Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yeah he didn't sound too sure. A lot of "We would love for him to be here". Club just needs to stick strong on this one. He signed a contract and we made recruitment decisions based on this.

Benji did seem very excited about Api being here in 2023!

Sounds like a nice way saying suxk it up.

Anything else of note?
 
He also wasn’t too convincing Re Paps being at the Tigers next season either…..
I'm hoping he didn't say much as we didn't want to put it out there that we are forcing him to honour his contract even though he has to come regardless unless we back down again.
He did mention that he thinks Eels might have woken up and might of increased there offer but it's too late and if we let him stay the fans will go off.

Distanced himself from the recruitment decisions at the moment. Said it is up to Sheens and the club as he is coach for next 2 years. He hasn't spoken to players to recruit. Will speak to them if he is asked to though.

Really spoke about being a coach that will be there for players off the field in a big way. Get that right and then that helps get best out of them (credited this as something Bennett did so well in particular).

Sheens has hours of footage of the young guns identified as coming through that he has sent Benji.

The Douiehi/Brooks/Hastings topic was asked...he said he had an opinion on the next steps, but that is between him, Tim and the club. He did say that Brooks best position is 7 (didn't indicate whether that was at Tigers or elsewhere in the future) and being heavily involved in a game. He seems like a player who has all the pressure and expectation on him and as a result is down on confidence.
