I think that Ennis is a huge loss and Seggy, if signed, is dynamic but has nothing in game management which is where Ennis was top class. The team who controls the ruck goes a long to winning the game and Ennis was one of the best at that.

Newcastle Knights star Jarrod Mullen has tested positive to an anabolic steroid and faces a ban of up to four years.
In a crippling blow for the embattled club, Mullen returned a positive "A sample" on November 29 last year to the banned substance drostanolone.
ASADA has notified the 29-year-old and the NRL today of his positive test. He has the option of immediately accepting the results or having his "B sample" retested.
A local junior, Mullen has played more than 200 matches for the Knights. His career has been cruelled by injuries in recent years.
Last April, he tore his hamstring off the bone, sidelining him for three months.
Then, last November, he tore the hamstring again. He was tested by ASADA soon after and his career now remains in tatters.
The club issued a statement at 4.30pm on Tuesday confirming Mullen was tested on November 29.
He cannot participate in rugby league during a provisional suspension while he awaits testing of his B sample.
Chief executive Matt Gidley said the club was “obviously extremely disappointed.”
“The club has a strict governance program, the players are regularly educated and fully aware of the consequences of going outside our governance guidelines,” he said.
“From here, there is a formal process we need to follow under the guidelines.
“We need to respect the process and in the interim the club will continue to monitor Jarrod’s welfare.”

Knights reportedly looking at letting Korbin Sims go to free up salary cap space.
The Broncos looked certain to get him seeing they missed out on signing Napa from the Roosters however, apparently Souths have come in late with a larger bid.
I believe the Knights want the cash so they can sign Shaun Fensom who is unwanted at Raiders.

My question is how the hell are the Knights over the cap? They lost Rochow, Uate, Tariq Sims, McManus, Smith & Gidley. I am sure they paid overs for Hodkinson and they will need big $$$ for Pongia but there must be some average players on big $$$ there.
