Votano is no loss. He's exhibiting very few of the physical characteristics required of an emerging outside back/fullback - can't burn you with speed, isn't agile enough to step inside or outside, doesnt break tackles. He survives on his pedigree as a junior imo.

What games are you watching man? He's getting better and better playing against men every week. There was a match about a month ago where three times he got the ball on the left and completely burned his opposite for pace in the space of ten minutes. He's doing some exceptional stuff defensively for a young fullback. This kid will have a long nrl career.

I don’t even think he is watching the right brother 🙈

He thinks Connor is going but it’s actually Cooper.

We’re already tracking quite well with setting up our junior ranks and providing great pathways from U/15’s. Already signed players long term like Latu, Hopwood, Morgan Carter, Rico Elers, Ty Ennis and Chase Butler to long term deals. So it’s not as dyer as people think about having local as the make up of the team.

That area we are at least a few years into to doing the right thing.

I agree. This year we have had McKewn, Esl and Hunt debut who look up for it. Sharpe only debuted last year. We have Hopwood, Votano, Aaoke, De Courcey and Manuleleua who will be pushing in the next year or two in nsw cup. That's a pretty fair nucleus already, and a much better production line then we've had in ages

I could be wrong but I don’t think it will matter. I think still Pezet stays there.

Have you seen that piece on YouTube about his injury recovery. To me, the club don’t go that effort for just some reserve grade player who could leave next year.

Maybe, they won’t re-sign Munster. Whatever happens, I think Pezet stays there and if he does leave, I’d be shocked if he came here.

Joey (or the person that writes for Joey) put a good piece together in SMH on our rebuild.

Ponga won’t win Newcastle a title, so let him leave. This 20-year rot is the real issue

Putting it politely, Newcastle’s roster is a complete mess. Kalyn Ponga and Adam O’Brien can’t solve it, because the problems run so much deeper at my club.

What the hell is Johns on about? Junior pathways need to be blown up?

I’m happy to be critical of the Knights but at least make sense. The pathways are actually finally showing some real results. 9 of the players in the team this week are juniors and that doesn’t include Sharpe or Lucas. There’s also another handful that aren’t far off.

Also, he’s got a short memory. It was Johns who threw Pezet under the bus publicly when the club fired Nathan Brown. Why I don’t know. Brown had to be fired, and they didn’t n ed Pezet to be a scapegoat since it was the right thing to do.

Totally, he was sadly never properly replaced.

I remember our late season game to make the finals in 2021 vs the Titans, he pretty much carried us to a one point win and into eighth spot by himself.

Ponga was really good in that game too but yeah in tight low scoring grinds he’d become a really good guy to have by the end of his career Pearce.

He always wanted the ball in his hand and would live or die with the result.
 
Do people actually still listen to Joey he knows zip.

I laughed when he was bagging AOB for not using Pryce talking about how great he is and the swagger and all that and how he was doing good in cup than when he made his debut, he was lining up a goal kick and he said he never saw him kick before despite him kicking in cup.

Great player, moron commentator.

Literally the last guy I listen to or even take seriously unless he is talking about actual halfback gameplay.

Says he met with Gardener and there is no exit strategy in place.

Well ole mates and Parr aren't doing there jobs.

This crap he deserves to start next year is garbage if he doesn't have a STRONG finish he needs to go at the end of the year.

I do believe that he deserves to to see the year out and if we are 10th or below 50/50 if he stays, bottom 6 definitely gone.
