Absolutely.
Klemmer / Hastings swap doing the rounds now on social media.
Says a lot if the club is making that move.
Leads me to believe the powers that be must truly not like him that much....
It's whatever though.
We lose him and keep Brooks, we are the real losers in that situation.

No surprise that's your mindset. You've made it abundantly clear that you don't give a shit about the teams success as long as your little favourites get a run, results be damned.
It makes little sense and surely he's slightly self aware and knows that price tag is extremely out of the question.
Wonder how Jacko feels knowing he was Knights second choice behind Brooksy.
What a mess.

when the Rumours were Brooks was going to Newcastle plenty on here were like sure no problem release him for 2023
All of a sudden with Hastings oh no that can't be true
Reason for this rumour is likely because sheen does not view Hastings as a 7 but a 13 and Hastings does not want to play 13 and wants to play 7. Newcastle can provide that 7 role for Hastings and tigers can get klemmer.
When we land Bateman he can play 13
No mention of Douhie going in 2023 either as we have no replacements for douhie or Brooks in 2023
Seems like Sheensy is of this same (incredibly stupid) belief.

I struggle to believe anything that comes from Fox/ DT it’s all about clickbait.
The more rubbish they write the more people look at the article, the more the editors love their BS stories.

Sack sheens imo
If true, can only hope we have a ball playing/organising half on the way for 2023

It must be confirmed then! 😁
Here is an article which provides Sheens'/Marshall's thoughts on Brooks. They have stated his contract will be reduced if he extends which may address some concerns. Shades of Chris Lawrence - one club player.
As for Hastings, it is not his first rodeo so I wish him luck at the Knights.
Tim Sheens wants Brooks back at Tigers... but would ‘prefer it to be at less money’

Very hard to see what there thinking with this 1
But my guess is there brining in Nathan brown to play 13 witch I don’t hate
And they have a half signed for 2024
And they have a lot of faith in the 2 young locks we have matimua and I cannot remember the other players name but he’s from qld
Hastings sees him self as a half so he is going to a club where he can play his preferred position I just hope we have enough leadership around the place without him

That's it .Brooks can't lead a team around the park
Unless it's williams coming here with Bateman

Based on what ? This decision, if it happens, is just one part of the future plan. And the other parts of bis plan may more then compensate.
A Long way to go before you can start shouting Sack Sheens.

An Arab mate of mine explained to me the word Arab actually means like Bedouin, the people of the desert.

If I was the boss I'd say to Doueihi your doneeeeeeihi.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 read an article a few months ago about a trend of players (or family members) managing their own contracts.
I can't find it online but it was off the back of Kayln's father playing hardball with the Knights over his contract.
If AD wants to manage his own contract and believes he's worth $900K, good luck to him.
The market will decide his value. But I have to respect him for taking his career into his own hands.
NRL player managers are up there with shonky used car salesmen, real estate agents and some Aussie journalists.
