Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

As I understand it .
Weve recruited no stars in last 12 months now we are going to let Hastings go and keep Brooks ? .Seems to me more of the same over and over .
We can do the odd player swap . We can sign some at back end of their career who can't get a contract extension where they are ! We can upgrade promising juniors who are still too young for Nrl and sign the odd one from Rugby
2023 expectations ? We do same thing over and over and expect a different result ? There's a word for that

Maybe wait until season starts until go all doom and gloom ?

Squad looking better than previous years cheer up
 
There must be something more to this Hastings swap than we are aware of, Brooks was off limits but Hastings was seemingly out the door in a week.
We could have done Klemmer without a swap at all apparently, interesting to see what comes out once the dust settles. Im guessing the Brooks move for 24 is off also.

Sorry Demps, i know you are an AD fan and Leb fan , good on you. Also a Brooks basher, good on you,. I just don't agree. Smith would be a rank outsider, but i tipped Hastings could go, and i think AD should worry.

This is a good post and you did predict this outcome.

I wonder if Farah and Marshall had input? Both are known to have made sacrifices to stay at WTs. Chris Lawrence as well and potentially Brooks if he re-signs. Maybe this is the new culture requiring similar sacrifices on and off the field as part of the team Those who aren't prepared to demonstrate the same commitment can leave?

And if by some miracle he does fire i guess you will just disappear and sign up under another name.

Nah he'll probably be really really happy. No brooks haters want him to play bad. He just does that himself, and they observe it and mention it. Then the brooks cult acts like someone other than Brooks made Brooks play bad.

As we are all aware,

Things move quite fast and sudden in this game.

I'm sure Hastings, himself... wouldn't of thought he'd be moving up the coast to play for the Knights.
 
Hastings has scored himself a hefty pay rise with the Knights.
Once it was clear that Brooks wasn’t going to be released for 2023 Knights changed focus.
Sheens met with Hastings management & made the point very clear that his future was at 13.
It moved fast from there.
The hope is to build a forward pack that Brooks can actually play off.
Bateman deal will be finalised in the week but he will be here.
Very early talk for Brooks but the club would hope to present a restructured deal for 2 year extension but a reduced rate.

Very important meeting with Moses management next week where a formal offer is expected to be presented.

Matamua expected to be elevated to top 30.

they will have to play pogo at 6 but then they don't have a FB. Maybe they can get Tex Hoy back from Hull. Or they might go with gamble at 7 pogo at 6 and hastings at 13.

Yeah, thought about ponga 6
but like you said no fullback.
Jackson won't play 13 there,
He didn't want to play it here
and signed with them to play
In the halves. Their a shambles

Actually, I'll be the first in the line to admit I was wrong.

Unlike you and your little clan of simple bootlickers who would act like a bunch of hormonal teenage girls and drop snarky little comments in game threads whenever Hastings and AD were showing him up in the last two seasons.
