Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

After watching Nathan Brown captain Italy to a win, I think WT should make a play, his form was phenomenal and was MOTM, I'm sure he'd like to come home to the Tigers where it all started, he'd be a great addition with his go forward play and experience.

Yes Nathan Brown to lock & Hastings to halfback if Brooks does move on. A lot of movement contingent on Brooks situation it seems.
 
A couple of players who may should be considered as 'squad depth' if Brooks does move on and Jake Simpkin also moves on as some have rumoured are Dajaern Asi & Will Smith.

Smith would be good in NSW Cup for his experience and leadership & can be a backup hooker, halfback & fullback.

Asi has previously been on our radar and, interestingly, finished the Qld Cup playing the last 7 games at halfback for the Mackay Cutters.

Looks like he can’t play until at least May 18 next year

What's your point?
If he doesn't leave - Fair chance he's not in the position he was in to get in strife....

He's a decent loss - Maybe not worth slitting wrists over, But it's not like we've got replacements lined up for him (Still)

I can tell you that Parra are missing Smith.
Not a superstar, But can certainly plug some holes.
 
Interested to see if Brooks actually does leave.

If he does, hopefully we pick up Klemmer + frizell/best

Timing is curious, 2 weeks out from Nov 1st.

There was talk Sheen's was prepping a Lawrence like extension from Brooks and if Brooks has never received that contract this is the perfect tactic to get that contract in front of him asap.

Fun times.

100 percent mate, he looked great at 13.

Also note sheen has a role with the Italy side.

They looked good. Their 9 looked good too.
 
It's pretty well confirmed now that Austin is joining Kelma at Manly.
As Sapartan117 says we haven't bled too much and should look forward to a better roster 🤞
Having said that, the sceptical Cobar is concerned about tall Ken.
I thought he would get a cleanout arthroscopy of that troublesome knee and work on his fitness, speed and weight over the off season. He could then come back as a bigger weapon for us.
Is his departure just speculation?
Has anyone heard about his injury?
I had a great chat with him, brief as it was, but he came across as a very humble man.
He has a great strike record out on the wing and is tall for defusing or scoring off those bombs.
 
Daniel Atkinson one to keep an eye on next game for Italy. He is a 22yo halfback in the QRL, was in the Storm system until this season. Played in the centres in the 1st match and did quite well. If he's any good, I'm sure Sheens is keeping very close tabs with a hole potentially appearing in our halfback ranks.
