I wonder if Hastings is too difficult. I don't even like posting this type of stuff. I suppose we don't really know what goes on.

Wouldn't be suprised if Hastings tweets about it he can't help himself

Goody bag says that Hastings will be a bulldog for the 24 season.

It's not like we have Tommy Turbo with Garrick as a back-up is it. It's exceptionally poor.

Laurie was so good one week last season and average for a bunch of it. Doueihi has his moments but he does seem to be too slow at fullback. Staines was a backup at Penrith.

Can Laurie handle the halves ?

I'm a fence sitter but how anyone can figure out our spine for next season astounds me.

Read the articles where Sheens make comments about the game he wants the team to play.

What do you think it’ll be?

I think Stains will kill it at fullback. Lauries a maybe, dont expect miracles first up. The other 2 will not be their at years end. If Brooks stays i see Api playing in the halves with him, till such time as Sheens buys or promotes a decent 5 and 6 ,.,. The aim i think is 2024 .

Correction i meant 7 and 6 .

Fast elusive types - 2023 Brooks and Laurie, Staines at 1, Hastings at 13

I should mention Laurie throws a great pass and plays like a second 5/8 from fullback.

Welome back, the old EARL returns,

How many people have said Klemmer and Brooks moves are done now? We must be close to double figures.

The noise around Brooks just appears too much at this point at time. I reckon he is gone.

I love how Crawleys speculation article is "BREAKING". Such a scumbag

Is the noise coming from the correct source(s)?

Ben Houston

I'm sure he will be a great signing for us, much like John Grant and Triston Reilly.

The Pom stated that Brooks management had informed the club he was signing elsewhere. It could be wrong because the situation can change but I assume this happened.

Assuming it's true we should release him. He isn't that good and we need a rebuild.

Oh ! So very ( veeriee) uperclass English. HA! love it!

Ben Houston, captain of Randwick Rugby Union Club, one to keep an eye on. A big, mobile prop/second-rower, made the most tackles in the Shute Shield last season and has decided to try his hand at league. Sheens mentioned at this stage he is on a train and trial contract but is fitting in very well.

He has a minimal league background but is big, mobile and aggressive… we can see a bit there.
We will see how he goes in the trials.

You are confident mate but I can't see it happening let alone working. Brooks looks to be gone. Laurie is completely unproven at NRL level in the halves. I can't see Hastings being able to play that lock role all season.

Staines at 1 may work.

I'm becoming like Happy Tiger.
