"Reported that the Knights have had a change of heart around the future of Jayden Brailey. The club is now hesitating and reluctant to release him from his current deal."
Who should Parra go for next in regards to no. 9?

Not gonna lie, I was never too keen on him. Sure he's better than what we have but he's also very injury prone and not very quick at all, in terms of speed Hands has him beat.
Not fussed we didn't get him, but at the same time getting him wouldn't have been the worst.
At this point I'd sign another 9 like Garlick for a year and try to go hard for either Blake Mozer or Reece Robson. Would love Mozer now but it won't happen.
I think this is going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Brandon Smith is the one. He had a lot of respect for Ryles in a recent podcast chat.
Can play Hooker and Lock. Will transition out of 9 if and when Hands or a younger more capable player breaks through. That might be Coinakis, this new signing Hudson.
Only other player who may be readily available is Dylan Walker who, in my opinion, seems to have matured a lot. Playing off the bench for Webster in NZ on a moderate - high pay packet, whos kids just moved back to Sydney. I think he is ripe for the picking.
"Kautoga showed so much promise and improvement towards the end of the year. He runs a good line, is good in defence, gets through work and posesses an offloard. I just think it is promise from him, plus Ryles seems to be a big fan. But if Tuilagi…"
"It amazes me that there are battlers out there who still purchase this trash. I wonder what percentage of those readers that are left, (not many) fall for the BS contained within, (particularly in the political pages)?"
"Bailey was training with the reserves in a opposed session he is coming back from injury so maybe Samrani is filling in but I thought it was interesting im not opposed to it he would do the grunt work from our end"
"I don't get the obsession over Kitione Kautoga? Nothing special with much errors in his game, I have Williams & Tuilagi infront for both back row positions."

Nicely said. I was open to Brailey but got colder as time went. But could have done worse.
As for Garlick, if you are using him as stop gap, just use Hands I would reckon.
Say Cheese.
And what get him back in Round 20?
He'll be raring to go by then
I'd go after the cheese
Soni Luke
Soni Luke could be a good bargain buy. Played well for Tonga but out of favour at the Panthers.
This ^^^ He's an absolute weapon and needs time to refine his game
