Anyone/ "Someone with a cooler head".....don't make judgements about things you don't understand!
Don't let the children select the "class captain" popularity is the worst judge! If you feel too young and inexperienced to make that decision ask someone who is a bit older and experienced.....LOL
Just remember that getting old doesn't make you "wise" just "wiser" than you were!
You keep going back to my age and job instead of the actual point, and you seem to comment on everything I say. If experience is meant to make you wiser, it should show in consistency and I’ve already pointed out where that’s lacking. I’m just discussing footy, nothing more. Maybe ‘wiser’ just means better at avoiding the question, which you did Sunday night
Right and claim what I do is school yard rubbish.
Pops, cut it out with LB or you can join half our squad on the sidelines for at least this week.
Is LB Brissyeel ?
I'm sensing a Brissyeel Bowler Account going on here.
How could the Knights have any cap left?? Niukore is currently on $775k and whilst you'd think he'd take a cut he'd still be on good money. Ponga will be asking for $1.5m, DB is on $1.3m. Bradman Best and Saifiti would be on $700k+. Fletcher Sharpe will have to get an upgrade then throw in sandon smith, Dom young, Dylan Lucas,Crossland etc
The writing is on the wall for Frizzelle, Gagai and possibly Marzhew to be shown the door at the end of this year but even allowing for that they are very top heavy with salaries
Precisely. Marzhew is off contract for 2027 apparently.
Agree, Alfie.
The Knights, and particualry Sharpe & Lucas could become really good opportunities if Ponga stays.
There is no way they can afford to upgrade both Sharpe & Lucas to what they will demand?
Holbrook might let Ponga walk, Sharpe to fullback & go after a 7.
The Knights under Holbrook could be the next team to really make a move if they can purchase a 7, imo.
Might be tricky to get players out of there but $$ talks as we know.
