Eels favorites to sign Knights backrower Robbie Rochow.

another player with off-contract back-rower Robbie Rochow seriously weighing up joining Cronulla or Parramatta.On the back of Tariq Sims leaving the Knights to sign a three-year deal worth $1.2 million with St George Illawarra, The Daily Telegraph can reveal Rochow has indicated a desire to depart at season’s end to play in a side that can compete for a title.Newcastle already field the NRL’s most inexperienced side and Rochow’s exit would certainly add to this, especially with veteran forward Jeremy Smith retiring this year.It’s understood the Sharks and Eels are the favourites to snare Rochow’s signature.Despite the interest, the Country Origin representative is yet to receive a formal offer from any club — including the Knights.The Sharks are currently working through the futures of off-contract forwards Chris Heighington, Luke Lewis and Sam Tagataese.Must ReadForecast: Rain, windy and 80,000 rabid NSW fans Blues breather as Loz takes pressure off NSW Blues: Team list and profiles ‘They’re treating it like it’s amateurism’ Dragons win race to sign SimsAll three players want to remain in the NRL beyond this season, but it may not be realistic under the salary cap.Heighington has been linked to finishing his career in England and he refused to rule out this option.Robbie Rochow could be leaving the Knights.

"1. Gutherson
2. Bulldogs
3. Lomax has been recently promoted to my "most hated", because fuck that guy
4. T-bro
5. Not stressed about Ryles contract. If he wants to go he will find a way. I think he plans on staying but you never know. R360…"

"1) I'd rather the Dragons go down. Fuck them and Rod Reddy and their dirty tactics in the 1977 GF with their dirty ref.
2)Storm or Panthers. Both cheating cunts.
3) Jerome Luay. Very punchable.
4)Teancum Brown. If he works hard he'll play rep footy…"

1. Who would you like to see get flogged in Vegas - Gutherson or D. Brown. Or maybe they don't concern you and are only focused on us. For mine its Gutherson, I've never liked him off the park. Sure on the park he gave everything, but his contract…

From what I've seen of him he is tough, reads the game well, defends well and is would slot straight into the eels side

  Yep. 80 minute edge forward with better attack than Scott and better defence than Edwards. Those two can move into the middle with Moeroa, Mannah and Alvaro.
