isn't that interesting...
on triple M Sunday Aaron Woods and Brent Read suggested a Frizelle and Brooks swap
I call BS just media talk
Brooks will be here in 2023

I heard Brent Read talking about it. He just said he thinks it would be a good swap. I thinks it is just media talk.

They're probably reporting the same thing

It makes more sense that it's just a media beat up. It'd be awesome though. We need another quality edge backrower to go along with IP.

That's why it's important to keep talking up Brooks, so the Knights stay keen for his services.

1. I would still be talking to Angus' manager. He is still "free".
2. I'd also be in Tapine's ear, but he's signed there for a while longer - he may start to decline by the time we can get him across though.
3. Look at the Manly 7 - they may not want to don the rainbows again next year. Any of them worth looking at?

I heard one of them cuts the grass pretty well.

spot on that is what Read said on triple M he thinks it woukd be a good deal.
I seriously doubt we are releasing Brooks for 2023 especially given how we played without him and Hastings last week

 

[Roar_Power]

Why ? IP has a contract and just spoke about teaming up with Sheesy, Robbie and Benji.

We also need two edge backrowers.

Oh, I missed that....whoops!

here is an idea why don't teams look at Adam Douhie .... Maybe dolphins might like to look at that.

Didn't Sheens comment the other day about Brooks?

 

[Cobarcats]

The only way to take managers out of the loop is to have hard and fast penalties for breaking a contract written into the contract and the cooling off period to be when the NRL are ratifying the said contract and not after its signed.
Managers have too much power.

he did but let's all forget that and resume the Brooks bashing in 3 2 1 ...

 

[dazza65]

He looked pretty good last week.

luckily, for my mental health, I didn't watch the game. lol

13. Hastings
9. Api
7. Brooks
6. Schuster

Why, Brooks is the one who needs to go, 9 seasons and quite a few coaches have tried and failed to get him going

Would Kiraz leave Dogs ?

Doubt it, he seems to love the Dogs and they've got him signed up for the next 2 seasons. (to end of 2024)

 

[momo_amp_medo]

If true, means IP won't be coming.

Nope just means he will have an unexpected 2nd row partner.

Because our players are average

I was thinking more about the concept but Ur reply is spot on.
Look at the top teams, they have a player out and their second-string comes in and 9/10 does a great job.
Penrith halves, matty Johns kid for example.
Brooks out, noone steps up. Jacko out, same again.
Is it not necessarily talent, but more structure and poor coaching?
We even played a shit team, Newcastle were hopeless.
Where is the drive? Jock and AD had every opportunity to show their worth and didn't deliver. Don't forget both of them are up for new contracts too.
We have a terrible attitude. Just turning up seems to be enough.
