Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Of course Brooks was shackled by Maguire he handed him the team backed him over and over again and joins a line of others that have been held accountable for Brooks( including Farah and Benji) not developing his game to the level that we had all wished and hoped for. The pattern is so firmly ingrained in this club for no result- every one outside the club can see it- I just hope to god Brooks backs himself somewhere else so we can focus on developing a team instead of a player.
 
As far as I am concerned he is not worth 766k,the greatest thing he lacks is footy IQ,and I really don't think things are going to change with the new coaches after playing over 150 first grade games.
He's barely worth have that amount,so I'm sure hoping we don't get stuck with him at those lofty $$$

Moses, Farah, Taylor, Benji have all been blamed for stifling Brooks. Let’s add Madge to the list.

You can put the mortgage on Api stifling Brooks next year.
 
We have been consistently in consistent all year. I'd say our best performances under both coaches have had more to do with the players available at the time due to a horror run of injuries and the lack of depth at the club to replace them.
Our best performances have been when we have lots of second phase and play an expansive style of football. Here's a tip - it wasn't under Maguire.
 
I don't want to lose Madden either. I read his comments yesterday and he seemed quite positive towards the club. An apprenticeship under Sheens will be the making of him. He's a good talent.
Maddens dreaming if he thinks he can leave the tigers and get a gig with another team , he will be in the same position as he is now,
 
I thought you couldn’t extend a player and pay him less for the remainder of his current contract? I remember Nathan cleary tried to sign a new contract that was less than his current deal and it got knocked back?
Thought that's what the rorters do

That's what I thought also. There has been a few examples in the past of players offering to take a pay cut in order to help clubs recruit or retain certain players. Each time I hear that it is against NRL rules to do so.
 
Logically, why would any player go to the Knights. The sheer desperation on this forum is amusing. The Knights' coach is Maguire lite and appears to be on borrowed time. They've guaranteed him his role until end of year.
In his case to test himself (although I doubt it is in him) under the tutelage of the greatest halfback of modern times.
A guy who says that he believes in him and could unlock his game … although personally I doubt it.
