Well that's a shame.. Good luck to him though

How badly was that secret kept. In the last few weeks we have even had Knights players saying how good it will be to play with him.

Enjoy the cash mate,he might joining Brendan Elliot in reserves,the club have done well as Lachlan Lam will be ready for a bit of first grade next year.

[John Corey]

Wish him well. I think he is a fullback but not at Newcastle with Ponga. If he is gonna play 6 he must have a 7 that can do all the game management, including kicking.

As for Lachlan Lam I admit I have never seen him play but I haven't heard anyone on here say anything positive about him. I think Radley will slot into 14 easily. Defends well, is a good size and can cover so many positions.

So not true.

[King Salvo]

Where he will play will depend on Cronk I suggest - if Cronks plays on the word is it will be at the Sharks who then would release Maloney - Knights and Warriors interesting in Maloney if that happens - If say Maloney signs with the Knights he will want to play 5/8 - the position Watson has been offered although Maloney can play 1/2- Might find himself in a similar position as at the Roosters - bench utility??

Lam is a few years from NRL I suggest but is making good progress only just 19- a 5/8 which might be an issue when he is NRL ready if Keary still here. Like Watson may have to go elsewhere for a starting role.

[4 the all in brawl]

If Maloney goes to Knights for a million a season he will be half and Watson 5/8 and Lamb in reggies. Maloney for getting a million a season will have take on the responsibility that goes with the pay and be the senior playmaker and that means he will play at 7.

[Team Evil]

Maloney is more of a running 5/8. With Watson going to Newcastle then I think Maloney best option would be Souths.

Another NRL team loading up on ex Roosters. Knights 2018 roster will feature:

Brendan Elliott
SKD
Tau Tau Moga
Guerra
Watson
maybe Maloney

[Mickie Lane]

I reckon Newcastle should play him at FB & maybe move Ponga into the halves.
I really like Connor Watson & I hope he plays FG for at least the next 10 years. I believe he is a champion player & its a pity the Roosters couldnt keep him.

Will be interesting to see what they do if they sign Maloney.

They have a couple of extremely promising young halves who would instantly fall down the pecking order.

Who is extremely promising? Lamb looks the goods but feeney is just awful. Not a first grader at all. If they sign maloney, which they won't, I think lamb could make it as a lock.

Cogger and Lamb are both promising.

Cogger and Lamb are both promising.

I actually grew up running around playing with both the cogger kids in their backyard. Good kids. Still a few years away from first grade. Can't see how maloney being there would hinder his future.
