Surely 29 is not right. It was his last contract in league.
I agree we shouldn't sign Frizzell though, and id love Edwards to cement the lock position.
It is right. He was born Jan 1970 & debuted for us March 1999. Thus he was 29.

Like the Aussie Test Cricket players....they seem to be stretching out their careers :grinning:

If I’m signing a forward thats a possible option from Newcastle, its Daniel Saifiti. Frizell would be good as a lock/prop but I really want to persist with Edwards there for the rest of the year then make a call. Get Saifiti tho if he’s available

Frizell has been good for Knight this year but in regards to us he isn't a lock and isn't suited to that role (ball playing or metres). He's an out and out old school tough and aggressive second rower who's high on effort areas. Lost his pace from his prime Dragon days. With Kiks and Preston I doubt we'd be going there. We also need much better than D. Saifiti and unless you could get him for 1-2 years on the cheap (which is unlikely) we shouldn't be going anywhere near him either.

Frizell would play middle
Yeah let's waste over 500k a season on a 32 year old edge backrower to play in the middle. That's how you win premierships............................

If he leaves Newcastle he will go to Roosters 1000 percent. Angus is cooked, Butcher brothers are average and Sitilli can't defend.

The kennel isn't the only place on the planet where people talk footy. Maybe you should get out more.
The majority of ex players predicted teams didn't have Frizell & most people on twitter were shocked.

Haumole Olakau'atu, Daniel Saifiti, David Klemmer, Stefano Utoikamanu, Max King & Jacob Preston are all better right now than Tyson Frizell. Cameron Murray should be starting for Frizell with 1 of them on the bench.

Less than 5% of your cap on a quality, experienced forward isn't too bad . . . Forwards win matches
Yeah Frizell has been winning plenty of matches for the Knights. He's the reason they always make the top 4 & why they're in the gf every year.........

There is a reason he is playing origin, you don't need to be top 4 to be quality . . . We have 2 reps.
Frizell has been selected over a bunch of previously mentioned players . . .for a reason

By the same coach who last year picked Daniel Tupou over JAC.

So by your reasoning Tupou must be better than JAC. We should ask the Roosters for a trade.
