Hastings not any time soon as he is currently overseas.
Good news.Situation with Brooks has taken a turn in the last couple days, with his management informing the club he intends to sign with Knights from 2024 after November 1. Clearly a move to make things happen earlier in 2023. Some at the club believe this could be a move to get an official extension presented. Fast moving situation, expected to come to a head in the week.
Should be noted Sheens want's to keep Brooks & is keen to coach him, but obviously if he signs for 2024 best off releasing him now.
Doubt he would publically back a,player so staunchly if he knew he was going to sign somewhere else - not a good look for Sheens or the club.Or Sheens has played check mate. We are only going to get a favourable outcome by publicly backing Brooks and talking him up for an extension. We don't want to come across as desperate
Whoever said something along the lines of: “only the tigers would sign away madden then lose brooks” what’s next weeks lotto numbers??

“I know he’s got a year to go on his contract and I know it’s worth about $900,000 but the Newcastle Knights are absolutely desperate to sign him and they’re throwing everything at him" - Rothfield
Wasn't Rothfield suggesting only a couple of months ago that Brooks was on $1.1M next year?
It will get done eventually though.I don't mean a rush and I don't even mean signing them. It's more about choosing who we sign if any of them.
It will get done eventually though.
Need a lebo halfback. That ok with you?Agreed but I don't know what will happen. Do you ? It appeared to me Brooks was staying but the news yesterday seemed like there was a good chance Brooks was gonski and the POM today basically confirmed it.
Maybe a better way to phrase this is asking is the following spine good enough for us:-
1. Laurie
6. Doueihi
7. Hastings
9. Api
Do we have any backup as well ?

Thanks @THE_POM I wonder given the current situation whether TS could see Jake Clifford as a reform project like Scott Prince. Clifford has the talent & immense kicking game, just needs someone like Sheens/Benji/Farah to harness it.Danny Levi is off to the Raiders, Rua will get his shot. Nu Brown I don't expect to be at the club, his management came to us twice for a upgrade on the contract he was offered & the club wouldn't budge. If Brooks leave I see Hastings going to 7, but Sheens thinks he's an outright 13.

😅joking bro
At present Brooks gone for 2024 not 2023
if we can get Frizell for brooks 2023 then release him
If you get Staines for Peachey
Staines to fullback
Douhie to centre
Laurie to 6
Hastings to 7
Moses is pretty good, he would go well with Sheens, Brad Arthur can't coachI don't like Moses.
Doesn't sit right with me either.I don't like Moses.
