Geez.... a backline with Best and Staggs as your centres - that is a mouth watering proposition...

 

[Frank McWilliams]

And a goalkicker

 

[MattyM]

The kid is so overrated. Just my opinion.

 

[Billy]

He's 2 years older than Star To'a and about where I think Star will be in 2 years time.
He'll want big money and we could spend big money on a forward or two if we had it.

Hey, we are all entitled to one ....

I just think in a side that was going like a busted, none of the players wanted to put in and they were the wooden spooners, he was always giving 110% in attack and defence.... his highlights reel from 2020, in as side that finished last, doesn't look too poor either...just sayin'

Hey Billy...

1) I hope Starford is up to this standard in 2 years time - I see the potential and hope it is realised, for our sake

2) They are talking $700K plus for him and agree we probably have more pressing priorities, although I still believe we are light on in quality backs...I just like the idea of a backline with Best and Staggs (with Ponga chiming in )

 

[packo]

Always hurt

 

[knightime]

Great player but will be way too much money. 5/8 and back/front row is where we should be reinforcing IMO.

 

[mozza]

Excellent attacking player but his defence is balls.

I have no issues with our current centre options. Money should be spent elsewhere.

 

[Kurriboy]

Pass. We have centre covered.

 

[Ethan]

Im pretty happy with the backs we have adding Watson and Mann to that list too. I dont think we need to spend that much on Staggs.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

Need a goalkicker, hopefully in high 80% success rate

 

[Ethan]

Yeah because Ponga is no where near that.

Aidan Guerra - kicks at 100%...and from the side line. I also believe he doesn't have a contract for this year

 

[Billy]

Zane Camroux kicked 15 from 20 in SG Ball in 2020 - that's 75%

 

[Grandpa Joe]

The kid is so overrated. Just my opinion.

Wow did you watch him? He was creating stuff from nothing - reminds of Jack Bird when he burst onto the scene.

 

[Jaybro]

Would be a dream but unless you’re the roosters having two centres taking up 1.5M of your cap means you’re going to be hurting in other areas of your squad

 

[Still_Nutty]

Extracted from Billy's post in the 'Toohey's News' thread...13/3
Knights have been talking to Kotoni Staggs but his 800k price tag is too much....

Interesting to be talking to Staggs at this point, with him still not expected to be pulling a boot on until at least mid season or later...obviously price is too high, particularly based on the uncertainty of how well he'll return from the injury but it is a pointer to what sort of recruitment Obi is looking for around the squad next year

 

[Grandpa Joe]

G'day Hoops, update on Kotoni Staggs please, any chance of him coming to the eels anymore? Absolute gun
He knocked back the Eels offer but that doesn't mean it's all over. Tip around town the Knights are also heavily in the fight. - Hoopers Blog today.

 

[ApperceptionJosh]

Would be an amazing get, just wonder how much parra would have offered to get knocked back. Sure that it is a more attractive offer than what we have atm, not to mention culture wise
