Anyone else remember the Moses + Brooks halves pairing?
Why on earth do any Tigers fans want to re-create that?

Mark of the modern world - everyone expects a handout and a prize for doing SFA.
I hear you champion @bptiger 0 but Trell was a different situation. Our chairman spoke out, we had $$ and we assumed that the money/opportunity would win.
This time round, there's been little said from the club except clarity about the offer, and fully knowing that ours is just one hat in the ring.

Agreed but Saw that post from Lebanese coach aspiration member
Mate not the first meeting, he’s had loads of time to think about it.

Ahh the good old days Moses stifles Brooks, Benji Stifles Brooks, Robbie Stifles Brooks... wash rinse repeat.
We backed the wrong horse way back when Moses turned out to be the dominant half by the length of the straight. If Moses does come hand him the key's and Brooks goes to being what he always should have been a running 6.
Pretty sure since Wests Tigers have been around (at least), there have been more Lebanese players playing for us than the Dogs.

Tbf they were babies back then - Moses wasn't half the player he was he seems to have developed a lot not only as a footballer but as a person as well
Brooks needs a 7 who is willing to take control and allow himself to play second fiddle and be a threat with his running game.... He's very alike in terms of playing style to Dylan Brown, we know that combination worked pretty well
Personally think Moses knows he can get the best out of Brooks and he can also benefit off the back off it - hope we get to see it unfold

Imagine if the plan was to have doughi and mosses in the halfs and get rid of brooks I think this would be a better halfs pairing but I think brooks been here is part of why Moses is considering us
The last time they played a full season together they were the youngest halves pair in the comp and took us to 9th. We should have made finals, and may well have if we weren’t carrying a guy who was betting against us.
There are plenty of reasons to expect that they would be a far better pairing now.
Whats that?
Jarrod saffy has Lebanese heritage
No way that was the thinking finnzo, it was Brooks and Moses , or Moses and someone else they have their eye on with speed. We don't have any idea who they are trying to buy , except Moses.
Have no doubt they know that Moses is 50/50 at best, and have contingency plans for other signings. Much will happen over the next 12 mths, it's early days yet.
