Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

from all reports he has not asked for a release in 2023, he has advised in 2024 he is signing with Newcastle.
The same way Api and papali signed with us 12 months out
If he hasn’t asked yet it he will be asking soon. Unless he’s fine with playing out his contract, he will be asking for the release. Its only a matter of time but if he is going to Knights in 24 I wish him luck but he hasn’t worked out for us.
 
Newcastle may well look at Hastings to play 7 if Sheens insists he is a 13 and he wants to play 7 in 2024. Wouldn't rule that out just yet
He bought a house in Cronulla not too long ago. Don’t think he will consider Knights. Brooks though has been spotted looking at places to live/buy in Newcastle though so he’s interested at least.

agree he may well ask but Sheens won't strengthen another side by giving Newcastle a 7 in 2023 if he does not have what he thinks is a suitable replacement. If Sheens doesn't see Hastings as the 7 then he won't release Brooks in 2023 so Hastings can play 7 then sign Moses or someone in 2024 to play 7 and shift Hastings back to 13.
He will keep Brooks in 2023 and tell Newcastle to get stuffed you can have Brooks in 2024

mate I am not disagreeing about 2024 he has said via his manager in 2024 he is interested in Newcastle. None of that means he will be released in 2023 though.
Parramatta as an example didn't release Stef to us early

Maybe and maybe not. Its no secret he’s already asked 2 times for the release both times was denied. All he has to do is play the mental health card and he’ll be let go. Don’t know if he will actually do that like Moses did but if he does he’s outta there.

if we offer Hastings 500k and Newcastle 750k I'd say he would go to Newcastle if he wants to play 7 regardless of where he lives now

We messed that up we should’ve asked for him early for them to get Matterson. Tigers upper management messed that up for us.

last time which he denied was when Maguire was coach.
The reporters can't even get his salary right yet some believe he definitely asked for a release because it was reported as such.

Don’t forget though his family live in the Illawarra region. If he moves up to Newcastle he’s further away from them. The only team that may be a threat is the Dogs. Don’t think Knights are considering him based on how much they have openly admitted they want Brooks. He won’t go to Newcastle that I’m certain of.

They change the salary to make the story interesting. But they are correct though that Brooks is 100% our highest paid player at the club. If he’s not on a million he’s certainly close to it.

dogs wanted Sullivan and have been officially told he is not getting a release from Dragons. Shock horror same as Newcastle may be told in 2023 Brooks is not getting a release either.
Now that dogs still need a 7 they may well come looking at Hastings, I think if Hastings wants to play 7 he will go to Newcastle or dogs if we dont offer it to him and he wants it.

for one year 2023 he is on 900k he hasn't been on that for three years

Have to wait and see but Knights he won’t consider unless he family moved with him. He’s openly admitted how much they are involved in his life. Grew up in the Illawarra region which is probably at least why he bought a house in Sydney as he’s not too far away from them. Think for now he’s staying in Sydney. Only clubs I see him possibly considering are Tigers, Dogs and Parra but that one will depend on what happens with Moses.
