Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No point in discussing the Jock vs Luke thing
King Tim loves Brooks so that's it !
So Tim its on you . Your call hope its a good one

From my point of view I just do not see what if any hype there is in Luke Brooks. Yes he can tackle and yes he is a goer and has speed,BUT he cannot organise, make correct decisions especially on the 5th, kicks out on the full,fails to find touch,does not kick 40/20s and seems to religiously fail under pressure. I quite often read on here how the forward pack is to blame, but seriously a good half takes the pressure off through a very good kicking game and right decisions to create chances within a game, I don't see that happening very often. I also personally think Madden will be a very good halfback in the future years and will surpass Brooks at a younger age. Just my thoughts, but I guess we will all find out.

Wtf

Who cares. Good on him if he does.
He might be starting 13 but he isn't even close to being same ball park as Api.

We get a very clear upgrade in this position, we have a younger player who is right now comparative to Liddle in Simpkin and we have some other good young hooker options plus no doubt Brown staying who was better this year.

We have too many Hookers in the squad count so someone had to go, we made the right choice on this one. I like Lids and hope he nails it at the Dragons. Had a huge amount of potential just struggled alot over the last 2yrs to make the spot his own.

I believe Tigers trying to off load Simpkin as well

Most teams really only have 2 hooker options in the squad.
We have 5 atm on the roster for next year if Brown stays. So some have to give to allow roster spots for other positions. I like Simpkin but is what it is if he goes because we have Api for 3yrs & he won't get much gametime unless Api gets injured.

Watching the finals this week it's evident we need to bolster our front row amongst other things.

Looking at the Sharks and Raiders prop rotations, any of there's or Leniu from Penrith would be a welcome addition.

Yeah simpkin is decent for a young guy but tbh if they think da Silva is the long term option we’d be better off going api and brown for next three years until he is ready

Anyone watching the finals? Great to see Nofo get knocked out being with Melbourne. LL has been horrendous for the Cowboys.

I have not watched LL at the cowboys how bad has he been 1 game or most of them ?

Was the moylan penalty fair? Seemed a little unlucky to me but not sure of the rule

Not worth 750 that’s for sure

 

[boonboon]

Wish he was horrendous for us with 160m and 25 tackles, 3 tackle breaks and only 2 misses despite it being an incredibly high quality game

Brown is not really a 9

Like lodge and TPG???

Make a play for the hammer

He's too good of a player to simply play a handful of minutes off the bench. If we got him he'd immediately be our best outside back. We need pace and X factor. I'd rather throw 500k at hammer than 350k for Staines.
