Not really - with so many Hookers in our club he will be busy telling them how great he is to not notice the politics.

As much as Luke Brooks divides opinions, he is under contract for another season on anywhere from $900k-$1.1m depending on who you believe. I would doubt any other club would pay any higher than $600k for him at the moment so we'd have to supplement at least $300k for him to play elsewhere.

Now given we would not get another halfback for next season as good as Brooks, I think it would be stupid of us to let him go. Plus we get a $188k allowance for him next season I believe.

* Veteran and Developed Player Allowance for eligible players who were either developed by the Club prior to becoming NRL players and / or have been a Top 30 player for at least 8 years at the Club or have been a Top 30 player for at least 10 years across the game *

The Salary Cap

Here are the official guidelines for the NRL salary cap, including frequently asked questions like what players can earn outside the salary cap, how much can clubs spend, third party agreements and more.

Why not give the Laurie - Doeuihi - Brooks - Hastings - Korisau spine a try next season under the new style of Sheens. If it works, extend Brooks at that time!

Kade Hill can be moulded as the future over the next couple of years (or Conti) & potentially Isdale/Large after that.

$400K gets you Brodie Croft in the halves. Uncapped gun halves are getting paid $250-300K. There is literally no half who has played 30+ first grade games that you could get for under $400K. Maybe Tanah Boyd.

Wouldn’t surprise me he was a big Bennett fan followed him to Souths from Broncos.

Yeah a caller on 2sm said he's signed with dolphins, what on earth is our club doing ?

Bennett rattled that cage for sure and certain.

Really, I only remember you 2. Must have missed the others. Who is the owner ?
Anyway, alls well that ends well.
Go Tigers.

Kul is the owner.

@batboy @Aubanon @Kul and myself all mentioned it in various threads.

On a personal level, you’re 70+, so you’ve earned the right to do whatever you like in my book, but I only mentioned it because it would be a shame to get banned for something like that.

Keeping threads relevant is generally accepted as standard forum etiquette which I’m sure you weren’t aware of. It was just a friendly heads up to you and others. Nothing more. Don’t read to much into it.

Well after listening to NRL 360 Suaallii is available Nov 1 player option.
How much money would you throw at him!

Dave Furner… another illustrious member of the sub 50% win record club has joined to share his wisdom that set Newcastle and the Doggies alight…

Woods has an option in his favour he can choose to decline and come to WT if he wants.

 

[bathursttiger1]

We lack serious speed and X factor

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow use to play centre and is coming off the bench for the Cowboys... would definitely look at him as an option and bring some spark in our attack and maybe even potentially have a crack at FB and put pressure on Laurie.

Would much prefer him over Brad Parker

Let's not forget he was playing Origin as well....

Drinkwater has been exceptional under Payten and I don't see him letting Drinkwater go, he won't be moved to 6 cause of Deardon and Sheens has a good relantionship with Payten as well so could maybe be something there

Who hasn’t been exceptional under Todd, just look at Hess you wouldn’t pay a cent for him over the last few years now he’s on the best form of his career.
Maybe the astute signing would be Payten.

To be fair in 2020 as defence coach the Knights finished 7th on the ladder and let in 374 points in 20 rounds. This year they are 14th and let in 522 points by Round 20 the worst in the comp at that point and on 624 from 23 games.

Dogs were at 504 points and last in 2020 for defence (20 rounds) and this year after 20 rounds and only 427 points let in (11th in defence). His record as defensive coach seems to be one of improvement. He was also assistant at Cowboys when they won the comp in 2015.

Watched the interview with Adam on Tigers site , they ask him about his contract and I don’t think he was happy about it , said he’s got nothing to do with it leaving It to his manager , I think he will sign else where and head for early depart in Off-season , need another player signed I think as he won’t stay
