A real board with balls would have got Ramien for Klemmer swap

But no we are pussies
Why would Knights have given up a player they had just chased and signed?

Time to look at the ESL for some quality cheap buys..
For mid this year or next year the dogs badly need to look to sign 2 team / club leadership players while our lower grade players are maturing.
I am sure this happened when the dogs last lost a lot of senior players.
It was when Lamb was playing and the dogs signed an experienced second rower from the tigers.( Mc someone). It worked well then.
Who they would be I can only guess.

We gave up Woods who we chased with massive amounts of cash after just 14 games, we even payed for the pleasure and recieved no one in return.


Then again Newcastle isn't run by a bunch of drooling retards

I doubt Ramien was even an option especially seeing he went to Newcastle for his daughter
I didn’t know that he went up there for his daughter...fair enough

I would have taken SKD anyone just show we didn’t let Klemmer go to strengthen Knights and weaken an already weakened Dogs

I like Ese Ese.. He was very good at Brisbane and better last year at Newcastle. It's crazy that he can't crack their lineup.

Too bad our club doesn't have the foresight to sign talent from England.. Bateman could have been had and he looks to be a genuine top line talent.

Canberra also recruited Charnze who we could have had over Meaney..

Pay and this board had no cap space and they sure had limitations, but they also have not made good use at all of the cap space they created by releasing all of our best players...

So it doesn't matter who we suggest they sign if they keep making mistakes and signing guys few clubs were after.

We should have utilised Graham's knowledge of esl players while he was around. We've been sleeping while a team like the Faders are buying up the UK national team, their two best players this year thus far are Bateman and Hodgson

Mc.....Guire as in Bruce McGuire and yep I agree, a couple journeymen with experience and leadership qualities is what need to help us through this dodgy time...

Like Sue but a tad better....

Knights don't have a cap problem and need to release players. At least Woods played for us after being signed. Ramien hadn't played a game for knights yet. Never heard of a player being released without playing a game for the new club

If Panthers arent going to play Kade Ellis in first grade maybe we should throw him an offer. He is a dubbo boy after all, something in common with our coach...

Don't see how it's relevant in this conversation. He was sacked.we were talking about a team releasing a player they just signed, before he played a game, and who didnt do anything wrong and get sacked ok. Hth
