Gidley needs to play fullback, when he was permanently moved there at the start of 07 till plagued by injury at the end of 11′ he was one of the NRL’s and most certainly the knights consistent performers. This will probably be his last year in the NRL as I’ve heard murmurs of him having talks with his brother (CEO Matt Gidley) and Rick Stone about his future.
So on from that, the younger guys can and will benefit from having him around the club, and just need to bide their time until a first grade opportunity arises in the side. There is no rush and they will be better for it.
McManus has been solid for years now but lacks flair, however has always been a good defender and good under the high ball.
Uate is the complete opposite, inconsistent, terrible under a high ball but when playing well capable of sheer brilliance. With confidence Uate is, and has proven to be the most damaging winger and try scorer in the comp.
Gagai was quiet in 2014 and if he wants to follow Bennet to Brisbane I say let him, I don’t believe he is a great loss.
Leilua is a strong young player who can find the line and out-muscles opposition centres on a weekly basis, he needs to stay.
So out of the backs I wouldn’t be concerned if Gagai left and I would probably not be phased if McManus wanted out either.
So by the end of 2015, the club could have moved on Gidley, Gagai and McManus opening up fullback and wing and centre spots.
That would be my plan of attack if I was Rick Stone. I just hope he makes the right decisions when the time comes.
