I did hear a whisper Sean Russell was offered a shot at fullback if he came over. Has some time to go with Parra and is a junior but they've got a heap of wingers. And fullback money would be nice!
Have you heard anything?
Unfortunately though we go back to having the NRL's dumbest halfback back in the 7. So we go back to having no direction, dumb decision making, no leadership from halfback
Yes he can. You can't table him an offer until then though.WT have not spoken to Russell or his mgt. He can not be approached until 1/11.
And let Justin to startLT, the whole panthers reserve grade probably would beat us so no real advantage.
All jokes aside, this could be the reason why they chose this game to see if AD and Brooks can deliver 🤔
I must write that I'd rather give Tumeth or Boyling a go in the second row than Hastings at lock.Yeh saw that. Warm up those shoulders Jacko 😁. Moving our best forward in Joffa seems weird to me.
I doubt JH will be staying at this club being belted at lock but time will tell.
By continually allowing Brooks to play is telling me they want him to stay otherwise they would have JH and AD as the halves.... interesting 🤔
It appears the club just hasn't got the balls to drop Brooks. Just drop him for 2 weeks and see how things go.Putting Hastings at lock is insanity just rip the Band-Aid off put brooks in reserve grade and give Hastings and doughi a go what do we have to loose?
Not silly idea Brooks can run fast can tackle but kicking game shit so at center no responsibility for kicking gameBrooks to Centre
Hastings and AD. In the half’s
may as well as this tries out the half’s combo and puts a player with speed in the centres , and yes I probably make a shit coach but I’d still give it a go. we’re running last
I suggested Brooks to centre last week just so I could get a bite or two, nothing the bait was left on the hook not even a nibble.😂Brooks to Centre

Agree about AD & JH together and moving Brooks on.................only to Centre!!!Unfortunately thats the vibe I get about Brooks..
I would be dropping him like he deserves and seeing how AD and Hastings go together.. Madness even playing Brooks when he clearly needs to move on.
I did the same a few weeks back. Got a few but not as expectedI suggested Brooks to centre last week just so I could get a bite or two, nothing the bait was left on the hook not even a nibble.😂
There's sure to be a DT article being pulled together about a move to Newcastle.😂Jacob Liddle is the latest Wests Tigers player whose future is clouded after the club allowed him to explore his options beyond this season.
Liddle is contracted to the Tigers until the end of 2023, but the arrival of Blues and Panthers star Apisai Koroisau from next season will further limit his opportunities. Several clubs looking to bolster their dummy-half depth are monitoring the situation closely.
St George Illawarra coach Anthony Griffin has met with Liddle about the prospect of joining the Red V. The Dragons have Andrew McCullough on the books until the end of next year, who only recently celebrated his 300th NRL appearance. The joint-venture has used Jayden Sullivan at dummy half at times but is yet to settle on its preferred back-up option.
Parramatta - who are farewelling Reed Mahoney and welcoming Josh Hodgson at the end of the current campaign - are monitoring the situation, as are the Gold Coast Titans.
The development comes just weeks after Luciano Leilua was granted an early release to join the Cowboys.
Liddle has been in and out of the Tigers side this year and has been overlooked for Sunday’s clash with Penrith. Fa’amanu Brown will wear the No.9 jersey as part of a team shake up that includes moving Jackson Hastings to lock, with Adam Doueihi moving into the halves alongside Luke Brooks for the first time this year.
There has been ongoing speculation about the futures of several current and prospective Tigers players as the club prepares to name its coach for next year. Tim Sheens is poised to take up the role a decade after being sacked by the club, potentially with Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall as part of his brains trust.
The Tigers had hoped to lure Cameron Ciraldo to Concord, but Sheens is now the firm favourite for the role after the Panthers assistant knocked a long and lucrative offer.
Isaiah Papali’i is signed to join Koroisau as a marquee recruit for next year, but the club had to allay concerns the Parramatta backrower had about the move. Papali’i committed to the Tigers while Michael Maguire was coach, but his sacking raised questions about the direction of the club.
Those concerns have largely been allayed after a recent meeting between the parties and the former Warrior is now expected to go ahead with the transfer.
“He’s assured us since that everything is fine, Sheens told the Herald on Tuesday. “I’m comfortable that there is no problem at all. He’s looking forward to training with us when he joins us after the World Cup.”
The future of Brooks, who will be paid a seven-figure sum next season, continues to be a point of conjecture, while Hastings is said to be unsettled after being switched from his preferred halves position. Hastings, contracted until the end of next year, has been one of the Tigers’ best in their campaign to date.
