RE: Kite to stay Im twixed, on Kite & King. Still trying to decide on the off season & what we need to do to next year. Difficult decisions ahead re the forwards so pretty glad im not a coach tho.
RE: Kite to stay Um, it would only affect us if he leaves :huh:. Provide a source that states Kite said 'no' to the Tigers.
If Kite stays who will have to go so we can keep Brett(Snake).I thought we had to get "rid"of a few players as we are over the cap for next year and can't register Snake until we are under the cap. So what happens next? And who goes?
I don't know. The roster desperately needs some new blood. Kite was good for the second half of this year possibly cos his contract was up for renewal but has otherwise had long periods of being relatively average (by his standards). Throw King into the mix and i dont see how we can be competitive in the prop area. King imo is well and truly past it.
I agree Ceagle. His experience will be invaluable to the younger guys coming through. Remember props don't play their best footy till mid to late 20's generally.
I think Kitey is an exceptional forward. His involvement in passes is a direct result of Toove's instructions and in some ways is a copy of the Doggie's style of play. His tackles can be huge and nullifies attacks. I am just unwilling to see him in another NRL club's colours. He is integral to our achievements for at least the next year.
I know this snippet appeared in another thread but I really hope it is true: "Last year's premiers are under salary cap pressure and will need to offload at least one player. There has been widespread speculation that Brent Kite could move on, particularly after Wests Tigers expressed interest. However, the former NSW and Australian prop is now likely to stay put. ''There's a 99.9 per cent chance he will stay,'' said Kite's manager Daryl Mather." smh
