I wouldnt wish getting Brian Smith and a bunch on St George rejects on anybody, not even Easts.
I have to admit Newcastle played very well this year, but if it weren't for Kurt Gidley and Buderus, I think the Knights would have been in 12-13th spot, and I expect that kind of result next year, without the extra 10% Buderus gives them,they won't be winning those tight games.

Was not aware of the Tigers juniors, but the Tigers, Panthers, Eels and St George have a big job ahead of them to keep most of their juniors now, since Easts have decided to not field SG Ball or other junior teams, to save money. Funny how the team that rorts the salary cap the most has to drop their juniors (that were almost all stolen anyway). More of a reason to make any under 21 player poached from another junior area worth 125% of their salary, make the clubs doing nothing for junior footy pay through the nose for it.
