Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

I think whoever Newcastle sign in 2024 be that Brooks or Hastings to play 7 the wests tigers will not be releasing either of them for 2023

They want Brooks.

Pom said he intends to sign with them for 2024.

All the pieces are falling into place.

Don't you remind anyone who'll listen how wrong the pom gets it?

 

[Demps]

You think Moses is coming for less than 1.2?
😂😂😂

The $$ isn't public information...

The article said, "upwards of 1m"

Either way, he's earnt it.

Maybe we'll get some long serving players allowance to round it up.

Brooks has proven he can and has played 6
Douhie has played centre

I wish AD was happy to play centre and JH lock but not going to happen

 

[sparci]

on what planet do you guys think MM will rejoin the tigers. That relationship is severed, theres no chance surely

I've heard the same info from some one at the Knights.

They want him asap though but there's some hurdles.

Sorry for posting the pod it was just an opportunity to bag the club.

Yeah I had a listen. I should of known better when seeing Rothfield was a part of it. Not a positive word to say from them.

Moreso
- He's on almost 1m now
- The cap has just gone up
- We're taxing him from a top 4 team

It's going to cost 'at least' 1.2

Hopefully the pom is correct

Matamua

No guarantees mate kids only 19 think he turns 20 next year but no guarantees he’ll be ready Round 1 in 24. If anything he may come off the bench but no guarantees he’ll start let alone play.

He's in the plans.

💯

2023 will be a busy year for him.

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.

The point is exactly as you just made yourself, same or similar ability one is on twice as much if not more than the other. Would not be my first preference by a long shot but, Sheens wants Jacko at 13 and i can see why. So if Brooks goes we need a stop gap half for a season or two Madden would have been perfect but this stuffing around forced his hand.
There is no one better available for 23, 2024 yes there are others Moses ect but not now.

 

[twentyforty]

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

Will he be sacked again if we don't achieve the same level of success? Or have we lowered our expectations? And if so, when did this occur? Rhetorical questions really, just thoughts to ponder? Assuming the team sacked him.

Not every player that goes on development will get promoted to top 30 yes I know he already will join it for 24, but we still have to see how he does in first grade. Now most likely he’ll get a chance after the development players are allowed to play first grade. But if he’s still struggling, it doesn’t guarantee he’ll play in 24 at the beginning. Not writing him off, but also can’t write him in yet.

Hopefully plays all of 2023 in cup and gets his confidence up.

Also, hoping Brandon Webster Manfield top 30 is real news because he is a beast.

Imagine a scenario where we have two halves of the same age, lose one in notorious circumstances, keep the other at high cost, then pay a million bucks to bring back the guy who left, at the expense of the guy we kept.
