NRL Player Movement and Rumours 2018

[Huge]

SKD to the Knights is official.

Mmm, maybe getting out of Sydney and into a more community minded city like Newcastle will be good for him. The knights look to have genuinely started a solid rebuild with a team that knows it can compete for the bulk of a game. Future looks brighter with some of the new signings especially if they grasp the nettle. SKD may see it as a leadership role...hope so anyway, love redemption stories

 

[Sproj]

The Knights are my second team, I want them to do well.

 

[Alec]

I'd like to see Roosters lose some players they actually want to keep for once. Matterson, SST, Manu, Mitchell or Cordner or something

They were my 2nd team for a while, because Joey was my 2nd favourite player to watch growing up (Behind Locky, duh), kind of stopped caring about them after he retired and turned in to a flog. With that being said, I still like them as a team, hope they do well next season, they're gradually building a decent little core group.

League needs Newcastle to do well because it is a stronghold for the code. I was born there though and still have family there so have a strong attachment to the area.

Yep, if that region lost interest in RL, the sport would be finished. My wife and I love visiting Newcastle.

 

[tommy]

Even as wooden spooners they get better crowds than Sydney. Knights should be fine.

As a born and bred Novocastrian, I can tell you now that Newy is the absolute definition of a rugby league town.

Just look at the way the supporters have continued to turn up for home games, despite the Knights being the shittest team in the comp, and a rabble of an organisation.

The fans deserve so much better than what they've had to put up with for the past decade.

Between them? Nowhere near enough.

Throw in Moga and Ese'ese as well. So they just need a 7.

 

[Super Freak]

Luke Yates will feature in there somewhere.

It's starting to look like a mid tier team..Cooper Cronk would help hey !

 

[Sproj]

They should throw the checkbook at Cronk next year and just say, you write a figure and let's get this done. They can easily argue that there is no definitive cap and so they just did what they could. Throw Cronk in that side and it looks promising, even if he is just there for one year.

 

[holdzy]

It would be difficult for Cronk to coach the Melbourne halves and play for the Knights next year.

 

[john1420]

IIRC, Melbourne's offer is for him to coach the halves when he retires, so he can play for a year in Sydney and then coach

 

[Fozz]

Gordon going around for another year at the Roosters.
