Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If that would be the case how are teams at the bottom of the competition ladder ever (or how long) going to take to reach top four standard?

Too long. I agree it's a problem.

A player like Tedesco couldn't do it for us, and Ponga couldn't do it for Newcastle.

Given the way the NRL is now, the only way to oust the top teams is by having an outstanding crop of juniors and keeping the right ones. Even the top juniors go to the top teams these days: (Sualli, Walker, etc.).

For your information;

180 Centimeters =
5 Feet, 10.87 Inches
(rounded to 4 digits).

So Brooks is only 1.13 inches than 6 feet tall but is 3 kg heavier and just as strong as Campbell.

A difference of 1.13 inches could be important to some.

I Remember Jimmy Smith on SEN discussing on air last year regarding a Chammas article....
That it's almost to the point of a personal vendetta

I personally think Chammas is a moron - and I did not have that opinion until I saw him on TV, with his moronic comments and moronic arguments. It really has nothing to do with Michael Maguire or the Tigers. I think Danny Weedler and Pooper are morons too, though Weedler doesn't appear to have any specific anti-Tigers angle in his stuff.

I try, if possible, to ignore most everything that they say or write, and certainly I will not watch any pundit show like NRL 360 or Total Footy if morons are given a platform to spout their moronity.

Campbell can play reminds me of his dad but unfortunately signed till 2025

Maybe their 5/8 would like to play fullback again!

Did anyone see the bit in the paper on Sunday that the WT'S entertained Arthur Laundy in the Chairman's box on Friday night he's good friends with Tim Sheens and is also a mad Tigers fan.He's pee'd of with the Doggies for sacking he's good friend of 20years Barrett and his sponsorship with them is up this year its apparently worth $500K maybe Arthur might be our next Doggies signing🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏

I agree Sleeve, however

We are a squad that's finally getting some identity and playing for the full 80.

Is Brooksy (Who I really like) worth the money that he is on?

I dont want to underpay Hastings or loose Madden..

Brooks salary is to me completely irrelevant because it's the next contracts for these players that matters.

You aren't paying them the same salaries on their next contracts.

We have 4 first grade quality options in our halves. You could move Doueihi and maybe Brooks to other positions but there are problems with this as well.

Hastings to me is the most important piece.

The club can't stuff this up but I don't know what the right solution is.

This was mentioned previously. We need some of those dollars to get contracts over the line.

Bring Laundy, Barrett and Burton. We'll make room I'm sure.

For me Paul crawly is the worst of the worst the bloke has 0 rugby league knowledge and never has anything interesting to talk about I really don’t understand how fox hire blokes like him and hooper there a bunch of drama queens

Nrl 360 would be so much more enjoyable if they had recent x players running it and actually talking about the tactical side of football instead of personal attacks on players and comstant winging about every little thing

Crawley is the worst, by far. His football intellect seems negligible.

Hooper was at a table next to mine at Wests league last year, can’t remember the game, but he is deadset thick as a brick. How he can even sign into a computer to write a article amazes me. He was loud and dumb

There's no way brooks is 5'10.
This is him and I at @Demps wedding and I'm just over 6🤔

Paul's brother is Steve Crawley, Head of Television for Fox Sports. So no nepotism....
