Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

bit harsh we will see what Sheens wants to do I guess

Based on years of evidence.
2018 half-back nonsense aside.

Sheens might not have a choice in the matter.

How is it going to look when an employer denies an employees request two years in a row?

Unfair and unreasonable to force some one to stay in a job against their will...

Y'all thought the Moses break down was bad.... can't wait to see how the media paints this narrative.

IF Brooks wants out, which is how it g
does appear.... he will get his wish.

if we do not have what Sheens deems a better replacement for 2023 at 7 then I don't think he will let him go to strengthen another squad.
Has he really asked for a release 3 times, the nrl360 crowd says he has that doesn't mean much ...
If Sheens doesn't see Hastings as a 7 he won't play him there
Agree though if Sheens wants to play Hastings at 7 then sure he will release brooks
I don't think he bough Staines so Laurie could play 7 either, rumour were weeks ago Laurie would be given a go at 6
we don't have a centre he k own Douhie can play there and has done so that ticks a spot for 2023
2024 completely different story he goes to Newcastle and by then we sign a 7

 

[weststigerman]

Sheens has coached Hastings in one match. He played in the halves.

Seems at odds with the theory Sheens is viewing him as a 13 only.

Sheens has coached Hastings in one match. Funny how he played in the halves if Sheens considered him to be a 13 only.

Recall he played pretty well at 6.

Exercise common sense.

Even if you don't believe the reports of this being the third time Brooks has asked for a release - where there is smoke, there is fire.

Pom has alluded to this information being factual so if you trust his sources, it's there for the taking.

Yeah, Sheens is a fan of him and wants to work with him.... but all signs are pointing to the feeling isn't mutual.

Adam plays 7, Laurie plays 6.
Hastings stays at 13.
See ya Brooks.

Problem solved.

 

[tony soprano]

2024 maybe but no reason to release him 2023
Don't think Laurie will be the 7 in any case surely

Doesn't have the kicking game

 

[TigersFan101]

I’d say it’ll be 6. Laurie - left side 7. Douhei - preferred right side 13. Hastings control the middle

I know some one who does.....

Won't be playing centre either.

Yep, 2 x 5/8s and a ball playing lock

Ya heard it here first.

Staines at 1

Sheens seem to like this idea.

I've come to the conclusion that this forum is split down the middle.
Group A. Quite highbrow for a league forum, they post well thought out and constructive thoughts.
Group B. Toothless, illiterate halfwits, the type you'd assume were Souths fans.

It's Souffs - you spelt Souffs wrong. Take yer false teeff out and vat's Souffs.

Sheens Might even give Laurie a roaming license

 

[tiger_one]

Lots of speculation across the Wests Tigers nation.
As if we might know the workings of the recruitment plans well underway.
Gotta be patient.
When 1 November comes, it will be like 25 December.

Remember our last decent 7 ?
Robert Lui....

He wasn't overly fast either.
Just controlled the game and iced some kicks.

Allowed Benji to create with flashiness from 6

That'll be 7 AD x 6 DL

Makes too much sense.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Joe Ofahengaue (27), Alex Twal (26), Isaiah Papali’i (24), Alex Seyfarth (23) the oldest forwards at WT as it stands for 2023.

Our team is barely old enough to go on the rides at Luna Park.
We sure need some old heads.

I don’t mind old heads but ones that can still make post contact meters or at least offload the ball to promote second phase footy.
Tamou was only good for press conferences.

Would enjoy seeing Laurie x Douhei play off a good forward pack in Klemmer, Stef, offa and pole

AD at 7 ... don't think so
think Brooks is keen for the cash at Newcastle doesn't mean he is not like any other player even papali who signed from Parramatta, players can sign a year out.
If and that is a big if he did ask for a release that was when madge was coaching
Don't think Sheens will let him go in 2023 unless Frizell is on offer at newcastle

I dispute that, I’m in the middle of nowhere

13 Hastings
9 Api
7 AD
6 Laurie
1 Staines

That's a Sheens-esque spine, imo.

With the forwards you mentioned.
That can do some damage and compensate for our average backs.

Hmm, AD at 7, Laurie at 6 and Hastings at 13....that could work.....really work well.
