From Barry Toohey (Newcastle jurno who's been on this from the start)
I’m hearing the Lachie Miller deal to the Knights for three years is finally done. There is strong mail he will be traded for Knights’ NSW Under 19’s prop Max Bradbury.
Most of the knights fans are dirty on this if it’s true, they rate him, apparently played U19’s SOO and they think he will be a starSounds like a WIN for us
Can't say I know anything about him but sounds very promising.Most of the knights fans are dirty on this if it’s true, they rate him, apparently played U19’s SOO and they think he will be a star
Yeah lot of that around isn’t thereMost of the knights fans are dirty on this if it’s true, they rate him, apparently played U19’s SOO and they think he will be a star
They see another promising junior walk away for not a lot in return... but plenty of water to go under that bridge. Wouldn't be the first kid kill it at u19 level and never be heard from again.Yeah some of the Knights fans are just being silly he's an u19 he's not going to be in first grade any time soon and instead they get an actual useful player that will destroy the other teams at the bottom of the ladder.
It's a huge win-win.
Obv it would be different if it was some ******** player but Lachie is likeable and fun to watch.

Unless it's a sealed deal I'm worried that the backlash from Knights fans might put Newcastle management off the idea.
Ponga will be more up for the physicality of it now, although his head may not beDidn’t Browny try Ponga at 6 and admitted it didn’t work out considering defensive workload ?
I know time has passed - and it’s a different coach but the jury would surely still be out on Ponga as a 6 …
coach knows he needs results soon or he’ll be gone. He can’t afford to hold a prospect at the expensive of getting a piece he needs for right nowUnless it's a sealed deal I'm worried that the backlash from Knights fans might put Newcastle management off the idea.
That’s what a lot of it seems to be coming down too I think.coach knows he needs results soon or he’ll be gone. He can’t afford to hold a prospect at the expensive of getting a piece he needs for right now
