Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The best thing about these stories is you can just repost the old Luke Brooks articles with Hastings name copied in. Just run the checklist.

- Allegedly spotted in Newcastle?
- Andrew Johns is a fan quote?
- Made-up “not wanted at WT” talk?

it is the same rubbish he wrote with Brooks, everything grogfield writes about Brooks Hastings Newcastle is BS

Uh oh old red cheeks has had another swing at the tigers & sheens re Hastings in his DT column …

“Sheens is not a fan. He even asked caretaker coach Brett Kimmorley to move Hastings to lock forward last season.

It was a ridiculous positional switch.

Hastings is a halfback and a much better player than Sheens gives him credit for.
He was probably the Wests Tigers’ best player over the entire season.
Yet Sheens has made it blatantly clear he has no future at the club by throwing around multimillion-dollar offers for the likes of Cameron Munster and Mitchell Moses.”

We got the wooden spoon. We are aiming for top4 rep players and he has an issue.with that?

How does he stay employed. Dribble of the highest order. Yes Hastings has upside but he still has nothing on the top halfbacks in the game.
 
Heard a story today about a Broncos young gun who signed a 3 year deal for 2023-25 and he's already trying to get out of it! He changed management to Riolo's mob just after he signed the deal, they shopped him around and got better offers, now they're playing the coercion card and the old broken promises routine. Two guesses who made the offers...
I've also been told WT have met with just about the who's who of players available for 2023 and player managers are only too happy to talk because of the dollars involved. I have no idea who, or even if, anyone has actually agreed to anything but at least we're out there trying.

Doueihi set to manage himself​

Wests Tigers playmaker Adam Doueihi is taking over his own management and has placed a hefty price tag on his services.

Doueihi has been selling himself as a No.7 or No.6 to a rival club and is after a three-year deal worth at least $900,000 a season. I’ve been told by those with knowledge of the situation he wants a minimum of $850,000 for the first season, with his price going up in future years.

With a dearth of quality No.7s in the competition, it’s a good tactic, but it remains to be seen if a club will go for that price. He is a quality player, but has had knee issues in the past. Even with healthy legs, he is going to need a breakout season to reach that level of income.

There are about half-a-dozen $1 million halves in the NRL, headed by Nathan Cleary, Cameron Munster and Daly Cherry-Evans, but Doueihi is not in that class.

The Tigers’ roster is better than it has been and if he can cash in on good service from the likes of Api Koroisau, Jackson Hastings and maybe Luke Brooks he may mount a case for an upgrade.

Doueihi obviously knew about the salary cap increase😂. This article has the negotiations off to a good start.

The halves market - very few worth their dollar value to any team but like anything supply and demand determines worth.
Good reason for Hastings/ Douehi to sell themselves in their preferred positions - and not as a 13 and or centre.
