No coach is going to change Luke Brooks. If we go ahead with the swap deal and lose Hastings and have Brooks and Doueihi as our halves pairing next year we can safely say that we will collect the spoon again. Another extremely dumb decision by this club.

With that forward pack we will be bringing Moses home to partner brooks
They've lost Fifita's 800k and Graham's new contract would have been greatly reduced. Add in salary cap increase they shouldnt have any cap pressure.

Very interesting, thanks for that information as it clarifies some things for me.Technically the word Arab refers to the culture and the spoken language 'Arabic'. Today it includes 22 countries that are connected culturally and linguistically.
Facts about Arabs and the Arab World - ADC
Who is an Arab? "Arab" is a cultural and linguistic term. It refers to those who speak Arabic as their first language. Arabs are united by culture and by history. Arabs are not a race. Some have blue eyes and red hair; others are dark skinned; many are somewhere in between. Most Arabs are Muslimswww.adc.org

Great … a pissant and a midget
Unfortunately, the cap increase may be just an avenue for the greedy, overrated players to command increases not commensurate with their ability.
What rubbish, $900,000 a season, if his ability matched the size of his head maybe $500,000.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.
‘I’d do it all again tomorrow’: The real reason Young quit Dragons role
Craig Young has hit back at suggestions he was forced out as chairman because of his reference for Brett Finch using the club’s letterhead.www.smh.com.au
When do slow centres, useless fullbacks, and sometime 5/8 command anywhwere near this money. Release him, he will be lucky to get any contract.

If Hastings does go..it would be interesting to see who plays 13. We are are left with Brooks and A.D in the halves… the 13 will have to be able to do some ball playing

Both Brooks & Hastings are signed for
Next year, makes you think what or who
is behind all this. Seems more than
just agitation going on behind the scenes.
I don't believe that Doueihi story for one sec
We let Jock go and don't have a half
Replacement. Why would we release

Bateman, I reckon...
The same could be said for Brooks fans. If they can't both play half it should come down to which player is the most valuable to the team moving forward and clearly Sheens opinion in the long run is going to be the only one that matters.
