Players you would like to see at the Knights

so we now have 4 great prospects for the fullback spot in NYC - and this kid seems the least likely for 2017, but he might be a good chance in 2018 and 19.

He will end up in the forwards for sure

Article says we are chasing Ponga, Sio and wanting to swap Mamo for Wardle.

Also says Dave Fifita is unlikely, and backs are a bigger priority than forwards.

but defense wins games and we need props!

There aren't any decent ones available unless Matulino gets the chop.

We also desperately need some quality in the backline. Our first choice backline as of right now will have to include multiple players that are of NSW Cup quality at other clubs, let alone when we have to start calling in the replacements when injuries roll in. Front row would be great to improve upon, but we can live without adding anyone if we aren't able to.

 

[Billy]

We have a lot of young forwards who are years off their best - Sione, Jake and Dan, Brodie Jones, Pasami Saulo, Sam Stone, Jayden Butterfield - even King and Yates.
In the backs, guys like Denniss, Musgrove, Gibbs and Penn all look like they could end up forwards as well.

Our backs let in alot more tries than our forwards last season

So did every other team

 

[Anthony01]

Forwards are a must. Don't get me wrong we need a fullback but still need experienced props

Mamo is 100% gone. i heard also he picked up an injury on holidays in bali.

While i do agree we need forwards im not sure its our priority. I mean unless we can get a world class forward rhen sure. But atm there isnt much off contract and those that are we have to pay massive overs for. And we do already have enough avg firstgraders in the team.
As it stands we probably have the worst backline in NRL with no genuin flb options. So yeah i see that more a priority right now

 

[slotmachine]

Well, we have the worst everything in the NRL

That is true

 

[slotmachine]

Don't disagree the backs are the problem though.

You've got Saifiti x 2, Korbin and Mataora (just) who are of first grade standard to play prop. Paea and Pauli (if fit) too.

For FB and the four outside backs you've only got Gagai, RossDawg and Chanel (maybe).

I disagree.....the fans are cool.:Knights:

 

[Ethan]

1 Kalyn Ponga
2 Ken Sio
3 Joe Wardle
4 Dane Gagai
5 Ross/Chanel
Maybe this could happen by season start ...
