Lachie Miller 3 year deal announced.

Good news indeed and the right quality. First of a few let’s hope.

Yep, one box ticked - pace in the backs.
Still some big gaps to fill in the halves and the front row.
Hopefully more to come.

Good addition, now need another 3-4 of the same quality.

A good organiser in the half’s needed now to partner Miller or Myler, with one of them at Fullback. Suspect Miller will stay at Fullback and Myler move back to 6. People day Mylers nor a halfback but he’s played most of his career there and was a firmer player if the year and Lance todd winner there, and he us a good half with the right partner.

Knights fans seem unhappy he is leaving, could turn out to be a great signing, we’ve lacked some real pace for a long time

Really happy with Miller signing, I've watched a lot of Knights games because there my team in NRL and at start of season when Knights weren't doing so well Lachie Miller was there best player hands down. He'll be great at Super League I think we'll see him mostly at Full back but he can easily step into halves hope he turns out to he a successful signing for us because he has all the attributes to do so.

Hopefully he can stay fit and could turn out to be a good signing. We desperately need an organising half back as well though. It says Miller is a good broken field runner, if Myler is playing at 7 that is all he will get as there will be little in the way of structured play.

Pleased with this could be a line breaker that we have been short of.Still need two quality halves and a prop.

The impact of his kick returns in themselves should have a big impact on us. Creating some disruption from the backfield, making yardage, breaking a couple of tackles and getting a quicker ptb on play one is something we struggle for and that impacts what the forwards are carrying the ball into. 6 and some explosive pack addition next please.

Agreed, the disruptive backfield plays have really been a point of difference for saints in their successful period, and while he is good anyway, it’s made such a big difference to Walmsley.

Great first step.

Happy with this one and hope he’s signed to be a full back. One established half back at an absolute minimum is essential. Could risk Myler/Sinfield in the other half for a year but preferably not.

Have we heard anything more about Fusitua? For the right money I would keep him around. He looks good bringing the ball out but injuries are going to be a gamble.

I presume Tetavano will be leaving which means we could probably do with another front line prop.

I'm not sure I'd want Myler anywhere near halfback unless its in an emergency.

I am pleasantly surprised by Miller signing. He's quick and elusive and could be genuinely exciting in SL. Next priority is a top class halfback.

Is Ponga staying at the Knights then jr?

I don't know personally but he's got like 5 year's left on his deal and on mega money so it appears he's staying put at Knights for the moment, he's in fine form at the minute.

Also fun fact for everyone, every season Leeds have Signed a player from Newcastle Knights the Rhinos have gone onto win the Super League or a trophy that year.

Danny Buderus- 2009- Grand Final & LLS

Ben Cross- 2011- Grand Final

Adam Cuthbertson- 2015- Treble Winners.

Lachie Miller- 2024- ???

Looking forward to having him, hoping he's got a bit of Jai Field about him

He looks quick and v safe under the kicks.

Having him and a fit Fusi ( praying,I know) bringing it back early tackle will help our pack

He’s averaging over 150 run metres per game

Taken from a decent Aaron Bower article...

Average metres per game (selected players)
Lachlan Miller – 182 metres (11 NRL games)
Matt Dufty – 117 metres (22 Super League games)
Bevan French – 101 metres (22 Super League games)
Jack Welsby – 101 metres (22 Super League games)

Also Miller has 78 tackle busts in 11 games, with Myler on 26 tackle busts in 19 games.

Potentially a very good signing this.

That tackle bust stat is immense!

Yeah,if he's doing that in the NRL then we coukd be onto a great signing.
Exactly the type of player we need to sign

Other clubs fans seem to be mocking the signing - im talking that as a good sign

Very good signing but will need a decent pack and an organising half.
Don`t shoot me down on this one but would Mitchell Pearce be any good for a year?
