Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I want one of them to show us they are a top 4 player in their respective positions. Just one out of Laurie, Brooks and Doueihi. How can you be a top team without that ?

I’m quietly confident Doueihi will.

His tackle-breaking ability and strength are extremely unique for a player in his position and he’s very skilful too. Very unique player.

The other two, I’m not sure about.

Brooks is the one that has to. If he sits back we’re screwed.
 
If Moses is actually coming- I get the feeling Doueihi will be asked to resume his fullback duties. Both Staines & Laurie are on 1 year deals. That FB spot is up for grabs next season, and Doueihi can play that role easily.

I don’t dislike Brooks as much as a lot of you do, but I just think he’s an average-tier NRL-level halfback.

I have his ceiling as about the 10th-11th ranked halfback in the comp, whereas I can see Doueihi being a Top 4 ranked player (in whatever position he plays) if he keeps his head screwed on during games.

Will be a very interesting season to see how they go under new coaching staff.

Or perhaps Mitch can play full back for us again. I remember he was great under the high ball

What convinced Brooks to stay(and Sheens to support him)in 2023 was a heavily back ended contract worth around a $1mill this year...he will never earn anything like that again in his life
Reckn I cld be miserabe for that!!
Really up to him now to stand and deliver...but no more loyalty BS from either party.Lets retain/release at year end based soley on his performance and contribution and nothing else

This has to be his year, there are no more excuses for him, he has the pack now, I agree he needs to perform or should go. But I have a funny feeling he will sign a new deal early on in the new year, without having to perform for it, if Benji wants him then I can see them offering him a new deal soon. I would prefer he earnt it though, or go.

I think that’s a fair call re his ceiling. But he’s got a way to get there, to that “average-tier”. Hope he does.
Realistically, other than two of the new recruits, I don’t think we have anyone even close at this stage to top 4 in their respective position. But keep recruiting like this and we soon will.
