You can continue to bash Brooks mate but it’s to no avail , people smarter than yourself want him here so end of story .Even the immortal Joey John’s wants him so there are people that see things that you don’t

No problem with Brooks staying but he has never lived up to a 900k price tag surely someone in charge has mentioned that ?????

The thing that makes me angry with this club,is we keep reaching back in the past glory days of the old boys club and favourites...
Sheens has been out of NRL coaching for over 10 years..
Benji spat the dummy and left,but came back living off his glory days..
Farah was basically forced out the door,but always thought he was the WTs...

As for Brooks he has had plenty of chances,his speed and defense are great but cant lead as a halfback should...
Why cant this club have the balls to thank the past heros for what they done,but start looking at fresh younger people not tied to the club to do a job as they are expected to do,whether its coaching and staff.Admin or players...
Api and Paps are Madges buys,Sheens has nothing to do with that recruitment...he better start looking for decent players signed and sealed for preseason so the hard work starts early...
I hope the old boys club really get results this year,because this forum will have a meltdown if we cant win more games than we did last season....
THE BALL IS in their redzone....

I'm hoping the new coaches can succeed I feel if they do we can finally get some real WTs culture in the joint... The DNA as dopey would say.... Much like the Broncos, they have past greats everywhere on their staff passing on wisdom to the juniors

So who is good for your family friend? He's had 4 coaches now, two of which are dual premiership winners and they still couldn't help your boy reach is non-existent potential.

He's now got yet ANOTHER multiple time premiership winning coach to help him. What excuse will you use next if he fails AGAIN?

i'm not a Brooks fan. I was in under 20s and as ive said before his debut match was a curse for us.

But i also see a lot of experienced coaches want Brooks so i really dont get it. He is so polarising. Reminds me of Fitzhenry...bit differeent...

He only claims a premium from the idiots at our club.
Only one club has ever said they were interested in him ...and not at a premium price.
You're dreaming if you think Newcastle will be paying him a million a year.
I said weeks ago I wouldn't be surprised if this was all a smokescreen and they really wanted Hastings.
Seriously ... what use would a half who can't organise a team be to help Ponga in his move to five eighth?
Hastings on the other hand would be great for him.

Haha! none of that is true . The confirmation bias on this forums hive mind is out of control. No wonder there’s been a mass exodus .
It’s been widely reported newy we’re going to take the full freight of brooks contract next year . So I don’t know what you’re talking about .
Good luck with the hive mind , it’s doing wonders for your critical thinking .

Sheens considers Hastings a 13. Hastings doesn't agree. If he can play 7 at the Knights good luck to him.

Meh let's hope it doesn't bite us, would be very tigeresque to move Hastings on and pine our hopes on our nearly 200 game veteran that has never produced.

Anyway it is what it is all I can hope for is we do well next season who ever is the 7 needs to produce or hit the exit door.

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

Yeh rite, some of us are just over the fact we continue with the same bloke who has failed to produce for the club for 10 years.

It's called being real and I guarantee if Brooks was offered same money and longer contract at Knights he would have rode off into the sunset.

He ain't a 900k plus player and at this point unless Sheens can somehow fix him I can't see anything changing.

Madge was not good for anybody what are you talking about

He was pretty good for Adam Reynolds. He's got a premiership ring. Even the great Wayne Bennett could not reach that feat with him as halfback.

At some point you have to stop blaming others for Brooks lack of development. We've all heard Potter, Taylor, Madge, Farah, Benji all being blamed for it.
