Fmd.Barry Toohey reporting Bradman best is closer to inking an extension with the club after the World Cup.
Where to now,It's really Annyoing now that we still even have hope.Every big signing we miss out on.Its always onto this guy now.Keon,barnet,Galvin,Bradman best and more.We suck and will never land a big fish.So no point in saying let's target this guy now.Just gonna be let down again.

Firstly, settle down. I would rather them extend at their current club than go somewhere other than us. Best staying in Newcastle makes sense as that is where he is from and has his brother there.
Secondly, yeah it is tough as the options become a bit bare. Bostock would be next, though if Herbie is to go to Easts, Bostock will stay at Dolphins. Berry didn't end up going to Melbourne, so Howarth is needed in Melbourne. So perhaps Tago? Blaize before his injury would have definately been an option.
Thirdly, Leniu i would consider a decent fish considering he has played Origin and won 5 comps.
Lastly, it is more likely he stays, though with POS going to Brisbane, could a new HOR stuff things up or go in a new direction? Never know. Their cap is bare, a new HOR could see it and think they need to invest elsewhere.
Again it is frustrating but get a grip. Yeah we more likely missed another target that we publically announced we are chasing. What can you do honestly. Leniu happened so that is a start.
See, this is why we should sign no one.
Because if we the entire queensland 8 in a row team, numpties will still complain about not signing enough.

Anyway, If Best resigns, believe or not, we'll try and sign another player. You might be surprised to learn there are other NRL players.
To be fair Yehaz, and i do somewhat agree with your comment, there is not alot in terms of outside backs. That is the problem. The next best is Bostock and he is odds on to stay. After that you are heading into players where teams are happy to pay for them to play against them. That can work out but also risky.
I understand Roy's disappointment and frustration. That is fair to have as i have it too. But to just say we suck and don't even bother is just ridiculous.
We're most likely to land Matt Burton and Cam Munster.
Go will Munster help us at Centre? Also I doubt Burton comes here to play Centre, hope I'm wrong but don't see it.
Also, what happened to you saying we are useless? Why say we get these two if we are useless?
So there's a chance
Time will tell- Ryles knows what he is doing and will have a list of who he wants. Important the club keeps MoN a step back from all of this...
A few things to be played out before hand.
I don't think Best was ever serious about leaving Newcastle. Especially after how excited he was with his little brother joining the Knights.
I see this morning that the Roosters want to bring Marky Mark back as a fullback after his stint in Japanese Rugby. If that's the case, we should go after Rex Bassingthwaighte as a Centre.
Well there was talk around using us to draw price up. I wonder if though there is a target we want nobody mentioned.
If Easts want Nawaqanitawase at 1 when he comes back, how does that effect Farnworth who would have had a look at being Teddy's replacement. Does he stay at Dolphins? If so then where does that leave Bostock.
Yeah wouldn't surprise me but on the other hand a lot of other people confident he is coming. Their salary cap is on tilt . If we blow them off the park money will talk .The misses will have a lot to say too in the decision. I don't think the knights will go to auction. We need a star outside back desperately with the New CEO never know he might get it over line at least Jim won't be doing any negoations come November 1 that's a positive.
