How's Brooks feeling this morning? Embarrassed, I'm sure. Any BBQs planned?
Doueihi is the WEAKEST LINK

Douihie can make a go of the centres as long as it is not ball playing, the guy runs hard and is tough to stop.
Brooks gets flustered at 7, put him at 6 and we saw the turnaround in 15 mins with a half (with some speed, Hastings was like the titanic) and he can run out wide and go well. We just need that 7, hoping it may yet be Moses inwoukdnt rule it out
Disagree with this Thread
Brooks is the Half that has been unable to deliver for 10 Years.
If Hastings was here, we would have won all three Games.

To be fair Yoss . . . he did throw an exquisite pass that created a beautiful line break that directly lead to a try.
Oh, hang on . . . you meant line breaks for us.
Sorry.
Carry on.

JT I think we believe Wakeham has earned a start at 7 so hopefully if Brooks plays 6 then we can guage how things go.
I don’t think Moses knows exactly what he’s doing so I’m parking that whole situation for now.
Looking forward to team selection this week coz it’s going to have change, how much, not sure.
I'm of the belief AD > Brooks. Still.
AD is off this year, inexcusable.
Needs to find form in NSW cup.
Brooks is incapable of finding form and should be shown the door as soon as possible.
What's the worst outcome?
A) 2023, wooden spoon
B) 2023, wooden spoon - but have Brooks' 1m salary available to spend elsewhere ?

Unfortunately Demps, I don’t think Brooks is going anywhere coz he’s certainly not making himself saleable, unless at a heavily discounted price.
Let’s see if that little spark we saw between him and Wakeham yesterday ignites into a flame. Who knows, an unheralded signing could have the key to open the door ?
And no, I’m not drinking just thinking out loud !
Currently Brooks has no contract after this season.
We simply, do not offer him a deal.
AD and Wakeham had a spark in the raiders trial.
Wakeham is clearly the difference.

Just not sure that AD is going to be in the front line after Sheens comments, but who knows.
They both need to go. Big mistake extending Doueihi as well. Only the Wests Tigers would extend sub-par halves.
Doueihi was diabolical yesterday. He ought to earn himself a spell in state cup for that effort. Absolutely zero effort in defence. Has someone told him that social distancing is not required any more?

Sounds like Sheensy will put AD to fullback

Massive massive massive bias. There is no way AD is in Brooks class or close to it atm.

Doesn't matter mate. We don't have to re-sign him.

He is too slow for fullback and whilst it was hot yesterday, he looked cooked early and is either carrying an injury or did not do the fitness work in the preseason. I could excuse him last year coming back from an ACL but he is not playing like a first grader.

Doueihi is out of form. However, there is still more to work with than Brooks.
I think AD should be moved back to the centres, deal with Brooks and Wakeham in the halves for this year and find ourselves 2 new halves for 2024.
I'd be trying to get Trindall and/or Volkman.

Doueihi's best is better than Brooks. His worst is well worse than anything Brooks has ever dished up though.
One thing I will give Brooks also is that he tries. Doueihi plain gave up yesterday.

I'd say Brooks has until after the parramatta game, but AD is surely done as a 6
If Brooks doesn't find form at 6 in the next 3 games he probably doesn't get signed for 2024 and that takes care of 2024, either way 2024 will not be at 1 million
Big problem is we have a AD signed and need to play him somewhere in 2024 and at the moment he can't pass and can't tackle and lost all form.
I would be looking to move AD mid year for 2024 if he can't transition to centre or fullback and use his 650k somewhere else for 2024.
