Was banned, think it's over now. Saying that even when he was banned he was sitting next to his agents while they were doing negotiations. The systems a total joke.
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
That is true and is one of the main reasons why young players who look good through juniors and junior rep sides don't make it at the top level

I think they were incompetent but at the same time Isaac had us by the nuts. As I recall we tried to hire his partner who was breaking away from Cove?
Who was our CEO at the time?
We certainly found in the aftermath we had limited access to the best players.
Sheens seems to have rebuilt the bridges?
They don't pay him the big bucks to not get the best deals - Moses, Bateman, and Brooks all in his crop he will be making sure that he is using every advantage to get what he wants at our expense if it comes down to that.

On another matter, just looking at your stats, very impressive.
642 posts and 2144 reactions, that's a high ratio. Obviously you're appealing to the masses, will need to monitor your input more closely.
Congrats.

I seem to remember that when the Big 3 left, Brooks jumped in and signed for $550k for 3 or 4 years, so assume that after he won Dally M award his bargaining power obviously really increased.

Brooks played his best football under Ivan Cleary.
His worst football was the Moses + Brooks Partnership. Although 2022 may have disproven that. The word "turnstyle" was used frequently, and they were often compared to a swimming pool gate (unsure why, those gates usually wacked me in the Gonads and were hard to get through)
It seemed their personalities did not gel well together. They sucked and the biggest issue was defence, yet both have improved in this.
Buzz wrote and said the signing would be announced by Parra on Thursday. Geez I can't stand this bloke.

Nope.
The club was "switched on" to it at the time. The problem was the club wasn't switched on to it that the 3 players, Tedesco, Moses and Brooks had their contracts coming up at the same time. Sharon then wanted to "stay"* and signed with the same manager.
*whatever you make of that.

1, Clubs like ours ususally don't have the luxury to hold players back due to depth issues.
2. A young halfback introduced into a stronger side with strong forwards has a distinct advantage over those in weaker teams.

I wouldn't say no to Lodge at the right price.
I don't see why other clubs should get to sign him just because his shocking behaviour was at our club. IMHO it should be the other way around, the bad behaving player gets locked to a club, not allowed to break contracts and negotiate for more money.

Maybe it was " a phase they were going through" coz traditionally they had been super together.
Ivan did bring out the best in Brooks, whether it was a personal project or the type of football we played.
I'm prepared to see if it works again playing Sheensball !

Don't we have enough forwards now ? Doubt he would be on our radar.

Several people on here also said that Moses was meeting with us on Thursday and an announcement was imminent.
So neither happened ?
Who can you believe, only an official announcement I'd say, the rest is drivel.
Buzz reporting the upset Dogs player is Rajab.
100% correct. Deep down in our heart of hearts, we want to believe the rumours that favour us, but they are just as rubbish as the heat coming out of Buzz's mouth.
What's been made very clear over the past 8 weeks is that absolutely nobody knows anything, and it's what we've all been crying out for as Tigers fans, instead of the mad hatter spruiking all the details to the world.
I refuse to listen to Phil Roth field on Radio or read his articles.
