How come then that I can’t win an argument anywhere near 72%?

Remember when they said Adam Blair was a good trainer.

Are you Finucane’s manager?

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Hey, I'm sure you have some good qualities

#Winning.

Maybe ask my cats.

I think he would be a welcome addition to the knights squad if Conner Watson leaves for a rival club

 

[mozza]

He did single handedly tear us apart on Saturday. So a 10 year deal at 1.5 million a year will suffice.

Seriously though he’s a good player but not at his asking price.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Do we know for sure what his “asking price” even is? All I’ve heard is he’s been made various offers and he’s mulling it over.

Knights resigned to missing Finucane signature

There is little optimism in the Knights camp with the Storm prop believed to be close to making...

Article says Cowboys rumoured to have offered 3 years for 1.8 mill - while we are offering 2 years and less money.
3 or 4 other clubs have offered big deals.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Best of luck to him what a rotten way to finish his career.

 

[krustykraz]

Good decision by the Knights offering a two year deal worth less than $600k a season. Any more money and it's overs any lengthier and it's a risk.
Good luck Cowboys.

 

[krustykraz]

Finucane signed with Sharks.
4 years $2.5mil.
$625, 000 a year.
That price would be reasonable for 2 years but 4 at his age and he has already played 212 games in the middle? Not many players play over 300 games in the middle.
Good luck Sharks.

 

[slotmachine]

Very happy that wasn't us doing that deal

 

[krustykraz]

Time to do a deal with Watson.
And buy a big fast winger.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Yep that’s a good deal if you cut it in half. Sharks are gonna get themselves in the same cap problems again.

Time to do a deal with Watson.
And buy a big fast winger.

I’d like to think there’s a good winger in amongst Young, Toa, Hoy, Sasagi, or some of the development players like Kiraz or Lucas. But yeah, I think we need to add some proven quality there.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

I think Hunt & Gagai as proven commodities & weekly starters, plus Best, To’a, Young & Sasagi competing for the other two spots, is a good balance. If we can move Shibasaki I’d probably retain Tuala on the cheap too.

I know it’s hard to see Best getting dropped but there are still some issues in his game and it doesn’t do anyone any good to totally shut the door on the possibility he could get a spell in reggies if someone leapfrogs him in certain centre KPIs.

Put it this way - if it was Melbourne with this playing group in the OBs, I don’t think they’d be panicking about finding the right players.

I’m a big believer in Sasagi’s talent in particular and the great thing about Gagai is that he can fill in anywhere in the four spots and do a job. Like if what we’ve got now isn’t good enough, Adzy’s got no clue.

After all the hype around Craig Fitzgibbon as a coach, it’s going to be hilarious if he’s just another Roosters/Storm assistant coach fail.

4 years 2.5m glad we dropped out of the race great player but risky contract
