Predicting the 2024 NRL season - Panthers' era over, Dragons to get spoon, Cowboys rising - and the stars under most pressure

Hi Paul. I agree with everything you said. The recruitment, retention and development at Newcastle has been on the nose for years. They are paying the wrong players, and as a result the team sucks on the field. When they do finally luck into a good player like Dom Young, he doesn’t want to saddle his future to the Knights.
