If we get any of these Pommie forwards, it looks like we are paying some transfer fees to get them out of contracts. That Mikolaj is signed until end of 25'.

Gotta put that so called "War Chest" to use somehow 🤷‍♂️

Thats right. Which is a kick Brooks is close to the best in the comp at. His cross field try line kick for the centre or winger has improved out of sight the past 2 years.

If only the centres and wingers (even second rowers) could improve to take advantage of it.

That tactic became less popular with the 7 tackle set. Teams go high and try to land the ball on the try line now.

That rule was bought in to stop team’s nullifying the fullback from way out, it’s ruined the tactic of trying to get the ball back via drop outs. I reckon if your inside the opposite 20 and the ball goes dead from a grubber it should only be 6 tackle restart. We should promote attack not penalise it.

Doesn't matter as the transfer fee is not part of the salary cap anyway.

Jordan Hill returns 🔥🔥

He'll be a first grade winger with great attributes for years to come...

Hopefully with Jnr Tupou playing inside him.

Smh?
Demps usually helps with the lingo interpretation. Sydney Morning Herald is all I got.

I’m happy to give brooks another go I know this is abit of a different situation because we have Hastings and we are at the bottom of the table haha but look at the teams that let there experienced halfs go knights and titans both fall to the bottom part of the ladder look at teams that brought experienced halfs broncos and cowboys both shot up the ladder. Brooks deserves 1 final chance with sheens and benji if he struggles next year that’s it

Not with Nofoalumas deal in front of him....
I also like Scolari more than Jordan...
Something about him.

The Cows and the Broncos brought in halfs with not only experience but experience being successful.

Brooks unfortunately only has experience with failure and doesn't know what success looks like or how to achieve it. He's part of the problem, not part of the solution

Scolari coming back from injury
and plays on Nofa's side right wing

Shaking my head, not in disbelief
In this context more like Woww,
What could be with those two 🙏🏼

The only reason Brooks should be in the team is if Hastings is in the team doing half his work … and all the thinking.
Effectively Hastings plays as as a 7 even wearing the 13.
How Brooks gets halfback money is beyond me.

If he gets a contract extension he'll get a lot more chances than one year.

Brooks can play. He just makes poor decisions or makes mistakes at critical times. Doueihi is worse and he misses a lot more tackles.

I reckon Hastings is the key. Brooks and Doueihi doing their thing around him might work.

It's a number on his back. Hastings is the guy leading the team around.

I like Scolari as well. Scolari on the right and Hill on the left has the makings of an outstanding wing combination. Still, depth in this position is great to have.
