Opinion King & Knight are an upgrade on TPJ & Thompson

[GoTheDoggies]

This is money ball at its best.

Two massive duds on overs replaced by guys on a fraction of the money with more heart, intensity and commitment. They are both big units with ticker who have overcome injury adversity to play first grade.

Maybe but this is just pure copium by comparing trash with slightly less trash

This is a troll thread at its best surely?

King goes ok but was rubbish last yr tbf. Knight is an out n out plod machine

 

[maroondog72]

We all know we are light on forwards, but the pack we have now will provide a better platform for our backs than the pack we had last year.

 

[Doge]

Value wise it’s an upgrade but it’s still close to the worst front row in the comp

 

[Bad Billy]

King’s not big at all.
they both have high ceilings, but without a genuine forward leader, I worry about this pack.

 

[Cook]

Kikau needs to stay healthy, Mahoney needs help. I’d play Turpin off bench, or someone to give Reed a rest. Then packs not too bad.

King isn't trash. He was playing injured half the year last year.. not saying he's a superstar but he's only young.

 

[Dyldog]

They’ll do better than the overpriced blokes did last year

 

[Flanagun]

WTF? King isn't even a replacement for those guys. He's been here a few years now and was very underwhelming last year. Knight came over mid season too, and while he played pretty well, he's certainly no game changer. We also let go of our most damaging metre eater in Wads. Pack will be much weaker this year than last, no two ways about it. Also, you give King and Knight a wrap for overcoming injury adversity, then write off a guy who faced as much injury adversity as anyone during his time here. Double WTF.

Money ball? More like dummy ball lololol

 

[bradyk]

We have the worst starting front row in the NRL.

 

[D0GMATIC]

King/Knight . . .Our best name combination since Lamb/Currie

 

[CrittaMagic69]

This is dumb ASF. Don't put Kings name anywhere near these players. King has also been here the last two seasons lmao.

 

[cuzza]

Would be playing NSW cup for any other team! King bench forward at best on last years performance.

are we all saying king was playing injured because he played like shit last year? Maybe he wasn’t injured his just a little over rated on here?

I still think Thompson and Pangai better then king and knight if you ignore there salaries.

King is not a 1st tackle prop, he had vaughn doing that for him.
Not overrated but we dont have a big body unless hughes can step up
King will be alot “lighter” this year, expect a good year from him

He played through numerous injuries last season and it's been confirmed by many reliable sources. He only one week off for a fractured sternum, that's it. The club ran him into the ground because he was out only genuine option available all season.

 

[doggieaaron]

King could be a lot better than he played last year has the potential to

You are spot here, how soon we forget …. there was a period of around 10 weeks when TPJ was injured that King was basically carrying the whole team forward on his back.

The whole forum was praising him for his massive efforts every game, but it eventually took its toll and he copped a few bad injuries where if things were different, he’d of had quite a few weeks out, but unfortunately the cupboard was bare and they needed him to play on, of cause his level of play was going to drop.

King epitomises what it means to be a Bulldog, and he’ll be strong again for us this season, anyone saying Waddell played better is talkin crazy talk ..

Waddell played better than previous years and funny enough he gave us his best in his contract year, before that he was terrible … I’m glad they let him go ..
