Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Cobarcats]

I think we desperately need a young winger to replace Ken. Young Taylon May from Penrith is awesome and he's going to lose his spot when To'o comes back. He's the bloke I'd be talking to. I'd be trying to sweeten the deal by signing his brother Terrell from the Bears (plays prop and doesn't have an NRL contract). He's been the leading prop in KOE this year averaging 185m a match and tackling at 96%

Why desperately?
He's finished off tries well so far, good strike rate.
If we can get him fit and lose a few kilos, get his speed back then he becomes a weapon again.
He's just finding his feet and you want him sacked. 🤔

I love AD as much as the next bloke, but hypothetically if its Brooks/AD out and Munster in for 23 surely you take it.

Munster is just about the best in the league right now, you take him over everyone

Doueihi is still our future 6. He and Hastings together would be absolutely killer and Hastings has mentioned multiple times how keen he is to play with AD

Munster, not interested in Tigers.

Agree, Hastings, Adam D r the leadership future.

Need to sort out brooks future, big money when he isnt the best player in the team.

Doueihi needs to get himself fit and back on the field. Any suggestion of him being in a leadership position is a mute point until then. It will be a full year before he returns to full fitness.

Munster attracts other stars. You absolutely take him if he’s an option. But I doubt he is.

Agree.. Munster is NOT coming here regardless and we need to move on from even thinking about him. He laughed at us when they were asking Harry Grant about staying with us in an interview.
For me moving forward providing no injuries.
6 - AD
7 - Hastings
14 - Madden / Rao

If Brooks somehow starts to show form at 6 with Hastings at 7 I would move AD to centre but AD needs to be in the starting 13 regardless. Maybe Lock as he is big enough

Can we somehow bring this to the attention of Sheens

Brooks extension. 1.3m

Munster isn’t gonna come to the Tigers we all know that, of course I understand people wanting him as he would attract other players, but we know he isn’t gonna come to the club no matter what we offered him, plus he’s got Anasta as his manager the guy hates us with a passion so we aren’t landing Munster, we will most likely keep Doeuihi he loves the club but where we play him no idea yet, Brooks is still up in the air he played brilliantly the other day at 6,but we aren’t gonna give him a bigger pay packet than what he’s on and what he is getting next year if we do decide on keeping him providing he is playing good he won’t get that kind of money again, if re-signed he will be on a massive pay cut

May isn’t gonna lose his spot when To’o comes back Staines will be losing his when To’o does return

Munster is a near certainty to end up at the Dolphins. stack of Storm old boys, an opportunity to return home and has a great relationship with Wayne. I said last week I'd love for us to throw him $1.5m a year for 7 years but there's just no future where he comes to WT.

as for Brooks, let's just wait and see. I'm still not sure if there's a future for him at the club. I've always believed Doueihi is our 5/8 for the next decade but if he plays at the level he did on Monday week in week out then AD might have to make a switch to the centres.

Only club I believe has a genuine chance of landing Munster is Dolphins so I agree with you either Dolphins land him or he’ll stay with Storm.

Brooks I agree it is still up in the air but if he keeps playing like he did on Monday than yeah Doueihi will probably get shifted to Centre but if we do get rid of Brooks you would have Doueihi at 6 I do think him and Hastings would be lethal together.

I don't think anyone was seriously talking about Munster coming here.

The topic of Munster came up when we compared the combined salary of AD/Brooks would actually be less than what Munster would sign with a club & if it was an option would we prefer taking Munster over AD/Brooks. It's a mute point we would have a higher chance of Garry Jack playing fullback than Munster wearing a Wests Tigers jersey.

Re AD, alot no doubt is banked on the success of Hastings/Brooks over the next few weeks.
If we win more than we lose then I can't see Madge changing that dynamic anytime soon.
