Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So Brooks is good enough for better teams than our - But not for you...

How is Pezet stuck behind Hughes? Wasn't Munster leaving a few posts back...
He's straight in for Munster - They've also just released Cooper Johns, (The recognised back up half) So fair chance Pezet is going no where.

Moses - Don't disagree, But getting him back is fantasy atm.... As is Walker.
If Taafe was a better 7 than Brooks, He'd be playing 7 somewhere already...

So - Outside your fantasies, And players not as good as Brooks (Like Taafe)
And your admission that you don't care if we don't have a halfback - Because you just want the one that we have at the moment gone....

I'll ask again, Who you getting?
Maybe we can get Chee Kam back and play him at 7...
It's obvious your point is personal and you don't care if we have an actual half playing there or not.

Pezet is more of a 7 than 6 IMO he and Moses would be the next best 2 Halfbacks available to sign for 24 Walker would be 3rd. Storm will 100% try for Brown if Munster leaves so Pezet just doesn’t slot in unless Brown decides to stay with Parra or go elsewhere. Brooks isn’t a 7 no 7 could fail like Brooks has. He’s probably closer to a 6 but even that’s rare with him. If we land Moses, Pezet or Walker we get rid of Brooks if we can’t have to consider other options. If Brooks stays on after next year doesn’t matter who we sign Brooks won’t lead us to anything. If he can’t do it after 9 years why would next year be any different?

Not at all....
We all want better players - Fair to say we could improve on every player 1-17 no?
Unfortunately, It's not like going down to KMart to by Beans...

They have to.....
1 - Exist
2 - Be available
3 - Want to come
4 - We need money for them
I could go on,

17 Teams in the comp....
I'm all for getting a better one, But we came 16/16 last out
- And there aren't 15 better 7's in the comp... Not yet anyhow

U brooks haters , really need to get a life , hope he stays just to piss u all off . He may not be the best 1/2 but he try’s his heart out every week and has turned into a very good defender

Sure him missing 5-6 tackles a game makes him a good defender 😂😂. As bad as Doueihi’s defence was even he didn’t get that high on a regular basis.

Leinu looks good in a good Penrith pack
I woukd rather Klemmer he looks good in a Newcastle pack

Alongside 2 current origin front rowers and a former origin second rower? I’m not surprised Klemmer looks good in that pack.

Klemmer has been a good footballer for a long time. While he would be a good addition, his game is limited. Leinu offers x-factor that we lack. That ball running and aggression in defence we sorely miss. If we get both I would be happy.

I would be stoked if we got both. Klemmer is a consistently high performer, and brings mongrel to the pack as well as experience to help out the young guys. Leinu has that x-factor as you said, and is showing all the signs he will be a great footballer as well. Both of them, along with Api and Papa is the foundation of a top 8 pack. Let's make it happen!

The number of tackles you miss is related to the number you attempt to make, especially if you are covering for the players either side of you.

If he’s having worse numbers than Doueihi than he’s still defending worse than he is. Brooks isn’t a good defender as much as people think he is. Only thing Brooks is decent at is running in open space everything else from him is just trash.

Even my Penrith Mates don't really rate Staines. He isn't the answer,

Daine L, will be like Papenhuyzen with a decent pack.

I disagree Stains is taller and much quicker and has a bit more ball playing to his game than he has shown when playing on the wing.
Laurie is a really solid defender for his size and is a real competitior, haven’t seen his kicking game other than a couple of dinks in goal but he does place them better then our other 3 halve options.

Exactly - And Hughes is more a 6 than 7... Only playing 7 at Storm because of a dominant 6 and a 1 on fire....

Trying for Brown, And Brown wanting to leave his family and friends in Sydney are 2 different things... Especially for a kid who said he wants to stay at Parra and Money won't bother him so much (2 days ago)

Again, Johns just left and played a bit this year - Who's taking his spot... Pezet (At the least)

Moses has won as many wooden spoons in the last 5 years as Brooks has - And he plays in a rep team.

IF - Fantasy football is ruining your lives man..... IF - If we can get Moses to knock back a million dollars from a top 4 team.... To join a bottom 4 team
mmmm.... Let us weigh it up shall we??

Opinion only, Put Brooks in a top 8 team - They're still a top 8 team....
Key word here is team.
Put Brooks in a bottom 4 team, They're still a bottom 4 team....
Same as if you put Moses, Reynolds or DCE in a bottom 4 team.

Manly has the Australian, Origin Winning halfback - Won 5 more games than us....
In a team full of rep players.
How many players we got in the world cup this year - 3 is it?
And how many of them are tier 1 players....

Again, Buy me a better halfback - And I'll be all for it....
But take you Blake Taafe back to Kmart to help with the Beans

Papalii missed 12 in the GF....
Yet you/we seem excited for his arrival?
Api misses quite a few as well.....

Better buy a second abacus....
Looks like you'll need it

You want to keep supporting a player that’s a failure that’s your choice however I’m over it. I’m willing to try something new and if it doesn’t work out so be it but we all know what the result will be with Brooks. No other team would’ve kept him this long.

You need to find a way to be happy mate. Can’t imagine what it would be like to hang out with you. You must be a very sad lonely angry person. Get a life loser.

Other teams might have had other options - We don't / didn't
All the other crap is exactly that... Just crap
