What if Brooks goes there and O'Brien gets punted - Brooks might want to backflip. I wonder if we would agitate to get him back.

The rise in the age groups of Matts, Ball and Flegg has screwed over players like Feledy. Suddenly they're deemed too young for a competition like Flegg that he would 100% have played most of the season in a few years ago. Flegg should be u20s, otherwise there's this age group of 17-18 year olds who play 8 matches in a year.
No way , have watched him in the Gallagher rugby league, he has lost it , was very average

+ $900K should get you a proven elite. Last time he played league was as a winger. It's a lot to spend to hope he went well.

O'Brien is desperate for a 7, I don't think Sheens will move Brooks on in 2023
without Brooks O'Brien is finished

the 150k from this year plus the long term player bonus of 200k from nrl if that goes on to Brooks 2023 salary of 1.1 million tha takes his 2023 salary to 750k
At 750k for 2023 I don't think Sheens would move Brooks on

I’m going off fumes. Haven’t seen him for a long time. He might even be 33 years old.

if they can manage to keep nofo in Melbourne then that is 450k that can go in Brooks and his salary for 2023 becomes roughly 300k
Then for 2024 and above we get the long service bonus so that is a straight 200k coming off Brooks salary for those years anyway

I had the misfortune of listening to O'Brien speak post game.

I couldn't see Melbourne keeping Noffo unless he was highly subsidised. From what history has shown us, they spend big on the spine and not so much on outside backs. I think he'll be back.
Which is unfortunate 🙄

Perhaps like Momirovski, we can offer him to Roosters and Panthers for A Crichton and Fisher-Harris?

The Roosters will retire Keary, freeing up $2.6M per year to go and get a few more marquees.

Like you, I see him as past talent, but like a lot of other Tiger supporters we know what we would like, but realise its probably out of our reach, so we go for a lot of players that once were reasonable players, so we give them a lucrative 3 year contract hoping he might be good for one year or might squeeze two out of him or a bench player.
Hooper warning
The Wests Tigers have made an inquiry with Wigan about the prospect of bringing 2019 Dally M Backrower of the Year John Bateman back to the NRL in 2023.
In a move unrelated to Isaiah Papali’i having second thoughts about switching from Parramatta to Concord next year, Tigers director of football Tim Sheens has confirmed the club has made the approach.
The catch is going to be Bateman is under contract with Wigan until at least the end of 2024 and for now the Warriors have blocked the Tigers move.
Bateman was one of the standout backrowers in the NRL the year the Canberra Raiders made the grand final in 2019 before his tenure in the national capital soured over a contract stalemate with the Green Machine.
Bateman then returned home to the UK at the end of the 2020 NRL season after inking a four-year deal with Wigan through until the end of 2024.
The Raiders were forced to pay a $250,000 transfer fee to Bradford to bring Bateman to the NRL the first time around but the one bonus with transfer fees to English clubs is they aren’t included in the NRL clubs salary cap.
The Bateman approach is creative thinking from Sheens trying to look outside the square and devise recruitment ploys aimed at overhauling the Wests Tigers roster.
The Tigers have made some recruitment moves this week by re-signing Brent Naden, Asu Kepoa and Starford To’a but the real recruitment space where they need to get busy is the re-signing of Adam Doueihi.
Doueihi is easily the Tigers best player, a local junior and the type of leader the Wests Tigers need to build the club around.
With Sheens and Benji Marshall now having control of the steering wheel at least it won’t be left to dithering management types to make another misguided mistake.
The issue with Doueihi is he’s going to be a free agent as of November 1 and you can guarantee rival clubs are going to be getting the queue to try and convince the five-eighth to switch allegiances.
The Tigers need to sharpen their pencil and try and get a long-term deal done now prior to the stronger clubs being able to table a deal.
The Melbourne Storm have already had one crack at getting Doueihi on loan for the remainder of this year and with uncertainty surrounding the future of Cameron Munster the Tigers five-eighth would make an ideal replacement.

Mate I had a sneaky suspicion that we might have a crack at him, Jackson to the rescue. Good news and possible good move in retaining JH.
