Any one who ask for a release early would be in reserve. Grade for the rest of there contract , screw fair work I would simply say not up to first grade need to play better to break in. By by

If his performances drop off quickly then all for him playing reserves but so far they haven't so why would we act unprofessionally if he is performing?

It's not as though we have any major leverage he will be going to them next year anyway.

I have zero issues with the discussion happening as long as we just don't bend over and say sure without getting something in return be it directly or indirectly & he continues performing.

Jason T for me as we have money to burn as no one wants to come here anyway..
I would say Sheen's or Pascoe make this happen but they are in missing and not been seen for weeks now so not sure who could help...
It blows my mind how they can sit back like nothing is wrong as not even come out and update our members and fans.. As much as people don't like Gus at least he keeps fans updated

I saw Sheens last week at the same Eye doctors surgery which I was attending. He had his Wests tigers clothing on so I think he went to training straight after his appointment.

I saw him play round 1 v wests and he was close to the best player on the field in a beaten side. Never gave up and scored a great try.

My sources say the same thing. I think some of the posters on this thread are being bit harsh on our KOE despite the floggings with a number of last year Jersey Flegg players. They really have missed a lot of football over the past 2 seasons so in my opinion, it may take some time for them to adjust to KOE and if good enough NRL. Some will make it and some won't but we shouldn't be too quick to judge.

Not sure how someone like Scolari will come back for 2023 as he will potentially (unless he comes back this year mid-season) have missed almost 2.5 seasons so he will be an unknown. Other clubs are in the same boat though with Covid - I just think a lot of the younger ones coming through may need a bit more development time than they normally would before the clubs know whether they have any NRL players amongst them. Clearly our HM and SG Ball have talent - it's just that patience is wearing very thin on our NRL performance and most supporters are getting very frustrated and aren't willing to hang their hopes on our youngsters which could take another 2-3 years.

Not having a go at you specifically but there has been a lot of posters stating Brooks is going to our 7 and Madge will never drop him.

He has been moved from the 7 spot because we have a better option and he will get moved from the 6 spot if we have a better option.

The club wants to win games.

Saw Sheens at Henson Park watching the ressies last Saturday. Plenty of people were talking to him, no doubt asking similar things and he was obviously happy to talk to them.

He hasn’t been dropped yet. Just changed the number on his jersey.

He has lost the role of game managing halfback. The press directly from the players and the club previously was that Brooks was the halfback. Now Brooks and Hastings are both stating Hastings is running the team.

I reckon it's a massive change. It's not the number on their backs. It's the role that Brooks has now compared to previously. Sure you still expect him to set up and execute some attacking plays, defend on the edge and be utilized as one of our main kickers. Hastings will be the dominant player though. They've basically said Brooks can't continue in that role because he isn't good enough.
