Ok I’ll rephrase worse long term 7. Madden wasn’t gonna take over his spot completely and Hastings currently is the only one that could take over his spot. But he’s been our 7 since 2014 and hasn’t lifted to where he needs to be.

If WT are going to be paying a prop in Klemmer $800k next year, then another couple of hundred thousand extra for a half makes sense.
Trouble is neither of the contracts seem commensurate, especially when together they consume some 20% of our salary cap for 2023.

He’s been the 7 for almost the majority of the clubs existence - so yes - the worst! He is shit!

Klemmer isn’t worth $800k.
Should be doing the Wayne Bennett and not paying over $400k.
I’d be lowballing Newcastle. If they’re that desperate they will let him go and cop the loss. If they’re that desperate for Brooks, take him on.
They need both of those guys more than we need them.
It's called the truth, to which some on here can't cope with.

Brooks was 22yo, Taylor was coach but yeah, we didn’t make the 8 because of Brooks

I hear that Mr Bateman is close to coming now. Apparently Sheens is winning him over. Would be a great addition

They truly are the dumbest of the dumb. Ask them what he offers the team and they'll deflect and use appeals to authority, rinse and repeat. Pack of utter morons who don't have enough footy knowledge between them to fill an eggcup.
Although I'm pretty sure some of them are family or friends of him because that's the only explanation for why they display all the symptoms of being dropped on their heads as infants.

Agreed. Soo much evidence for brooks being a significant factor of the problems.
So out of the 2 “long term 7’s” we’ve had in 23 seasons - he’s the worst…

Welsby is a class player, very tough and can play right across the backline. Has a very unorthodox playing style but he is very effective. I will let people watch and judge over the course of the WC. Maybe the only english back (aside from Dom Young) who could be successful in the NRL. The other player would be Jonny Lomax who I think would kill it in the NRL. Love watching him play.
My prediction is Gildart to go back to Wigan with either Smithes or Bateman to come over as a trade of sort to offset any transfer fee.

Not grateful at all that some of those same footballing "minds" drove us to the spoon this year...They need to re-earn cred and respect after 2022 debacle by demonstrating superior recruitment,tangible player development and improvement, and building a team culture!!
Right now,theres little evidence to support the decision making of 2 tyro coaches working with a tired coach who has been canned from his past 3 jobs(including us)..and yet another failed old mate
Sincerely hope their judgement is sound ,visional ,fact based and yet intuitive... and that ensuing outcomes demonstrate just that,but rite now thinking supporters arent oozing confidence over this bunch of "coaching mates",and need to see more than "simply trust me cause Im experienced" story wheeled out yet again..
Were all waiting with bated breath
Gould plays us of a break IMO..as do most clubs
