PONGA switch to halves as Knights chase GARRICK

[madmax]

Garrick is probably in the top 3 wingers. Can kick and could get a fullback gig at around half of the NRL clubs. You people vastly underrate him.

Mate just ignore the dribblers in here who have no fu<king idea lolol.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Didn't @Gosford Sea Eagle call this earlier?

That’s Gosford Knight (aka GK) to you.

 

[Disco]

If Garrick gets offered fullback money when his contract ends then so be it but we should have some backbone and hold him to 2023.

In regards to Best, I still think there is plenty of talent there....the big issue is he is injured as much as Tommy. That said if we could get him and if Harper or Parker where able to get an opportunity elsewhere then Id be happy to take that punt.

 

[ricardo]

I'd lay money on the fact that Phil Rothfield read it here as well…

Plot twist - GK is Garrick's agent drumming up interest!! Haha

 

[Waz13]

Garrick is dreaming.

He is a solid first grade winger

He’s worth what someone is willing to pay him. I have said before with some of the other fbs going around Reubs (fully fit) can value add in that position, plus he kicks goals.

Well if he read it here, just wait till he gets hold of the comments about the guys wanting a release!

I would say the Knights are the only team that are more "on the nose" than us.

Piss off DCE and Garrick and sign Hynes

 

[Chip and Chase]

Garrick is an admirable fill in fullback but I don't think he has the ball skills to be a full time fullback at NRL level. Not on "fullback" money anyway.

As far as us acquiring Best ? When he first came onto the scene he looked like he might be a star, but injuries have plagued him and he hasn't really set the world on fire. I'm not sure there is a massive upside to what we currently see, but who knows what he can produce if he gets a good run without injury.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Contracts should be contracts , he’ll stay for 2023, and possibly then go to market for 2024.

That’s footy !!

After watching the tigpies last night I think they've slipped in front of us

 

[eagleron]

That's two more than us

 

[Nordburg]

Manly get a gun back that’s better than those two next year,for 6-8 games

 

[MadMarcus]

They have signed two guns for next year.

Yes, Smith and Wesson.

Give me Api and Papalii any day.

They have picked up the best two players on the market.

ABC grandstand mentioned it a few times on todays broadcast.

A few knights fans texted in with mixed opinions.

There’s plenty of talk around social media that it’s just about a done deal.Whilst he’s improved,he’s no match winner at 1.He’s the fullback when your top3 in the comp fullback is out injured.I wonder if it’s a swap with Bradman Best?

 

[court83]

We will miss his goal kicking.. that’s about it..
He’s a solid winger, and a decent substitute fullback when needed.. but he ain’t a full time fullback..
Even last year, when they like to rabbit on about his record points , tommy set up more than half of his tries.. take Tom out and garricks try’s drop from 22 to around 10 a season

 

[rj90]

Garrick is pretty underrated. He’s been carrying an injury for a while and playing out of position, so hard to judge his current form. If he does go, we will miss him. He’s a better winger than Saab. Saab only has speed going for him, and even then he needs to be in open space to reach his potential.
