Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Munster, Lui and Cody walker are examples of creative 5/8's. Doueihi so far has played 5/8 mostly like a 2nd rower. Run hard and straight and don't pass.

Haha, I love how much you Brooks lovers lie. If AD only ever ran and didn't pass the ball, how did he have more try assists in 2021 than Luke Brooks did? I'll also add that he had more try assists while playing less games too

A bit of a grey area. ..
if he had of said he “had” an appointment and “is” cleared to play. Then i would have thought he would be in.
I read it as though he “has“ an appointment… to be cleared to play.

going of that ….guessing he will be named in the 18-21 This arvo.

Let's see what happens.

I wouldn't want to be rushing him back.
Times are desperate though, the cupboard is bare.

Shame the NRL won't help us out with some loan players, we're the most injury effected club.

I’d love to see A.D at 5/8 but dont want to risk him a heavily involved position like that. It would be be for A.D’s recovery to play Madden at 5/8 and easy A.D back into the side.
Maybe from the bench or centre.

I'm not a Maguire fan but he should be judged on results, not on the players he signs.

I’m a fan of anyone who can do what needs to be done.
I just don’t get this concept of..the sacking of an individual miraculously transforms the group into something special. It doesn’t make sense.
Of course, I could change my mind if the dogs put 50 on us Friday? 😂
I much prefer to see some evidence of teamwork, and we’re now seeing that.

Wonder how many plays signed to the Dogs to play under Trent?
always dangerous to play a team just after they sacked to coach.
didn’t the Dog win when Gould report-ably took over their training session.

Madge has a track record of playing injured players eh...

Well see what teams named and what takes the field Friday.

Hopefully the right decision is made.

I doubt AD plays Friday tho.

You have decided Brooks is bad and you don't see anything else. It is observation bias and we all have it to some extent. Stating your opinion on a forum does not make it true, no matter how many thousand times you say the same thing.

Well said. Describes the position in a nutshell.

That's fair. We're into his fourth year and imo enough is enough A new voice, better tactics and a fresh face may be the boost we need as a club.

Many of his try assists were offloads close to the line. Doueihi did kick and pass the ball, but he ran straight most of the time and rarely used his outside men. I think that is why he was moved to centre, because he is not yet a NRL level 5/8.

Calling people a liar because you don't understand makes you look stupid. Thinking that Brooks is a better half than Doueihi does not make me a Brooks lover, its is only a small percentage of people that think Brooks is a bad player, which is why he gets paid well and has played so many games in the halves. The people that hate Brooks no matter what he does are the tiny but very noisy minority. They are not coaches or have any professional involvement with the NRL.
