He would have weighed all that up against the Eels money
@BarryToohey how will Bradman feel if he goes to the eels then plays at McDonald Jones and gets booed? It will happen. Plus he has more chance of winning a premiership here than at the eels.
Hunt should be a priority if Bradman goes but he’ll be in demand as well. Plenty of social media whispers about Latrell but no idea if they are credible Duggo and have my doubts
Don’t disagree. Probably shows how unhappy he was with the process John. Lot of talk around now that the Knights won’t come up with the money to keep him.
Every chance if the Knights haven’t put restrictions on him poaching players
The Broncos are going to be on the hunt for a backrower or two, especially with Riki likely to leave. Do you think Sully will try to recruit any Knights backrowers?
@BarryToohey
If the Eels go really big with their offer, it’s possible but I still think Bradman wants to stay a Knight
No question the Knights will need an answer one way or another on their current offer pretty soon
@BarryToohey hey Baz, Bradman’s comments on O’Sullivan probably didn’t surprise me. It’s the role of a Recruitment Manager to move players on, create salary ceilings in positions. I imagine many plays don’t get what they want under a prudent RM.
Were you surprised by Bradman?
In the end, Bradman refused to deal with Sully and put talks on hold so what he said publicly didn’t come as a surprise. The cap is a financial balancing act. Signing Niukore for $600k plus for 3 years was a big mistake. Could have kept Frizell for less than half the money.

The Knights will lose a few players they would love to keep over the next few years
@BarryToohey frank and Jermaine need to become number one priorities to extend before November 1 next season, the wolves will be at the door for both of them. With the cap going up in 2028. How much room do we realistically have to upgrade them if we sign Bradman to his deal?
He has just re-signed for three more years Jake and got the third year at the insistence of the coach to prevent him from signing with the Cowboys.
Heard he signed with West Rosellas Shane
@BarryToohey Hi Barry I read last week the knights sign young Broden Konz from the bulldogs he has played around 30 cup games and it was his first year out of Fleeg do you know much about him?
