Player Movements / Rumours 2011/2012

Is that confirmed?

Where the bloody hell would they play him? That is Origin cover at best considering the quality of their spine and the quality of their bench hooker in Hinchcliffe I just can't see where he fits???
 
Was announced at their club presentation apparently.

Similar questions Brizz.

Could be depth, sounds like he was desperate to return to Australia, I remember him teasing a run at the Cowboys on Twitter.
 
Finch would just be a depth signing. Hard to see him playing ahead of Widdop
 
Widdop was MOTM in their major semi and I would have had him 3rd or 4th in my Clive Churchill overall. The guy is absolute class and is completely forgotten due to the big 3. Not a chance in hell he would be moved to accomodate Finch let alone dropped.
 
Yeah, agreed. Finch was pretty goddamn underrated back in the day, but I wouldn't replace Widdop with him.
 
The only reason why Melbourne would sign Finch is to cover CC's (Cooper Cronk) during the Origin period. Can't think of any other reason why, never really rated him.
 
Wayne Bennetts attempt to buy the entire St George team he coached is one step closer....

"Wayne Bennett, who once told Justin Poore he wasn’t worth the money he was getting paid, is set to throw the former NSW State of Origin prop an NRL lifeline."

what will that be, about 6 of them?

Darius Boyd
Justin Poore
Jeremy Smith
Beau Scott
Adam Cuthbertson
Alex McKinnon

Well it's true, that's like another club matching Sandow's offer of 550k... LOL. Parra overpay for everyone, who ever they decide to buy is not worth matching.
 
Knights are as bad as the Dogs.

If not more so.

So glad they fell on their ass this year after their fans were crowing the minute they signed Bennett.

Poore is average, 'spose they need some experience though and he was solid before he went to the Eels.

Weren't we disappointed in missing out on him in 2009? LOL

Be a good signing for them. If anyone get him back to his best it's WB given he was the one who cranked him up to Origin standard.
 
Poore is far past his best and Newcastle would probably be dropping a promising up and coming player for him. They paid the price for that dropping crack hooker De Gois for a 34 year old Bedsy. If Bennett can get the best out of him like he did with Mason you never know.

In fairness, McKinnon was a Knights junior heading home before Bennett was signed.

Could throw in Neville Costigan & Chris Houston though.

Wouldn't really say Poore is a rep player as he hasn't played rep footy for 3 years. Out of the so called rep players in the Knights lineup only 3 of them are current to any extent.
