The "Mark My Words" Thread

Tyronne Thompson will join us before the cut off date mid season and get a 10 minute debut just before the finals.

Riley Jones will be moved to a new position during the trials, possibly wing or centre.

Dobson will coach Flegg to a title or at least a GF.

Gagai will announce his retirement but have a very good year to finish.

McDermott will get a head coach deal for the ESL or even the NRL for 2025.

Parr will cut several players who have been training before the season starts.

Someone like Fletcher Myers, Liam Sutton, Jacob Davis, Paul Bryan, Riley Jones or David Armstrong will go great in the trials and get a game early in the season.
 
Happy new year Warriors here. Some comments about our squad this year.

Fonua-Blake to Sharks. But we have him this year, we have some young guys he can help transition into FG. Keep an eye out for Zyon Maiuu, Jacob Laban and Demetric Sifakula. Also Leka Halasima who has just turned 18.

RTS to left Centre. Some talk of Adam Pompey with you guys. Valuable addition on and off field.

Harris-Tavita back, probably Half and logical back up for SJ. However played well for Samoa at Hooker for WC. Great D and good left foot boot.

Jo's Curren and Bailey Sironen gone good performers but loss covered by addition of Capewell.

All in all I think we are stronger this year, can we build on last year?

Yes, you guys are definitely stronger. I think RTS will be just as strong for you defensively as in attack. Johnston the key of course, his playmaking went up a couple of levels last year, kudos to Webster for that. It was a master-class he put on against us last year in the semi. I'd expect Metcalfe to wear the 6 from the outset this year and the side to benefit from that stable halves combo.

Reports are Metcalf is training the house. Poor guy just needs a break injury wise with his glass hamstrings.

2024 Knights Bold Predictions

- Knights finish 5th and make it to the preliminary finals for the first time since 2013 but get beaten by Penrith

- Greg Marzhew Dally M Winger

- Tom Jenkins to take Dom Young's spot and make it his own

- Bradman Best to be our top try scorer

- Kalyn Ponga top points scorer in the NRL but finishes 2nd in the Dally M medal losing to Scott Drinkwater

- Knights win NSW Cup with the likes of Tom Cant, Jaxson Rahme, Fletcher Myers, Liam Sutton, Myles Martin and Krystian Mapalangi all breaking through as potential long term NRL/Knights players and Jack Cogger and Jed Cartwright leading this side as co-captains under Ronnie Griffiths.

- Paul Bryan to debut during the Origin period off the bench and eventually take Jack Hetherington's spot in the 17

- Ponga to once again win the Danny Buderus medal

- Tyson Gamble and Jackson Hastings to be our halves 90% of the season with only Cogger getting a run at some point filling-in

- Jacob Saifiti and Leo Thompson become our clear first choice front rowers both having their career-best seasons yet

- Kai Pearce-Paul to start 2024 slow but become the eventual buy of the season in the second half of the year making the starting back row position his permanently.

- Only Brodie Jones, Ryan Rivett and possibly Mat Croker leave at the end of the season.

- Myles Martin to also debut in the NRL this year

- Bradman Best to start all three games for NSW in Origin

- NRLW succesfully three-peat beating the Roosters in the GF, leaving the latter moan in the Press Conference again. Tamika Upton once again wins the Karen Murphy medal.


(Other Predictions)

- Stephen Crichton to struggle at fullback for the Doggies and moved back to centre in place for Tracey or Taaffe

- South Sydney to implode again leading to Demetriou getting sacked and Latrell questioning if he wants to continue playing NRL or go to the bush.

- Trio of Herbie Farnworth, Thomas Flegler and Jake Averillo to be 3 of the best buys this season at the Dolphins and help them get closer to the 8.

- NSW to lose origin again and Bellamy replaces Madge for 2025 stepping down from head coach role at the Storm and passing it on to Jason Ryles.

- Luke Brooks to have his best year since 2018 in his first season at Manly but won't be enough to play finals footy.

- Raiders to be this year's big sliders, bottom 4 finish for them.

- Broncos win their first Grand Final since 2006 getting revenge on Penrith.

- Su'a Faalogo wins rookie of the year at fullback for the Storm with Papenhuyzen in the 14 role and Meaney moving to the centres.

- Dragons to be the new Tigers and be mentioned on NRL 360 every night during the season.

Part 2 of awful predictions in 2024

- Stephen Crichton to struggle at fullback for the Doggies and moved back to centre in place for Tracey or Taaffe ✅️ (He didn't even play fullback)

- Luke Brooks to have his best year since 2018 in his first season at Manly but won't be enough to play finals footy. ❌️

In all seriousness, the 3 predictions I did get right I was super adamant I'd get right.

Will have to tip us out of the 8 also and deliberately jinx the Knights if we're to have a successful season next year.
