Newcastle Knights

Yeah.

Certainly quite clever from the Knights' point of view.

So anyway, this is where there's going to be a problem in the game.

The NRL has come out and stated that Hudson Young's value is 1.1. Papua New Guinea said, well, we're not going to go to 1.1. We're not even going to offer him 900 if it's 1.1 on our cap.

Filled in at stages in the centres, in the outside backs.

The Knights moved on from Dane Gagai.

It looks like they want to give more time to Fletcher Hunt, potentially Fletcher Sharp plays in the centres.

But Fletcher Hunt,

Absolutely.

But can the

Knights afford the pay rise?

With the money that they're looking to throw at another guy I'm sure we're going to talk about, I don't know if they can.

I think Hudson's about to learn his real value now because he's putting himself back on the open market.

So is it the Chiefs at 900? Do the Chiefs come back down now?

Yeah, they'll be able to get him for that 9950 mark that they were at.

Wouldn't he still be the 1.1 value? No, they've already said the NRL that they were softening on that stance.

Hey, now we've seen two performances at lock for Francis Manu Leleua.

Are you going to say he could be the Knights' lock next year? Are you starting to feel more confident in that? I'll

know more after this weekend and maybe a semi and a final.

His ball

With the number of those forwards that I've been talking about, you might have to meet the contract demands of a Bradman best.

This might be a bit of, okay, well, we need to free up.

an extra 200,000, 250,000 from somewhere, and that's where one of these players unfortunately get maybe advanced talks by the Knights and saying, look, you're not in our first 17.

We need you to understand that.

All right, guys, that's been the Cowboys review.

We've got the Newcastle Knights up next, one of the more interesting teams this year, so stay tuned for that.

Got to come for that.

Stay blessed.

His first year sounds crazy to say, basically.

And he came in on the edge for the Newcastle Knights.

We all know how that's played out.

He has been remarkable, one of the form-back roles of the competition this year.

Hampo, you're the Knights fan here.

Now, this leans more towards the Knights' future because you've got Manu Lele Lua, you've got Dylan Lucas, and you've got McEwen, all gun edgeback rowers who should be starting for most teams, actually all teams in their role.

They'll get starting spots, in my opinion.

You've got three of the bastards.

It's just stupid.

What he's done this year, like to come through the Knights, wasn't he in the starting team for Newcastle this year and now he's like in a starting Knights team.

He wouldn't even consider a Knights team without him starting there now.

Now he's starting at Lough for Samoa and he's just killing it, just reigning it.

It's so good.

So we extended together.

And the next week we ended up versus Newcastle Knights.

I think I'd, I don't know, I ended up killing this game and I had so many tackle breaks and just scoring tries and I killed it.

This was one of my favorite games I look back at at Leichhardt and it was like the game that fucking cemented who I was.
