My sentiments exactly Baggers, you've summed it up perfectly.
When he got Daly M ½ wasn't Cleary the coach?
We haven't had too much trouble in Madge's tenure to get a 5th tackle kick in a reasonable position but I feel it's the way we did it.
It's how quick and effective you keep pushing the D backwards is what matters.
Stretching the D and putting them under pressure is what the good teams do.
As you said, hopefully with a better pack we can get the odd offload and get a broken D line as well.
If we do that, not only will Brooks benefit from broken play but other running backs like AD, To'a and Laurie/Staines can benefit too.
We should refer back to your post next season because this may happen. 🤞🤞

wasn't that Greg Bird? Or is NRL really just a heard of stray dogs marking their territories everywhere.

To me AD looks like a Manu type, talented, tall, strong and should be a great IC or fullback. He needs to get speed in those legs.
I've always maintained that great teams have tough forwards and fast backs.

Agree with this.
Both will be very different in 23 to the 22 season.
Sheens attacking style suits both of there default playing styles.
Madge didn't coach players to their strengths he was always trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Sheens is more about using players strengths and moulding game plans around them.
I actually don't want to see AD leave, think he does offer something for us. Just want AD to be trusted with a position, he owns it - rather than being moved all over the park because of teams needs.
Agree with the tall comparison, that's about all.

You can see why people outside of the Tigers rate Doueihi highly, it's because most will only watch the highlights, and he is always in he highlights when he plays.
I agree he was disappointing last year, but he wasn't alone there.
So he's not worth $900k (not yet at least), but he shouldn't be so easily discarded either.
He's got points in him, not all players have that ability, but he is unique also; He's big and strong, but cumbersome at times, although he usually beats the first defender. He passes well, but opts to run it or for a big cut-out far too often. He has a dangerous spiral bomb but doesn't seem to kick for field position often enough to show any skill there.
I still think he's a guy we should be working with to fit in our system, but I can also see that it will be a challenge to do so.

I’m happy with. AD and Brooks to start in the halves , if AD is no good he can move to centre
Staines to F B
Laurie to 5/8we can only try
out pack will complete
Klemmer , Appi , Steph
Pappi , Joffa , Blore

Wonder if we miss out on Moey we go all in on extending AD + Brooks... or if we explore other options.
Also could we see:
7 AD
6 Brooks
🤔

6 Brooks

I think both will be given 6-8 weeks with a better pack to prove their worth. At that point it becomes a distraction if we haven’t made the call.

Our pack competes until we lose a couple to injury. The depth guys aren’t great at the moment.

Now in the fencing business. Still getting big money to get splinters.

If we see this then we know we made a mistake.
I haven't heard or seen AD express any halfback interest at all.
I read a post saying he has offered his service as a 7 or 6 to other clubs.
Not directly from AD though.

Getting splinters in his hands now, would have been getting them in the butt before from sitting on the pine for extended periods.

I think with the forward pack Brooks and AD could still do well in 2023
