The Harold Matthews prop.Do you mean Jordan Miller, the Harold Matthews prop?
Jacob Miller last played for WT in 2013. He'd be approaching 30 now.

🙄Reported doesn't mean it is true. The context is also important. If he is on that amount, is it due to his contract being backdated? He accepted less in earlier years? We don't know and it is only speculation that is used by the Brooks' posse to hit him over the head.
AD has spent a large portion of his time at WTs injured and he will be a year away from the date he returns to the field to be back to his best. As for Hastings, without Brooks there is no spark in the halves. Also, have the other teams now worked him out. He's been quiet the last few games.
Agreed. Doueihi plays with passion and some skill but he doesn't play enough. Durability is the issue and if he is not at that level, you either punt him or ask him to take a significant pay cut.the anti Brooks brigade are the same champions of Douhie who might be lucky to even get that 6 jersey back, so they are desperate for Brooks to move on
Use Douhie's money for Cobbo or Stephen Crighton and back the team with Hastings and Brooks with Madden as understudy
It's only mid-range in my list of favourite forums to read after the team has taken a loss. Favourite is definitely Souths - bunch of whiny doomers who want to sack everyone all the time. It's hilarious. Parra is probably the worst: incoherent, illiterate and with a very strong streak of unashamed racism.You can get an instant read on what their fans are saying . . . just go to the kennel.
It's a brutal and honest forum where the fans say what's really on their minds.
Politically correct, it ain't.
But it's a great read.
Agree with some of Ur points but value for money in our current system is very important.Personally I don't give a stuff about his salary. He has played for us for years. He has consistently been one of our better players. He will not get a massive contract renewal.
I'm not sold on keeping Brooks but you would be nuts to think you are going to pay him 1 million dollars a season and Hastings 500k. I can't see any club including ours being that stupid.
It might be happening right now but it won't continue.
Focusing on his salary is the wrong way to view the situation. You have to state he is worth say 500k and that is all you pay him. If he goes no worries.
I reckon he has been pretty good this season again. I'm not convinced that we retain him though. I'm 100% convinced he doesn't get a top tier contract with the Tigers again.
I still want to see a AD/Hastings halves combo.
1. Upgrade --> Laurie or Brooks.
2. David Nofoaluma
3. AJ Kepaoa
4. Starford To'a
5. Ken Maumalo
6. Adam Doueihi
7. Jackson Hastings
That backline lacks speed in the outside backs especially on the wings but with a gun fullback I reckon they'd score plenty of points.
Brooks gets the 100k long service discount plus I'm sure he will take a haircut at next contract if he is happy in halves with Hastings
Your man Douhie will likely be looking for the big pay day at next contract, maybe Dolphins might come knocking
Of course he is - injuries happen.Did he get injured at the pub or being involved at his job the West Tigers he isn't allowed work's comp ?
He was doing his job distributing from the middle, just like Hastings is doing now. It was not his job to do the creative stuff he is doing now, that was the job of the fullback and 5/8 in the structure decided by the coach.🙄
Are you an elderly woman?
You seem to.come across that way.
Where is this spark been for the last 5 or so years?
Since its been "Luke's " team.
You need to shake the cobwebs off and get out there again.
Luke is shit.
Doueihi is remembered well better than he has played…Agreed. Doueihi plays with passion and some skill but he doesn't play enough. Durability is the issue and if he is not at that level, you either punt him or ask him to take a significant pay cut.
In short, you🙄

It should not and never be again "his team"
Reasonably well just won't cut it.

Good for the young man. Apparently this is how the NRL wants the game. The weaker clubs now have the juniors pilfered at a very young age by expansion teams.First time posting. Jacob Miller from Wests SG Ball has signed a three year contract with the Dolphins, at 150000 a season.
