Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I wasn't thinking money talks, more like he backs his ability and wanted to prove he's worth more coin. The cowboys problem is they've already invested heavily in their backrow. So if he wants more coin, he might have to chase it elsewhere

He's playing for Australia so the demand will be there, the cowboys will do everything in their power to retain him.
He's a brilliant young footballer hey.

Belmore bound imo.
Brooks heading to newy

ANd who do you think we're signing to play halfback if both leave?

 

[balmain boy]

I have nothing to add on Hastings but I can tell you the Brooks deal is done and will be announced by COB today. I stake my reputation on it.

Lol, right. the reputation of someone who only joined the forum a week ago. That's saying a lot!

Albert Kelly will do the job according to some....

Yeah.... Reputation from someone actually asking us what we know as facts on the Brooks topic is hard to come by. The posting style is similar to other personas that have been punted from here before. They start off in a set style then change their posting technique.

That's a question for sheens. Both won't be at WT in 24.

By Cheating the Cap...

They only have 10 players signed for 24 in their 30. They have money.

possible multiple accounts as well, replying to ones self. And didn;t apply for an extension to his self imposed deadline. Very disappointing. We thought we had him. Bring back The Pom.!

Those 10 signed would already take up most of the salary cap though for 24 just by themselves....

Yeah people only focus on the big names coming in 23 but forget they are just like us roster and money wise. They are probably 2yrs roster setup wise infront of us atm. They have cash to spend in 24.

I don't believe that's the case. Hastings has a mentality of throwing his support behind the head coach, whoever that may be. This leadership trait helps to foster a strong culture amongst the team.

I was referring to the relationship that Sheens and Maguire had/ have - not Hastings attitude toward or support of Sheens.
It appears there is no love loss given the swipes Sheens has directed toward Maguire, and Hastings very vocal support of Maguire may have alienated him in regards to moving forward under Sheens. His performance and commitment to the club last season presents as good value to the team moving forward, so the coach must have a reason to see things differently if there is no desire to re - sign him.

Depending on how they have managed their cap, they probably have spent around 4-5 mil maybe a little less than that if they have done real well. So that still leaves around 6-7 mil in their cap to spend for 24. They do have some big money players off contract after next year so that only helps them too.

I see but when it was about Brooks to Newcastle 2022 or 2023 it was all believable ! right ...

haha fair enough... the Brooksy one has been rumoured for months now though from a lot of different sources.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Maybe needs a better name, like Killer or Crazy or Mental ( Mental Ward, I like it).
Bruce just doesn’t cut it, for me anyway.

Not a Bruce Lee fan i take it?

Could Tom Arayas be smoking gun....isn't that Tommy gun in Spanish 🤔

Of course I was CT, just think it lacks a certain something for an NRL forward.
God, I hope your names not Bruce …..,,

If

i doubt they have money with the amount there paying players

All this talk of Bateman and Hastings drama, I'm assuming they're adults and can do a job togeather and do what's best for the team as professionals. We don't all like everyone we work with but we work with them none the less.
