet, KPP and Leo.

Oh yeah, with all the hot air being blown about Leo and Pezet I’d forgotten KPP was off contract too. Not heard any rumours about our offer or clubs being visited. Anyone else?

 

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

We need props more than backrowers for mine, but potential wise I think KPP has a higher ceiling than Leo.

 

[alexwilliams]

I reckon KPP will stay... Leo, not so sure.

Daily Telegraph has Knights, Manly and Roosters as the teams to drop out of the 8 next season.

We will definitely be flying under the radar, with a lot of teams gaining new recruits/coach. We haven’t recruited heavy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve. Some teams will be overhyped heading into next season.

They said the same thing last year, and were wrong.

 

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

I love the fact we are being written off!

 

[jamesgould]

I reckon KPP will stay... Leo, not so sure.

Seems to be zero talk about any interest in him, so I think we will be able to do a deal with KPP.

 

[mullenmagic]

It was mentioned in one of the big write-ups on all of the upcoming free agents at the start of November that the Broncos had some interest in KPP, but nothing substantial has come of it. That was also before signing Hunt and deciding to keep Hetherington so might not even have room for him anymore.

 

[Billy]

KPP has about a year to find a deal.
He probably has a fallback option of half the esl willing to sign him for good money.
He should be backing himself to earn better offers than he would get now by playing well.
On the other hand, Leo would have peak interest right now, so would want a deal.

 

[mullenmagic]

Parr says Leo just got back into Newcastle over the past few days and they hope to pick up negotiations. Says he's confident the Knights offer will be competitive with what other clubs are offering, so it'll be up to Leo to decide what he wants to do.

Knights confident they're in the mix to keep off-contract prop

Thompson has been courted by multiple rivals, including his former club Canberra.

KPP is probably the opposite of Leo money wise, has probably been paid overs for two years and may have to take a haircut, no matter where he ends up, or at least be on the same. We can't really offer him an upgrade for this year Luke we can Leo.

KPP will probably leave his only worth 550k to 600k.

He's worth 700+ in the right system. We just don't use his profile correctly. He is quality talent

 

[Frank McWilliams]

KPP has coming season to show his talents and with possibly Frizell moving to middle then KPP can slot into his position leaving Lucas on left. He will have to show a bit more if wanting an extension, lot more if he wants a salary increase

 

[Chief Longhorn]

Re-signed I hope!
