Well we did come last so yes he may well look at changing all of them
I think if Sheens thought Hastings was the answer at 7 he would let Brooks go 2023 think Sheens is happy with hasting playing 13
Think he may be looking at a Moses or Dylan Brown to play 6 / 7 yet does not necessarily want to lose Douhie but may play him at centre as we do not have one and he has played it well before.
Perfect world he probably would like to play Hastings as a 13 question is will Hastings want to do that or will he want to play 7 ? if he does then he will leave
Same with Douhie if he sees himself as the 6 and Sheens sees him as a centre and Douhie wants to play 6 then he will likely leave
If Brooks just wants out and to chase cash at Newcastle as a 7 then he will leave
It may well be all three are gone in 2024
Sheens isn't stupid, I am more then sure he'll keep on saying we're keeping Brooks until Knights offer 800K and we chip in 200K minimum.
If I was the coach I'd get rid of Brooks for free.

Agree if he wants to play Hastings at 7 he will get rid of Brooks 2023, just not sure that is what Sheens wants from Hastings
we will see
Pretty sure he rates a 6 we have coming through
- He's only looking for the right 7 to bring him through behind.
Which out of LB, JH, & AD is the right 7?
Answer = Probably None.
Might even go get Tane Edmed back from Yawnion....
He only left because he wanted to play 6, And the club wanted him to play 9.

I'd be happy if we got some awesome forward signings, imo backs can be developed under Sheen/Marshall. Most of our recourses should be used to get a forward pack capable of taking us "forward"

I was going to ask if he was related to Steve, then I saw the colour of his hair.
I hope he gets his speed from his mother because as much as i liked Steve if he was more than 3 meters short of the try line he wasn't going to get there

If there were blokes capable of running 150m plus every week and tacking at 98% efficiencies they wouldn’t be playing reserve grade.
He has put on weight, not sure what your talking about?

We have to as a club get away from signing promising reserve graders we have done 10 years of that which hasn't worked out to well. I'm OK for paying overs for Klemmer. He has mongrel and can teach our young props
Been closely attention to the squads in the world cup.
Surely there's a few unknowns waiting to be unearthed...
I watched this lad the past two weeks, playing for the Cedars named Khalil Rahme.
I'm not saying we should sign him but he's a run of the mill front rower that plays like Woods and RCG.
Commentators mentioned he's a lower grader at Doggys and has no contract moving forward.
Surely some club would look at players in this tourney and find some value in some of em....

Sorry to disagree Happy, but Moses is just scum.
If he had any pride he wouldn't be able to tank the way he did in order to get a release.
Wouldn't want him back after what he did and same goes for that piece of shit WhatsThe MatterSon.

Roosters signing news from NRL.com “
The Roosters have announced the signings of Jake Turpin and Jaxson Paulo while also confirming Angus Crichton has extended his stay at the club.
Crichton has re-signed on a new two-year contract which will take him through until at least the end of the 2024 season while Paulo (two years) and Turpin (one year) will join the Tricolours in 2023.”

I am all for prioritising juniors and retaining the good ones, but the Brooks experiment has been going on 9 seasons, it is way past time to stop the rinse and repeat formula that has failed us time after time

Kaeo Weekes is contracted to manly until the end of 2023 stuck behind Turbo and Garrick ,might be worth looking at.

Good to see the Curtis Rona rumour can be put to bed....signed with the Titans if someone hasn't already mentioned.....😉
Depends on who we snap up in the market.
I don't know if it's a case of we let them go or if they will go.
Brooks - New Challenge & get out of a setup that just hasn't worked = Mentally refresh
Hastings - wants to play halfback , if we don't agree = plays for a club that does
AD - wants to play 5/8th, if we don't agree = plays for a club that does
Laurie - wants x years but we give z years = goes to a club that offers what he wants
His frame is folding out, over the years the talk has often been him ending up in the backrow
