Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[KingRobbie]

From memory Chris Lawrence debuted at 17 could Josh Feledy be the new Chris Lawrence or is he too young in 2023?.

Naden is WT best Centre option but needs a partner.

What is Junior Tupou best position?

Do we have a ball playing lock in our top 30?

No ball playing lock in our 30 at the moment.

Matamua fits the bill, so hopefully he’s a chance of getting upgraded before the season starts.

 

[WT2K]

Josh Feledy joining the Top 30 in 2024.

Scored 30 tries in 21 games of SG Ball/Harold Matthews so clearly has talent.

Josh will be the breakout player this season

yeah I get that, but surely you get better the more you do something.

It’s near impossible to kick a ball with accuracy without time to measure it off your boot. I’m not saying he’s great but lots of times he doesn’t have that time.

Exposed how?
Because you know nothing - And I didn't care to say...

If you were someone, or anyone - I may care to share with you via PM....
But you're a goose - So that's out also.
Good thing most don't have to worry about what a Johnny come lately thinks about them,
What they've seen, Where they've been, What they've done or what they know...

Defensive much?
Coming onto a forum and sprouting obvious lies does not stand you in a great light sonny.
I hope whoever you were attempting to impress has sufficiently become so?

Tastes better when it's free.

No kebab is free, i guarantee if you are given a free kebab you will end up paying for it later that day or the next morning.

It’s because his positioning is shit

 

[BAGNF05]

It’s because his positioning is shit

The times I’m referring to is when Twal takes a sluggish settler on tackle 5 gets rolled onto his back 40m out from the line and Brooks has 0.2 seconds to get a bomb off because he’s got about 6 opposing forwards about to turn him into dust.

Provide footage please.

Don't know him but like the sound of him already. Is he and out and out centre?

I do t think they capture any of Twals work in the highlights 😂

Some irony there

Talking about the roster, I think we only have 9 definite players who would get offered a contract in other clubs, and 3 maybies. Stains, Twal, Brooks, Papal'il' Steff, Pole, Naden, Klemmer, Apisi.
Possibles;- Laurie, Tupou, Tumeth. plus a few that are untried.

Many will disagree, and i welcome the advice as i'm just guessing.
I think we need at least 13 quality players at a minimum.To get anywhere near the 8.
We are doing well, but still have a long way to go ! --2024

lol I think your nappy rash requires attention. My god you could sulk for your country. Keep chasing me around though. Just remember, I said nothing to you to start this. Pathetic

 

[Tucker]

Sprouting Obvious Lies?
Like I said, Just because you don't know - And I didn't say...
That gives you ground to call me a Liar?
It's OK for you not to know...

Why would I claim something, to not divulge what it is / was....
Leaving myself open to ridicule from clueless halfwits? Like you...

He's been back a year, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt...
Maybe one day I'll feel comfortable sharing stories about experiences with him
on an open forum to complete strangers...
Unfortunately for you and any other idiot gossip mongerer that feels like they
"really need to know" like it will fill some void in their intelligence,
that time is not now.
Simple really...

Yes you are lying. You said you have seen it with your own eyes and it was fact that he was disliked O/S. Why should your word be believed?

😂

Only 1 minutes and 44 seconds?

Cannot understand how you brooks supporters cannot admit that he is a half with no great ability.

So if thurston had not had good forwards, or cronk or cleary, then they would have been as bad as brooks.

You brooks fanatics defeat your own argument, you are blaming the forwards because brooks cant play.
And when I point out that in that 4 year period we had good forwards,
You then start to argue that those forwards weren't that good.

if he is as good as you say, will the forwards sheens has set up be good enough in your mind to allow brooks to perform like the champion you brooks supporters say he is. ????????

Talk to you next year to see how its worked out.

Dennis i think you know footy & you know that forwards pave the way for the backs to play. Thurston , Cronk and Cleary ALL rely on forwards dominating,.We all have seen Cleary choke numerous times when the forwards dont put out the red carpet for him .And yes all those halfs would not have been the players they are without their forwards. The only player who could win a game without forward domination was Andrew Johns. Swap Cleary for Brooks.......let Brooks play behind the Penrith pack & see the difference in his game. I dont believe Brooks is or ever will be a organizing half. He has showed time & time again he doesnt have that skill. He is a running 5/8. He will show his skill behind a dominant pack , but we are still missing the organising half. Hastings was the closest we have had in a long time & I hope he doesnt go.
