They both need better players around them. As would Allan Langer or Andrew John’s. Our squad sucks

Our squad beat 2 good teams in consecutive weeks when we were far from full strength.
Lets get full strength and then judge them. My suspicion is they have improved.

That’s 2 out of 12-13 tries. This club needs to quit the excuses and get better.

3 in NQ game when we would have led at halftime and into a winning pos 2nd half. Watch the game again and listen to Voss explain why he won't comment on the "oh I won't comment on that". It was embarrassing to hear that from an opinionated commentator who seemed to be gagged from bagging the referring non decisions. I think he used the term "The Tigers just need the rub of the green" a few times - but maybe the refs were getting plenty of green by the terrible calls - not just last night but over the past many weeks. Unconscious Bias is alive and well in the NRL!

What if I told you Sheens is in discussions to extend Brooks and Hastings now..

It's not the contract ext. that is the objectionable thing by the fans,
But what may be objectionable is, will the new contract have the correct price?

And if it's not done with the correct price then that will surely stir up a lot of fans on this forum,

Which then could make the Luke Brooks thread one of the biggest threads on the World Wide Web that even surpasses the Signing Suggestions & Rumours thread.

I’m yelling at the refs as much as anyone. We also got one in our favour when they ruled some kind of hip drop tackle on Tupou. Don’t hear those ones mentioned even when Garner scored off it. Just gotta be better.

Love how some are blowing smoke up Hastings for ‘leading’ a team that conceded 5 tries in a row, same thing brooks has done for years. How’s it different?!

The difference is Hastings actually makes the players around him better. He gets the whole team going. Brooks just did his thing, maybe got the occasional try assist in the final 15 mins.
If you can't see the difference between how our side has been playing the last 5 weeks compared to the previous few years then maybe footy isn't the code for you.

Brooks 600 would be good business.

LOL two good weeks followed by 3 disappointing weeks. Sounds like the same BS we’ve put up for 11 years.

Those 2 forward Passes & offside kick meant that they got scoreboard momentum and we were under pressure thru injuries in the 2nd half. Simply bagging the team is so wrong. NQC should have lapped us with 1 on the bench but they didn't. Wake the F up and challenge the officials for failing to do their job! Try mowing a lawn without petrol!

You clearly don't watch the games.

No. Brooks more than holds his own. That's why he is targeted by opposition teams because they know he is one of the few genuine threats WTs possess.

They compliment each other Jacko leads Brooks follows

 

[BAGNF05]

Not disputing the disadvantage. The good teams overcome bad calls. We aren’t a good team.

 

[GCfan]

You can’t release players when you can’t replace them. We are stuck in pascoes fiasco

I assume you are across the end of year review comments and what feedback was given to madge and why the assistants were appointed? and Madge's response? I'll bet no answer to this one

like I said its in the media, despite your pleas for confidentiality

It’s in the media? Must be true and accurate.

You’re clearly forgetting we almost made the eight. Now we’re spoon material. Who doesn’t watch games.

Any team with our injuries would be spoon material we do have more upside and fight than most teams in the 8

The guys we have injured aren’t even rep quality players, they ran 13th or something last year. Their return may or may not improve us. Sorry harsh truth.

 

[GCfan]

By the end of this season Paws I am going to get a compliment for Madge out of you. It is my new medium term goal. 😆

Never!
I think Paws is taking his stance on Madge to the grave. And that’s his right to do so. Might not always agree but got to respect the man for his staunch take on the situation.

Might not be rep quality but they still give us something you wanna be negative about everything we do go ahead but others with real footy knowledge know we are headed in the right direction

he doesn't look like skelator at the pressers anymore

True. He doesn’t seem to be rolling out the constant ebbs n flows either. Seems to be a little more to his pressers than there used to be
