Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think 50% 50% if Sheens allows Brooks to go in 2023 then absolutely Newcastle
I have a feeling maybe Newcastle might have a stab at Hastings and if we get Moses I think Brooks may end up at Parramatta if he does leave in 2024

Either way Moses woukd be a good edition back at the club the bloke can play

AD is on, what... half Brooks salary?

I'm not sure we can afford 2 x 1m halves...

We aren't Melb or the Roosters.

Financially
AD & Moses makes sense.

What would you rate in 1980's fullbacks? Top 5 ?

I have heard that the Knights come the 1st of November will be launching a great offer for Mr Hastings, as they will not be waiting for brooks?

Also contracted for 2023 though...

Waiting either way 😂

HAHA - Was done to Newcastle a couple blinks back...

These clowns really are just making shit up.

Please no.

Who the hell would think Dylan Napa could be an advantage for the WT's.

If Sheens won't release Brooks early, what makes you think he'll release Hastings early?

Gotta free up that money for Moey.

Release em both.

 

[Masterton]

I'm not saying you're all delusional about the possibility of Moses returning, but I won't be drinking any Koolaid that's offered to me.

Brooks hanst Always been on this 900k - 1 million deal like hebis getting in 2023
Do think Sheens will offer 700k with long service discount applicable around 500k on salary cap. He may take that if he wants to play with his mate Moses and be coached by Sheens.
If he chases the cash then for sure Newcastle would offer 850k and he would be gone in 2024
Think this is a big contract for Douhie, I would think he would be looking at 700k also

Two turnstyles in defence in the halves,i know you like your lebs but that would not be a good combo imo

A media report said something like $650k PA for AD which over the course of his contract years would make him our 2nd most expensive player behind Brooks by about 100k PA pending reports as Brooks has been heavily backloaded. It's actually not as big as gap as people think

if Moses is coming in 2024, release Hastings and Douhie you have your Moses money
Also I think our 2024 cap is pretty good anyway

If the report of Sheens talking to Moses makes sense as 4 into 3 won’t work i believe.
It’s what I have heard so not so called shit
Just what I heard.

newcastle for 2023 are screwed either way. They will get desperate and sign Keighran to play 7 and centre for them in 2024

 

[Dennisspicer1]

There has even been talk of a Hastings\Flanagan player swap for next year.

NO NO NO NO, BROOKS GOES AND WE GET HIS CLONE TO JOIN THE WTs.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

If we sign Moses and Hastings wants to play 7 in 2024 then simple he will leave.
Said last week Newcastle will make a play for hastings to be 7
I hope we can keep him as a 13 though
either way fun times ahead

 

[WT2K]

Moses and AD. Get it done sheensy

 

[diedpretty]

Wasn't that one of the reasons for Sheens sacking?

No - he was sacked because of poor performance from the team.

I think you're wrong...

Brooks, one foot out the door already.
Too much going on for it not to make sense.

Funny thing also is... Parramatta thought they were slick regarding the Papalii situation, trying to get him to back flip.

Now we might also take their grand finalist #7 too.

 

[Odessa]

No - he was sacked because of poor performance from the team.

I read it another way he was putting pressure on senior players Benji and Farrah for not performing like they should and they got rid of him and that goes to his quote senior players get rid of coaches that was on the Matty Johns show or Matthew John's interview after he was shown the door and why he did not speak with them for years
