Cummins got the Cows home in a cripple fight of a game. I will now not complain so much about our two hookers as that 9 for the Knights is Turpin like ordinary in attack. The guy just refuses to take on the line with the ball and his service out of dummy half is just bog average.

He tries his heart out Crossland. He must be an amazing bloke because he's played 40 odd games and has yet to nail down a position.

They desperately need a specialist, but who?

Yous got what you wanted.

He's the perfect example of knights juniors for the last 8yrs or so... talked up deluxe as a star junior coming through, but has barely looked first grade.

Meanwhile other Newcastle products are genuine stars (Cordner, Latrell, etc.)... even Haas was from around there wasn't he??

They just can't seem to hang onto any of the good youth products to build a nucleus from

Crossland best game was when he covered Gambled cat 1 as a 6 but Gamble is a better 6 than him and he is a terrible Hooker, especially in defence.

I feel like Gus should of went to Newcastle more than any other team outside of Warriors, they have the cream of youth talent in NSW and lose them all.

Maybe they should have re-signed Levi, but the decision to let him go was sound. He played five seasons there, 83 games in total and it just wasn't working out. They've been unlucky with Brailey but they should have had a proper under-study. I don't see anything from Rugless to suggest he'll be much better for them.

I don't think Gus has any connection with the Knights. He isn't Merry Poppins, he's obviously got great contacts and ideas but it helps when he has strong relationships at the club and his relationship with the Bulldogs goes back longer than either of us have been alive.

That Crossland game you mentioned was the only time I've seen anything in him. Must be a great bloke and he does try - I'm just shocked with the amount of NRL games he's played.

True but I doubt Gus had any more connections with Warriors then he did with Newcastle.

Haas moved to Qld when he was 12, he is our homegrown player.

Covid really ****ed some long term potential pathways Warriors could have established with him there.

He wasn't there long before COVID virtually shut everything down. If anything, it ended up hurting the Warriors more than anything as he was able to gather intel for his next appointment and he's clued them into some quality NZ talent coming through. Even when he was with the Warriors, I seem to remember him being linked with the Bulldogs and pitching what he would do if he was brought into the club. Almost seemed like an informal interview for the position.

So I'm not sure if his heart would be in it for the Knights like it was with the Panthers and the Bulldogs.

Of course Warriors fans may have a different perspective and recognise the improvements he made.

If that is the case Gus can **** himself, I thought the appointment would of been massive for the game had he stayed there though.

I'm of the view with the right Management top to bottom Warriors should be a powerhouse of the game.

To be fair, I believe it was a consultancy role so he didn't have the responsibilities he has at the Bulldogs. It's a role he's played at various clubs and it hasn't always worked out for them. He was involved with Souths when they were brought back, it took them years to find their footing and they did it without Gus.

The Cowboys brought him in for some consultancy work when they were struggling in 2010. The Cowboys showed him their entire operations and gave him full access to the club. Gus did his review, said thanks but no thanks and described them as a retirement home and not worth his time. Within months he goes to Penrith, guts the playing roster and tries to balance the cap so he can poach JT from the Cowboys.

But you're right, if there was a Newcastle version of Gus, the Knights would be in a better place.

It is basically because all their pathways are linked to the gold mine that is regional NSW, I think Gus role was limited due to covid anyway on that, he was talking about NZ pathways but when the club couldn't even be there all he could do was SEQ poaching(like Walsh).
