Bulldogs!

Their big name signings were at the same time as ours - like us they are shedding deadwood and improving their reggies.

A little bit different to the nufties Brooks has had to steer around the park.

But South’s wouldn’t have given Brooks 9 seasons

this team never fails to entertain that's for sure

That wasn't what the poster said - he was creaming his pants over Madge and how great Reynolds was in getting his premiership ring.

In the words of "Gladiator"when he was killing the other gladiators for the benefit of Cesar ....""are you entertained yet""

Hastings won more games at halfback this year than Brooks. Madden won more games at halfback than Brooks. It's just about wanting to move on from a 9 year liability

Wow really - we won 4 games and you are keeping count on who our most successful 7 was

It’s just better this way .. imagine winning every week

Douiehi is on 650K in a 10M salary cap. Roughly 6.5% of the cap.
The rumoured new cap is 12.4M. 850K would mean 6.85% of the cap. It's a reasonable increase when you consider his current contract.

Theory is sound, the pay increase would be equivalent to his share of the cap increase.

Unfortunately he is overpaid at the moment, and does not justify the current percentage of the cap that he is getting

Urgh ? Really . You went there . To Karen jokes ? And the 17, 18 year olds are like”oh good one haha “
hmmmmmmm.
I’m Not gonna bag you . I pity you .

Gee I'm sure your other forum gang are thrilled you are representing them with your d grade humour I bet there wetting there pants over there with your zingers .

Actually there more likely hoping you don't come back seriously let's get this thread back on topic not another Brooks vs everyone bs we all have to have spammed down our throats.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Jeez can't wait until halves talk is over.

Needs to be sorted now.

Agree, and don't most of the squad return for pre-season on Tuesday?

 

[CornerPost]

Who really cares, the Knights are as desperate as us to get success. They are a rabble just like us.

They have been chasing Brooks for a reported 12mths and couldn't get it done by the sounds of things & they threw big money at him.

People keep forgetting that Hastings is being chased by the bottom of the table clubs as the 2nd/3rd choice recruitment target option atm, we need to have a hard look as to why that is the case. If he was good as some on here make it out he would be chased hard by the top 8 clubs rather than next in line behind Brooks and others.

I just don't see Hastings being a halfback at an NRL club and taking them to extended finals success within the NRL within the next few years.

I'm with you mate.. who cares what they think.. just thought it was funny..

 

[jirskyr]

You can have all the pedigree you want but the fact remains that he has not achieved any sort of success in over 10 years in RL, was sacked from this club and another with poor roster decisions being one of the many reason at BOTH clubs.

So lets not pretend that Sheens is some master administrator or coach these days. I respect what he has done for both Canberra and us but you can't keep living in the past.

He's not an amateur.

I like brooks when he kicks the ball dead in an attacking position.
He certainly knows how to build pressure on other teams

Kicked it dead twice this whole year. Brooks has plenty of faults don't know why his critics need to invent new ones.

 

[Telltails]

I'm just sick of everything revolving around Brooks because this club has not been able to see past him for what seems an age.
We have it rock bottom it was the perfect time to cut ties and move on, but it looks like it ain't over yet.

 

[Tigerdave]

Well, not too sure it's a great idea for us or Brooks if he stays. Really felt he'd be better off going to a new team.

It is what it is I guess.

If sheens can’t see that Hastings is a better 7 than Brooks we’ve got no hope

 

[Viking Warrior]

What humour .
I’m genuinely embarrassed for you guys . I came in and defended brooks , and now it’s attacks constantly .
Not that I care too much . I’m not representing anyone .
The way you guys think is strange . It’s gang mentality . Over a forum …..

Well take it to the Brooks thread bud

 

[Pascoes_barber]

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.

That potential was reached long ago - his debut game.

 

[Demps]

Okay, everyone.

I know you're excited because there's people to engage with compared to your usual chosen forums but can we please keep the banter semi friendy...

Personal attacks not needed 😉

 

[Tcat]

Maybe time to lock this thread up. Shit read anyway, no real rumours, just dudes having pot shots at each other.
