They love piling it on. He asks what rep player would sign there with us struggling.. Does he mean rep players like Kikau and Mahoney who signed even though we got the spoon?

Again, they never let the facts get in the way of a good rant so they can push their agendas over and over..

fucken lol these journos are clueless, gagai is playing in a shit knights team but still makes the qld team. just because players are out of form at club level doesn't mean they can't play well in an origin game
Plus Wighton, Saifiti, Tino, Frizell, Papalii etc all play for bottom four teams but made it so clearly it has nothing to do with ladder position. Burton was never making Origin. Fox should have...

The thing is JAC isnt out of form? He is an absolute weapon playing in a shit team. Has he ever had a run without beating the foirst 1 or 2 defenders? Is he constantly making line breaks, scoring tries or part of a try assist?

Fittler is just going for a defensive game now that his Boytoy Trbovic is out .

Well, my door is still open but my commitment will need to be in the six-figure region...

Literally sick of all the rubbish that gets said every second day about the club. Journos must sit there with a lucky dip of agendas and stories and pull one out of the hate every week to drive.

And they will keep writing these articles because they get the reaction they want. Look how everyone is so pissed off. Stop posting these threads and stop commenting about them. Simple as that. Did you think knights supporters give a shit if a negative article gets posted about them. We are easy targets and we keep falling for it, it’s easy money for them.

Crawley is such a simple fuk.
Gus is the attraction for players the coach is secondary.

I'm not clicking on the link. Is there an actual point to the article or is it just another turd having a dig at the club?

How far off from the truth is he, though?

Apart from journos loving the taste of blue and white semen, he has a point.

Gone are the days of us buying players and turning them into representatives - now we just sell players to either see them become origin players, or finally realise we are using park footballers in our top 30.

Why aren’t we signing the next Willie Tonga? Or are we, and we just don’t have the coaching capability of bringing the best out of players.

I wish people would stop posting them. Especially when they're just quotes from their shows and most articles repeat the same thing. And people post every one.. It just gives them attention they don't deserve.

At the very least we should have a 360/Fox/DT Superthread so it doesn't flood the forum each day with their bullshit and you can easily avoid reading their rubbish if you want to..

At the end of the day we need to get ourselves out of this hole to stop these rubbish articles.

We need to sort a coach and announce it so players sign with us, we still have space available next year and would be good to get a few decent players.

Broncos had origin players when they were last. Didnt Hayne play while Eels were last? There are players in the bottom 4 in origin every year, including this one. Stupid article.

At least he wasn't replaced by a kid. Tupou has played origin before too. A few of Freddy's picks are sus anyway. Still not sure how Jacob Saifiti gets a nod for example. He's shown nothing this year.
