Bradman Best discussion

[Billy]

Let him look around.
I don't think many clubs will be keen on signing a guy with an injury history that goes back to under 16s.
He'd be worth big money if he showed up as often as Gags.

May have already been said, but Farnworth free to negotiate from Nov 1.
Suitable replacent.

I reckon Braddy stays. Win a comp with the Knights then get that money.

Already makes about $300K more than Braddy.

Worth every cent. Plays most games and doesn’t miss 6 weeks for Origin.

 

[Joel.M]

We won’t have enough money for those big money guys with Brown and Ponga on the books

 

[sherpa]

The issue with Best is obviously his injury history and playing State of Origin again reduces his on field time with the club. Ponga and Brown would have there hand's on the ball way more than Best and are far more influential on the teams performance. I hope he's just tying to up his value, which is fair enough, and he decides to stay here in Newcastle

Holbrook is apparently trying to push crossland into lock but crossland is adamant he prefers hooker and is fighting hard to keep his spot.

What’s the reasoning for shifting Crossland given Crokes is doing such a good job at 13? Does he prefer running threats at hooker eg Smith & Graham combo (when everyone’s fit)

Yep he will have to play till 40 to be a chance at 300 games .

His skillet does best match 13. Spiritual leader and tackle bot with the ball skills from playing in the halves through juniors. But thats just my opinion
She was talking about what's best for the team and the current squad. Both Harrison Graham and Hagan have massive wraps on them. Plus croker has surprised everyone in the 13 role.

Telegraph now saying he is out for thee matches .

3 more matches or next week being the 3rd game?

 

[Billy]

Crossland at lock would play 80 minutes and do 40 or even 50 tackles - which gives us an extra interchange to use - and also we'd have Croker to use at prop.
If Hagan and Graham look good enough at hooker next year, it's a way to give our young props shorter minutes and probably improve our defence.

Says the club expect him to be fit before finals start!

This is the bloke wanting more money right? Haha

 

[slotmachine]

Crossland with another 5-10kg would be a weapon at 13. I think swapping there once the sting has gone out of the game is perfect

 

[Sarge]

Apparently so . Don't think Pos will be held to ransom. He was well looked after in his younger years money wise

 

[MattyM]

If Bradman wants more money just to sit on the sidelines we may as well just give his contract to his brother Baxter and say thanks for everything mate.
