Interesting....
Liddle -> Api
Musgrove -> Klemmer (based off POMs update)
Lucy -> Papa

Would say we are infront.

Brooks if he is released will be the hard one as can't see any club releasing a NRL quality half/58th a season early outside of us especially as the cap has increased a heap for next season. People want him gone but we don't have anyone better + we are competing with the Knights positional wise on the ladder next year. Would be dumb for us to release him a year early without some distinct benefit. Albert Kelly isn't the answer.

Don’t make me list the thousand other superstars Pascoe never managed to replace.

He's our best outside back even on one leg.

The lure of working with Andrew Johns, Pongha halves pairing, a decent forward pack all must have some level of appeal.
Pretty sure Brooks has got a house in Putney where he grew up - financially set and now his own family. It was always going to be now or never to test himself away WTs

Remember talking about this a few years ago ...didn't his place get robbed

 

[1eyedmel]

you can see how it will go Brooks nails a field goal to send Newcastle into the semis at tigers expense
Karma and footy gods
Just about every player who has left tigers has kicked on

Not this time.

So dragons have taken Liddle and Musgrove on full freight? Did they watch Tigers games this year? My mind is blown.

So Api, Papi, Klemmer in

Hopefully Bateman, the russian prop and some Sheenius

Until contracts are signed I’ll presume Sharon Woods and Andrew fajita are adding more DNA. Probably with Phoenix Crossland stearing the ship.

Yep.

 

[Alltheway]

Best to ignore those members you don't like.

Got to call people out sometimes for just being a duck for no reason but to inflate their ego! Just saying…

 

[BAGNF05]

Maybe Brooks is just after a contract extension. Forcing the Tigers hand to make a formal offer. Doesn't really make sense why he would want to move to another basket case team like the Knights knowing he will be harshly scrutinized.

Hasn’t played with a pack containing the quality of the Knights forwards or an origin class spine player like Ponga. If he fails there you Brooks bashers can carry on.

What about Adam Keighran,off contract at the Roosters, a very good goal kicker.

 

[BAGNF05]

Also probably our premier front rower

He played along side Tedesco, Farah, Marshall.
All spine players.

And was winning prestigious awards at the time. How were his forwards?

 

[Merlot]

Really? I actually spoke to his old man recently. Tigers haven't offered him anything. Gees there's some dribblers on this forum.

arent you the ants pants then

The mail seems to be that Brooks and Klemmer will swap clubs on agreed salary of $800K per year. Tigers will then front a further $300K for Brooks to play at the Knights.

So if we are paying Brooks $300K to play somewhere else, how does that sit with everyone?

Paying him 300k to play elsewhere is better value for money than to pay him $1mill plus to not perform to an acceptable level of an NRL halfback

Until you factor in also paying some nuffie a big wage to play halfback.

We're doing that with Brooks now. Hastings is already contracted for next year and is a huge upgrade at 7 than Brooks

Yeah we really dominated in his first year here.

 

[Camel2281]

He hardly got to play 7 due to having to accommodate Brooks
