Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If he was playing in a different position there would not be this conversation. The fact is, he is playing in one of the most important positions on the field and it is part of his repertoire that he seems to not have the ability to do. I think if we look across the rest of the teams they all have talkers and organisers in those key positions.
Also can’t kick for shit and no longer wants to run the ball. Definitely all his teammate’s fault eh?
 
Wrong.

AD has been criticised by many here, as have other plodders like Tamou and literally every other player you mentioned.

Please also remember the tanking of that final game of 2021 against the Bulldogs. Brooks definitely ‘did his bit’ there, disgraceful effort.
That bulldogs game was easily one of the worst things my eyeballs have ever seen and I’ve been on some very speculative websites

That game against the Bulldogs, Brooks had a crap game as did everyone, but no way did he tank it. He ran for 71m (20PCM) he had more run metres than Stef, Liddle, simpkin, Joffa and Amone, slightly less than Twal. Had a poor day in defense but still made more tackles than LL. That is not tanking.

By contrast, Mitchell moses in his last game with us ran for a total of 6m. Thats what tanking looks like.

Rumours Swirling that Tigers have upped their offer to 1.5mill a year.
Apparently going to be very hard for Moses to turn down.
Parra Forum

Slothfield will be saying it's 1.6 million by the end of Monday.Like most people on here including myself it would all be guesswork on the pawwa forum with people making the most sensational claims to get attention.Very few would know what he has been offered and none of them would be spreading it on a forum

Why would it (a fan’s opinion) have anything to do with his teammates?
I mean I don’t think the blokes a 1/2 back, in my opinion he’s a running 5/8, but again unless he’s blackmailing the club over the 7 jersey, I don’t see the relevance in this crap.
Shouldn’t it be the club you hate?… Oh, hang on, that’d be weirder.

In that 2021 game vs the Dogs. The forwards in the first 15 got us good field position and 3 times in that opening spell Brooks had an easy 3 on 2s but instead turned the ball back on the inside into traffic and killed the play. At that point the rest of the team knew their halfback was actively tanking so they all stopped trying
 
Let's not invent a new narrative. Sheens has said more than once publicly that he wants Brooks post 2023 on a restructured contract.
Until we see him perform with the new pack, we shouldn’t even be discussing extensions with him. Same goes for Doueihi and everyone else that’s off contract. No point extending him when he hasn’t even kicked a ball yet. If he really wants to stay he has to earn it like the rest, bloke has done nothing to deserve special treatment.

What rubbish....yes he had a bad game, like the rest of the team and based on your assessment there, he has made a mistake, but no one runs for 70m with 20pcm and 21 tackles in a NRL game and is tanking it, that is just ridiculous.
 
Luke Brooks did not throw that Bulldogs game.
He, like the rest of the squad played pisspoor football and a team who struggled all year took their opportunity.
Mitchell Moses on the other hand did tank games here.He did blame his teammates for his incompetence and he did play the mental health card to gain an early contract release.
People are slamming Brooks, yet are very happy to give Moses a massive contract to come back here….it’s just crazy.

That is a really cool story. Unfortunately it has no link to reality. In the first 15 minutes of that game, Luke Brooks passed one pass inside (at 5:13 match time), it was on the first tackle and he passed it to Stef. Not another single inside pass from Brooks in the first fifteen minutes of the game. Not a single "3 on 2" in the first 15 minutes of that game and the "good field position" that the forwards got us saw us down 10-0 at the 15 minute mark and we didnt hold the ball for a single tackle between the 7:44 and 15:50min mark.

Feel free to point out the time stamps of the 3 on 2 butchering.

But yeah....solid forward platform, Brooks butchering 3 on 2's and the rest of the team gives up.....

fairy tales.

Amco / Panasonic Cup anyone?
Mid week knock-out comp that ran fro 1974-1989.
I won’t guess at how many times I jumped the back fence and scrambled up the hill under the old fig tree behind the posts… but I do remember how the Tiges owned that comp.
3 x titles - 76, 85 & 87 and finalists in 80, 86 & 88. Easily the most successful team over the 15 yrs.
Fortress.
You can add to that the 77 Amco Cup, the Magpies beat the chickens 6-5 at Leichardt.
