Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Good players want to play with good players. We increase the quality of the players in our team - Klemmer, Koroiseau, Papali'i', Bateman, Staines - we get better results. Win win.

Maybe so … but why want Brooks for 3 years?
I know he’s his mate but that’s just pity.

If there is the slightest bit of truth to what you say moses should have been told that he is a "player not an owner of the club" and immediately been told that he has no say in who plays for the club

Brooks is one of his best mates. Moses was never going to come here at the expense of a mate, it was always only a possibility if it meant they played together. That has been well lnown since all this saga started. So I think he is entitled to make sure his mate wasn't getting shafted for him.

Harsh in some ways. Can hardly fault him for it.

Moses is a marquee player, he would want to know who he is planned to play with for the next few years as that is part of the sell to the marquee player.

Brooks no doubt would be the maim draw card for him, they are besties, played alot in juniors together, lived together for years, have kids weeks apart, they still talk about playing together again and still live around the block from each other. I can’t fault him for asking it if he has a clear preference to play next to him. We don’t need to say yes though.

At Parra he also knows the combinations - it’s who we are competing against - Gutho, Brown, Hodgo.

For us it’s currently?, ?, Moses & Api if he came.

It would be an important factor to know who is going to be the key players attack wise.

 

[king_sirro]

And, with al that, still more talented than Brooks.

Didn't you claim another poster was like a broken record the other day? Think you need a little self reflection if you start throwing claims like that at others.

why is that ? at Parramatta he knows Brown will be the 6, he just wants to know who his 6 will be.
Doesn't mean the club has to re-sign anyone but if they dint then it probably makes the decision easy for Moses, he stays an eel

if it was AD he was wanting to play with plenty on here wouldn't have an issue lol
But because it is Brooks ...

plus good mates and same manager too. I'd say Isaac would be wanting to get Moses sorted and an extension of some kind for brooks too. Issue will come down to price tigers are willing to part with for brooks I guess

Moses is a very good player. As others have written, he wants to know who will partner him and have certainty over the combination.

 

[vlad]

FWIW, one of the conditions of Moses was the Tigers re-sign Brooks to at least 3+ years

No real shock there

Can’t recall doing so … well, not in those words.
Unless you’re talking about Brooks being a Dally M Halfback of the Year 🤣
Anyways just stating the truth… even in reflection.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I think we still have to use it. Probably changes to getting a gun fullback and keeping Brooks and AD I guess

Correct. I don't believe this though. You can't have potential recruits running the club. If true Sheens and his team should be sacked immediately.

If you're playing center or wing and Moses and Brooks are the 6 and 7, you'd see lots of ball and would be happy.

No. The issue is the idea that a potential recruit can pick the team and manage the roster.

call BS on that if he said he wanted AD plenty on here would not have an issue...
Players like to k ow who they are going to play with all the time nothing new

There is never certainty and there never should be.
That’s been our curse in the last few years.
If Brooks stinks it up it’s off to Reggies… same should apply to any player.

I can't talk for other posters on here only myself. I have an issue with the principle of any player managing recruitment and retention for the Tigers. I have massive issues with a potential recruit doing that.

I'm assuming it's not true because it means Sheens and his staff are incompetent and unprofessional.

Respectfully, tigeraps mail isn't good.
Highly doubt he knows about such a
specific contract stipulation given
the fact there has been a freeze on
everything related to Moses since Xmas

You never allow players to dictate who you sign,you certainly listen to them but that is as far as it goes
