no. views himself as a 6 or a 7 and Brooks will be retained as a bargaining chip to lure Moses over. unfortunate given he's a local junior and is passionate about the club but I don't expect to see him here in 2024.

You’re forgetting the link at the Lebanese team.

We would have got Klemmer anyway .
Stupid to lose a halfback with no decent replacement.

We don't get Klemmer for 400k without giving them something.

I am a massive Hastings fan and wanted to extend him but with his options to either stay here at 13 and get beat up each week OR go to Knights for a lot more and extended for 3 years it works for all parties. Clearly Sheens / Benji want to keep Brooks so it's a business decision and we made the most of it.
I do agree we should have had a better back up plan especially if we don't snag Moses but the club needed to make the call back then instead of waiting for Moses to decide and he still hasn't. Imagine we waited for Moses to decide we would have missed Klemmer and most like Bateman as well.

I think we won't get Moses (hope we do) but I also think we have a way better team this year and the halves of Brooks / AD / Daine L / Wakham etc will be fine behind the best pack we have had for like 10 years.
 
Moses manager asked questions of tigers to beef up the pack for 2024, we have done that with klemmer Papali Bateman Api.
In regards to halves pairing Moses is keen to play with Brooks hence Brooks was never ever going to Newcastle.
if we had kept Hastings we would be no chance of getting Moses, Brooks is a key draw card for Moses.
it will however cost us 300k more than Parramatta and the deal is for 4 years not 5

300k more maybe but not on Salary cap. Would have to be 100-150k TPA in the offer. No way would you go over 1.25-1.3mill. not worth it

I’m excited to see him have a go this year sounds like he hated Madge’s game plan of 5 hit ups and kick. Seriously how good would it be to see Luke Brooks succeed at this club he deserves it

Probably pent-up frustration. You can read how sensitive that topic is on this forum with one or two replies to my initial post.

I reckon we would have got Klemmer anyway- he wanted out and they didn’t want him either.
