If O'neill can land most of this team, he'll be known as the next Frank Ponessi
1. Iongi
2. Jenkins
3. Xerri
4. Tago - most likely signing
5. Fox
6. Purdue
7. Moses
8. Sam Tuivaiti. Extension now
9. Smith
10 ???
11 Jaydn Sua signed
12. Kit kat - jury's out
13 Williams
14. Walker
15. ????
16 ????
17 Teancum Brown
18. Moretti
19 Apa Twidle
Please fill in the blanks
Also, can anyone see Lorenzo Talititiana being a future first grader? He's very small to be playing in the front line. I cant see it unless He's a superstar in attack.

That with maybe someone like Petrus pushing for a start. That is a pretty good line-up.
Do you really rate Lorenzo Talititiana. He looks like a spot player in defence. Looks very small for a front line player
I'd have thought Joash would be an easy target too but I thought he defended really well last year. Attitude and desire goes a long way in defence. I reckon Ryles made a mistake letting Pezet walk in over Joash
Dob't know why we got pezet man. All we needed was a winger, or a prop not some loan player.
Agree probably because the administration and coaching staff have zero idea
We should have went with Sandon Smith, at least he was first-grade ready and still would have been cheaper than Pezet. Smith is killing it for the Knights right now and we're getting our pants pulled down with both Pezet and Volkman, while taking a punt on Lorenzo who we really have no idea if he's ever going to have an impact in first grade.
This is one we got wrong for sure.
Remember we only offered him 1 year as well. But is he killing it? He's playing alright but if Ponga was playing Smith would be 14. That's just fact. His defence also has been a bit suspect.
Knights are winning without Ponga and Brown in the Halves... They're averaging 25+ pts a game and have only have 20+ put on them once. Plus, his goal kicking is pretty steady and better than Moses' shitshow at the moment.
While it's obviously a cumulative effort for the Knights, I'd say his form in defence and attack is killing it.
I reckon the Knights will start struggling when Ponga returns. They will become the Ponga show once again. All ball will go to him and they'll start moving away from the collective way they have been playing.
Sandon was a better option not because I think he's a better player than Pezet but he compliments Moses much better.
