Your Knights 2012 Player Wish-list

Give it to Kurt!
Hopefully this is the right area to post this:

Ok, Tinkler has the reigns. Hooray!
Now, excluding Snowden and Idris, who could be likely to sign now, who else do u want to see in Knights colours in 2012?

To make it a bit more interesting, who would u like to see paid out for the remainder of their tenure?
 
Apparently Tilse is another one of Tinkler's targets for 2012 according to an article i read a few days ago. Wouldn't mind him tbh.
 
the knights wont be getting too many players , 1 the coach 2 salary cap will be the concern



Tinkler himself wont be the draw card

The salary cap isnt going to be raised, and if the knights dont get Bennett, its unlikely players will come until the knights show they are a competitive team

Braith Anasta and Greg Bird are both favourites of mine, both would be breaking the bank a bit though. Only way I would like to see Anasta at the club is if he is playing 5/8th, he just dosen't have the workrate to play in the backrow.

The thread seems a bit pointless, apart from Snowden and MAYBE Idris, all other signings are all highly unlikely, because we do have a salary cap you know! :lol:

Anasta already resigned with the Roosters NF.

All we need is Idris and Snowden and 1 more decent prop and we are set.
 
if I was Tinkler I would buy Paul Gallen and never play him just to make Phil Rothfeild angry . Lucky I'm not Nathan Tinkler :lol:
 
Snowden, and that is about all we don't need wholesale changes just a really good front rower.

Money talks and one thing Tinkler can do legally is have huge third party agreements for players. Corperate sponsors will jump on board.

And it's the things bought off the field like the centre of excellence, better training facilities that will also attract players.

Not to mention we have started the season well.

As I said earlier, the Knights don't use their salary cap to the full advantage other clubs do. Basically because of our financial state.

That's now over. Tinkler could attract David Beckham in 6 weeks. He can attract anyone he likes to Newcastle.

(Obviously lesser money though!)
 
How the hell are we going to afford Bird, Tilse, Idris & Snowden, seriously. :lol: Even with 3rd party agreements it'd be amazing if we somehow were able to get all 4. Pretty sure Bird is out of the question though, he said that if he was to leave the Titans it would be for a 400k+ contract. Don't think we could get a deal like that going when we're set on chasing Idris & Snowden.

That list also mentions Walsh, Boyd & Sutton as potential targets. The article isn't what Tinkler wants but who the paper thinks we may target.
 
P.S. why would Walsh come back? we have Mullen and Henry, and Boyd is apparently going to play 5/8.

Tilse, Snowden, Idris. I would be estatic with those three. They fill needs. The others dont.
 
Seems that newspaper reporting has gone down hill over the last few day. With all the false claims, and uncomfirmed reports that are they say is comfirmed but really isnt. Or is it just me? Or is it just me?

Anyway that list isnt what Tinkler wants, what they think we will go after. Sutton, Walsh and Boyd have never been mentioned before so its safe to presume they arnt actually targets.

Plus those who are saying that we only need Tilse, Snowden and Idrs cos the rest of the positions are filled, keep in mind, Tinkler wants to return the club to a strong local club with local players, and a lot of non local players could be facing non re signing or encouraged to take an early end to there contract to make room in the cap.
