If we are going like for like then go after Walker if he apparently wants to come back to Australia

Would look good in maroon and white 🦅
Knights forward weighing up bombshell contract call
He could test the free market from November 1.
Newcastle Knights forward Leo Thompsonis reportedly weighing up testing the open market from November 1.
The young gun, who can play at either lock or prop, has been one of the bright spots for the Knights ever since he debuted, and has been in fine form again throughout the 2024 campaign despite the club's overall struggles.
They are struggles which could cost Adam O'Brien his job, or at the very least, force him into a position where he will be coaching for it next season.
And the issues at the Knights aren't about to go anywhere.
It's well known the club have big salary cap issues, with Daniel Saifiti being given the tap on the shoulder mid-season.
The former New South Wales State of Origin prop was originally linked with the St George Illawarra Dragons, but now it appears he will sign with the Dolphins for the 2025 season and beyond, with the Knights chipping in a portion of his salary

Agree, mate. Thompson is a gun, and I'd have him at Manly in a heartbeat if we could swing it.
Too good for us. Not a reject needing a nrl lifeline and not a isaac moses client.

Couldn't find the "Sadly agree" emoji. But yeah, while it would be great to grab him, the odds are not good.
People still bag the club for signing players from the Tigers while ignoring Penrith doing the same
Can’t say I’m thrilled about it, he is a player that is full of passion which is great, but is prone to brain explosions and poor handling. Last season for the Warriors, he and Walker were very good off the bench
He definitely can have something to offer, good body shape for the current forward and is very willing, so if we can sort out those rough edges above, we could have something good on our hands, but I struggle to see it
We don’t want him filling in at hooker, very ordinary there
He should fit right in then.

Do we think there's enough or anything left in the shoebox for Ryan Matterson to Man?

Bencher
We do have a hooker……Siebold has dropped him?

Bencher
Maybe both have lost interest after moving to the Dragons? Maybe both wanted to stay?
Hope not.
So much for all the clamor about losing these two, especially Fifita. Looks like we made good call.

I’m not going to write off Fifita just yet,but given the clubs situation and the likelihood his manager would have been looking for an upgrade,I believe the right decision was made
