Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It appears I'll keep repeating myself, but OK I'll say it twice this weekend.

Knights apparently wanted up to half a million a year to take on Brooks. You are going to pay Knights a million bucks to take Brooks off your hands for 2 years? That's part of the reported reason the deal was scuppered.

I am supremely bored of the arguments that Tigers could have traded Brooks or Hastings, at our own discretion or leisure, as if the Knights weren't trying to drive their end of the bargain.

Fact is they took Hastings for zero cost to us, and they released Klemmer to us in return. That deal was never on offer for Brooks.

So it's not the Tigers' fault that they supported and trusted Brooks within his current contract, and he's not repaying any of that value. He wouldn't need a fresh start or a release if he could do a half-decent job of playing halfback.

So, we could've paid 500k for 1 year and be rid of him, but instead we pay him $1m to basically sabotage our season. 😂😂😂 awesome decision making by WT. Run by peasants

Sheens saw more potential at 7 in Brooks than he did with Hastings
Pretty much the moment when Sheens lost me tbh..altho last seasons handling of Madge and premature release of key players guaranteeing the spoon had me well on the way...!

To be fair I think letting the players go early helped us secure players like Bateman and klemmer for this season and gave us money in the cap to offer mosses 1.4 million
 
I'd be trying to pick up Bennett for a few yrs after his dolphins stint. He can oversee Benj. What he's done for Redcliffe is amazing, considering the salary cap differences between his and the top teams.
Plus Tim's shit and needs to be another assistant at Canberra

I think people are looking back on Williams time with the raiders through rose coloured glasses.

He is better than what we have at the moment, but is at a level I would describe as competent at most

Townsend and Deardan could probably be called competent rather than superstars but with the right squad around them (and the right coaching and structures) competent in the halves is enough to be at the pointy end of the table.

I don’t care which one we sign, just sign one. Please. all either off contract or stuck behind players at other teams. any one of them would be an improvement.

Throw the chequebook at Bennet or Bellamy to be a coaching director type role similar to Gus Gould. Could help Benji (getting his assistant’s right will be crucial) and add some credibility to our brand and signing potential.

Even Adam Clune as he’s experienced, not too old and if nothing else knows how to play with a bit of structure and has a half decent kicking game,

No it would have been 2 years, so up to a million dollars for Knights to take Brooks off us, and that's assuming it is a deal the Knights agreed to.

Don't forget Brooks' salary is reported to be back-ended, so whatever he's earning now, he earned less in the first years of the deal.

Curious to know where the 500k/year figure came from
