Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

But Laurie did that great tackle on Gutho.
If he can get one highlight like that every 2 seasons he should have a highlight reel in approx 30 seasons.
Sign him up long term.

Just like a Blore’s hit on Brown in his debut. Done nothing since.

Yep Brooks to 9 is just dumb.

Yet many people on here gave Madge a hard time for not doing exactly that.Supporters have to realise all changes come with consequences

Brooks was the anchor that took Madge to the bottom of the sea.

So if he’s from Kempsey does that mean he’s available to play for QLD ?

It's not Bowraville.

Kade Dykes killed it in cup yesterday. Looks a talent. Super quick and good ball skills

No news on Nikora re-signing at the Sharks. He has leg drive and whacks them in defence. We could use some of that defence.

 

[Hmm]

What people need to understand is league is an easy game when your forward pack can dominate other packs or at least get over top of them, you think it’s easy for a half to make a play from 35-40m out from their own line with multiple players closing in on them because our play the ball is slow and our forwards just been pushed back rather than forward momentum, we fix our pack and get some go forward and you’d be surprised how good our halves and other players look. Unfortunately for us, there’s very few quality forwards available and the ones that are definitely don’t wanna come to us for less than 200k more than they’re worth.

Yeah I think Nikora has been really good lately. Running really tough lines and aggressive in defence

I completely agree with this and i think you will find most other old buggers like me would,changes to the rules over the years have had an effect on forwards dominating games but backs score points however forwards win the games

Let's not judge a book by it's cover without knowing the full story.

We have a forward pack who are mostly bludgers.
How do you think a player like DCE would look like with this sort of a forward pack?

And the one or two forwards who are genuinely trying their hardest are overcome by fatigue only due to the laziness of those bludgers.

We must get rid of those bludgers or put them in KOE team and get some big young forwards who'd love to play for a big contract and the club and no more of those who have used us as a retirement village.

Jackson has not been as good as those first parra and souths game. Not sure if it's injury or attitude

Yeh he has a foot injury but also teams are targeting him alot more and shutting him down.

Come back like Andrew John now plays like matty johns.

Yes liddle coming of and then send off didn’t help , having madden on the bench was a big mistake we need another big forward

A big part of this I think is our forwards aren’t winning their battles which always hampers playmakers when they have to play off the back foot, behind slow rucks etc

I suspect he is still carrying injury. Brooks is not usually first choice goal kicker.

Yep we have no go forward he was heavily marked yesterday so Brooks got alot more ball unfortunately he isn't the player to take the pressure off Hastings kicking out on the full and poor passing from hooker needs to be moved on for next season.

Nu Brown has to be the 14. Has more utility value and is tougher with more deception and willing to have a run. Leave Brooks at 6.
AD needs to come back as centre at least initially especially since Naden will be gone for at least 6 weeks now that he plays for the Tigers.

 

[bathursttiger1]

What happened to waiting 4 the coach to sign players?

Maybe they already know who the coach is.

 

[oldschooltiger]

Brooks was the anchor that took Madge to the bottom of the sea.

And Madge was silly enough to sign him on a big contract.

The last time we had a good forward pack we made the semi's.

Mate, it's obvious to see that he's playing with an injury.

Unlike many of those bludgers,
I've seen enough of him to know that he genuinely cares about this team and that not only is he a high quality player, he is also a person who strives to maintain high moral standards.
