You can’t tell me that’s not a handy pack

Shame about the 1-7

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Adam won’t be extended for the time being.
He needs to show his ability in the halves at the moment. Sheens isn’t convinced either.

Love that from Sheens. Players should have to earn their next contract. It shouldn't be handed out based on potential. If they go and sign somewhere before that happens, then it is what it is and their heart was never really in it.

If Brooks can't fire behind that, what excuse do you think the Brooks cult will come up with?

Klemmer is too tall

 

[THE_POM]

What's the word with AD?

Won’t be here at his current asking price, club won’t even entertain it.

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.

Thanks Pom. That clears things up a little for me regarding Hastings. At the end of day players will follow the $$

Hard to know what's really going on with anyone but didn't Brooks or his agent say a while back that he was likely to go elsewhere when his WT deal is up at the end of next year. That said, now looks like we are looking to swap Hastings for Klemmer with the Knights. And what happened to the story about Woods returning to play a final year with us?

 

[TigerSJ]

Just a thought, but maybe Hastings recovery from a fairly serious injury might not be so easy and he wasn’t the most agile or speedy guy to start with. Perhaps Sheens has a crystal ball!

 

[diedpretty]

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.

I'm not a brooks fanboy - i'm one of the few who think Brooks, Douehi and Hastings are all shit. The sooner the club rids itself of all 3 the better.

Any word on Nathan Brown and Aaron woods?

I'd say we will get Woods now we have klemmer

 

[ElleryHanley]

It is now, was never intended to be, but Hastings wants to be a half & saw no future here for that.

I believe he’ll be used as 2nd row, other signings may determine that.

Is Klemmer for 23 only? (i.e. his current Knights deal)

Or have we included an extension?

If it is for one year only and big Klemm then bolts, it is a fairly bad deal losing Jacko.

Do you know if Klemmer is being extended?

 

[hobbo1]

Another extension for Brooks...
This guy better have a stand out year in 2023.

The guy owes us, the fans, something.

So with this “new pack “ they’ll make an extra 10 meters in a set .
Brooks will bomb it to there 30 then what ?
Same old shit 😂

 

[SeanT]

I wonder how the club views Doueihi now as well. A 2 year extension for Brooks is 3 more years and the club appears to want to purchase a half.

At his asking price of 900k the club should view him from the rear view mirror speeding away 🤔

Hopefully only a T&T deal

3 year deal for Klemmer.

Nathan Brown is still in the works but feel now Bateman is done Matamua will top the spot for Brown in the squad.

Don’t see a spot being used for Woods.

The old over and end kick. Of all the Tigers on field issues, that kick from 50m over and end that does nothing annoys me the most 🙄

 

[SeanT]

3 year deal for Klemmer.

Rather Matamua. The kid has some talent from what he produced.

You might see 2 out of 3.

Moses in, Doueihi out.
