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.

AD is on 600+
You really think he's stalling negotiations so he can sign somewhere for less?

C'mon man.... Get real!!

No way in the world would i accept a trade of Flanagan for Hastings.
However if we shipped out Brooks i would take Flanagan subsidized from the dogs on a cherapish 2yr deal.
Id play Hastings at lock let him pull the strings with the 6 on one side and the 7 on the other. Think Flanagan has been horribly managed throughout his career he's nothing out of the box but nor is Brooks imo

Thats the point, they are of pretty much the same ability.
Why would you get rid of brooks because he cost so much, in order to purchase Flanagan who is cheaper but no better.
When he goes, lets use those funds to purchase a better player for gods sale.

Have you seen his income statement?

Brooks is on anywhere from 750 to 1.2m - no one actually knows the exact figure.

Some interesting movement going down behind the scenes it seems.

Thanks for giving thoughtful response most just sweep this topic under the rug . So I gather its really important that our reserve grade side is Western Suburbs Magpies ? I know one thing in terms of our NRL performance - whatever we have been doing hasn't been working .

Do you know why the reserves are magpies. Its because wests tigers was setup as a joint venture between 2 foundation clubs, It was not a merger as some on here seem to think. One of the stipulations of the joint venture was that both foundation clubs would keep a presence in the next tier down from NRL in order to keep their heritage and to avoid either club dying off and they would also keep and fund their own juniors. Balmain also had a presence in the NSW cup as Balmain Ryde Eastwood until they went belly up.

Nope... But he was signed to play FB at a struggling club.
Off playing really good Footy deep in the finals in that position.
If he did that for less than 500k Him and his manager are the dumbest people in the game...
(I'm confident they're not)

I don't care what Brooks is on, You said we can't have 2 expensive halves
And if we get Moses and Doueihi stays - He's not staying for less than 700k (On his ego alone) to be the superstar 5/8 that he thinks he is....

Doesn't matter how you see it....
He'll milk us for what he can get, And he'll stay - Because no one else is paying him anything like that.
Meaning - We'll still have an expensive halves pairing.

And what clubs don’t have expensive halves partnering? Panthers do, Storm do, we will if we sign Moses and AD together from 24 onwards and that’s the only way I see Moses coming back is if AD will be his partner. So what are you trying to say? Are you saying you’ll be upset because we will have expensive halves?
