That's all true but don't forget, it's the team which finished last that we're talking about - no surprises there!

Thats the point isn't it. People saying our terrible season was all on Brooks when the other 2 were just as bad and yet some on here seem to think Hastings and Douehi should be our 6 and 7. Lord help us if thats the halves pairing we trot out with next year.

Brooks season was atrocious no doubt and he definitely needs to go but i'm getting a little bit tired of people throwing Hastings up as the answer. His win record wasn't much better at 4 - 16. Douehi's win percentage was even worse than Brooks.

Yeah....
I wonder when someone will make the correlation between getting the spoon and the players that lead there...
Hastings talks well and seems to know the game - Doesn't make him an accomplished NRL half.
Doueihi hasn't proven anything.... Does some things better than the other Halves,
Does others much worse... And has a long list of things he'd need rapid improvement on.
I wouldn't be spending more than 5-600 on anyone.

With Brooks leaving seemingly growing legs....
I don't know which way to go - Or which way they'll go....

The good teams are seemingly running with a 5 man attack - The spine + Lock...
I think Hastings worked well at 13, If he sees himself as an out and out 7...
We either play him there or he chases it elsewhere....
Weather he gets it or not will remain to be seen.

At the end of the day, We're so lacking is many other areas
- At this point (And has been the case for years) I think the Halves matter little,
And are the least of our problems.

Well if they want attacking footy from their halfback, Brooks won't feature in those plans.

Brooks touched the ball plenty this year too, he just did nothing with it at half.

Probably forced to give it to Seyfarth or another match winner....

Hastings isn't a 7...

Except when he displaced Brooks from the 7 and played 7 and did an outstanding job playing 7.

Outstanding?
You for real?

He was better - You reckon any top 8 teams are lining up for his signature after what we saw this year.... Doubtful.
 
Cultured_Bogan said:
Oh OK, Hastings had Kikau, Latrell and JAC running off him did he? I must have been in a coma those weeks...

No - But you missed the point, Again.
Hastings nor Doueihi nor Madden did any better with the current side.
I don't expect much more from them next year without significant squad improvement.

Odds they link WT to him once Nov 1 hits?

To be fair, I know he is mentioned as playing lazy and not getting involved but for us a back rower that makes tackles and avg but on his day is the biggest strike weapon in the comp is probably the best signing we could ever make.
Even if his salary was closer to the 1 mil mark then 500k.

Sometimes I wonder; why the f.., would he even talk to Mansour. I just don’t understand that logic, if it’s true of course.
And Woods as well.
I actually thought we might have been going forward but everything seems to be turning negative again.
I also mentioned that Kenny may be going, anyone know the facts around that little story.

Due to their age our football staff see him a a spritely youngster

Fox sport saying Tigers taking Andrew Fiffita fot 1 yr . The guys been on 1 leg for 2 yrs lol
This would be as bad as the Storm 2nd rower who arrives with more bandages then a mummy!

Hope this is wrong, or Tigers fans will leave in droves.

You do realise that statistically Fifita out performed all of our props this season?

Surely Sheens would prefer Matt Groat

Compared to the last few seasons with Brooks.

Expectations are low at the Tigers.

Exaggeration is on point it seems though....
He was a 5/6 out of 10, And that's being gratious...
About the same as the other Halves - Madden was maybe a 4.

Aim higher.

He's had years of proving that if it's all on him - It just won't happen.
He's not the player he was considered to be (Losing his origin spot confirms that)

We would be banking on him, And he's not the guy you can bank on...
He'll need to go to the Roosters or a team that can do it without him.
We're not that team - Any money spent on him would be wasted.

lol I don't like Flannagan but heavily subsidised by Dogs, just looking at 7's as I don't think Sheens will play hasting there even if we move Brooks on

Interesting comment from Pom;.

"If Brooks leave I see Hastings going to 7, but Sheens thinks he's an outright 13."

Unless a signing is made there may be no other choice.

I agree if we don’t sign a 7 Hastings will go play 7 if we do release Brooks early we will literally have no other choice.
