PLAYERS TIPS FOR THE NRL GRAND FINALJason Taumalolo (Cowboys)Melbourne. Their defence speaks for itself. Best in the competition. Its hard to put points on a team like that. They always turn up for each other. (From experience) its hard to get the team going forward when you consistently have three or four guys hanging off you.Sam Burgess (Rabbitohs)Cant pick a winner. It really depends on the start of the game. Melbourne are clinical. Cronulla, for many its their first time here but theyve got so many experienced players. We played them both in the last five weeks of the year, one after the other, Melbourne beat us in golden point and we beat the Sharks by six. So, I cant split them.Corey Parker (Broncos)If the Cronulla Sharks can emulate what they did last week against the Cowboys, I think theyll win. If they play that exciting, expansive brand of football ... theyll really trouble Melbourne. I firmly believe the two best teams are in the grand final.Ryan Hoffman (Warriors)Youve got to have a bit of sentiment at this time of year and Im definitely on the Storm.Josh Papalii (Raiders)It would be nice see the Sharks make a bit of history, but I think the Storm. Theyve got a lot of experience in the team. Itll go down to the wire.Billy Slater (Storm)Premierships are won on defence and the team that works the hardest and defends as a team will give themselves the best opportunity. Our set plays are an edge where we can get over the Sharks. But they were extremely dominant last week and are every chance as well. Weve got some young guys who havent experienced it before but Im sure theyll be leaning on the likes of Cooper (Cronk) and Cam (Smith) to get them through the week.Ash Taylor (Titans)Ive got to go Melbourne. Theres a lot of Queensland players in there, so theyre my pick.James Gavet (Warriors)Itd have to be Cronulla. Theyve got a bit of X-factor and are a bit more hungry - they havent been there.

Newcastle coach Nathan Brown is optimistic the back-to-back NRL wooden spooners can bolster their squad with several more players before the 2017 campaign kicks off.The Knights are favourites to finish last for the third successive season after adding only Jamie Buhrer (Manly), Rory Kostjasyn (North Queensland) and Ken Sio (Hull KR) to the roster who managed just one win in 2016.The Knights insist they have a cash stockpile waiting to be spent on the right players, and further funds could become available if they are successful in finding new clubs for Jack Stockwell and Jake Mamo.I think in the NRL, nearly anything is possible these days, Brown said.We saw Michael Jennings move (from the Sydney Roosters to Parramatta) in early December last year. If you believe what you hear, theres a number of clubs under salary-cap pressure and different clubs are trying to move different players for different reasons ... you just dont know who becomes available this year.But I do know if youve got money, youre always a chance. If you dont have money, youre no chance.Since Browns arrival in Newcastle 12 months ago, numerous players have parted company with the club, including Chris Houston (Widnes), Adam Clydsdale and Joe Tapine (Canberra), Tariq Sims (St George Illawarra), Robbie Rochow (South Sydney), Akuiila Uate (Manly) and Jeremy Smith (retired).ddddddddddddAs well as their three recruits for 2017, they picked up fringe first-graders Pauli Pauli (Parramatta), Brendan Elliot (Roosters) and Mitch Barnett (Canberra) last season.Brown predicted there would still be a fair bit of movement in the market in coming weeks, as clubs juggled their rosters and players eyed greener pastures.Weve still got a decent amount of money, Brown said. It just depends what comes up. Weve just added Ken Sio, who helps our outside backs.Wed definitely like to bring another outside back in. We like to bring in a middle-type player and an edge-type player.Id say wed like to bring in another three players, if that was possible. Whether thats possible, well have to wait and see.The Knights kicked off pre-season training on Tuesday with fitness testing and Brown said they were in a little bit of a better position than we were this time last year.The younger guys are more aware of what first grade is about, having played a fair number of games last year and having their first pre-season, he said.Theres definitely a lot of those guys in a position to have a better pre-season and improve on that.
