I thought Gildart had signed for Redcliffe for 2023? I guess it depends if he really thinks he can make it in the NRL. Its interesting how some Brits make bad choices when joining Aussie teams - Wests was a disastrous team to join, and Ryan Hall picked the wrong side in the Roosters as well. I'm not sure the two young lads supposedly joining Newcastle (Pryce and Pearce-Paul?) have made the right choice, as the Knights are teetering on the edge of disaster as well.

Replacing Sutcliffe I’d be happy with this to be fair. Use the quota spot elsewhere rather than MacDonald.

Got a mate who's in the know at the Giants who reckons we're not in for Leutele anymore as we're pursuing Gildart!
Guess we'll see....

Dom Young is certainly making an impact at the knights.

Young's done very well but he's a wing (although to be fair he looks far more comfortable than Ryan Hall did). Pryce will find it hard wherever he goes, but they've fried far more experienced halfbacks.

Please no to Gildart. Would be terrible signing. Macdonald much better option or Esan Marsters as dream signing….

Marsters was quality when he first came through, a real hand full, but seems to have fallen off a cliff his last couple of stops, granted that was the cowboys when they were at their worst and then the Titans

Mass exodus confirmed at Wire, I’d only take a punt on Mulhern out of those leaving though.

Maybe Luettele is not going to Leigh so the McDonald deal has fallen through? Leigh need to get plenty off their overseas cap and I cant see Luetelle going to Leigh like French they will just use Leigh as a bargaining tool to get the wages up ?

Apparently mulhern turned down a contract offer from Warrington.

Why would Gildart be a terrible signing?

He can’t defend
