Earlier tiday I heard Jamie Soward talk about a potential 3 team trade that would see the Knights give the Tigers Paul-Pearce
That would be a good get for them, they need second rowers. Could end up involving multiple teams? Have seen panthers have enquired about the availability of Tyson Frizzell

Moments ago a minor low level player swap was announved
Mason Teague from Dolphins to Knights from Dolphins and Knights have sent the other way sebastian Sua
Teague is a lock with less than 10 NRL games and Sua is a prop with 20 appearances last year.

I read this as Knights given them more back row depth to facilitate dealing off someone like KPP.
 
That is actually pretty smart from the NRL. It would be pretty awful to introduce a team that gets smoked by 50+ every week, which is is pretty likely. It would also expose the political motivations for bringing in a club, not based on what they can do footy-wise.
At the cost of developing our own? No thanks!

If you can't be ready then what the fuck are you doing here in the first place!

How about we give you Ed Kosi and Freddy lussick when your ready?
 
Lachlan Galvin been receiving threats like you never know who’s watching and rubbish like that. Pretty sad that fans get so hung up over shit like this. Surely the father has been involved in how this has played out because if it’s all the managers doing, you’d think the parents would be pretty upset with how he’s been used as a pawn here

That’s rubbish hey. It is footy at the end of the day.

Doesn’t help when senior players are dumping on him on their own IG bubbles, even the threats are in the bubble, everyone is a pussy when they show their faces lol
 
Here is an opinion piece from The Roar around a need to reshape player transfer window.
I couldn’t agree more.
Further to this I would like to see a March 31st period to confirm each top 30 squad and any need to reinforce the top squad needs to be filled internally from youth systems until the following season.
The thoughts of a 2 week trade window is interesting but would need to happen no later than the midway point of the comp so not to unintentionally allow finals bound teams to reinforce from teams outside of the running.
