Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I hope you all see what’s happening here, Moses has confirmed staying with Eels so Michael Chammas is messing with us.

He knows we’ll grab hold of this and there’ll be a topic on us chasing Gutherson that will reach 500 pages, don’t fall for it people!!
 
I think Gutho could finish his career as a pretty good 6.

God knows we need players with effort heart and leadership. Bateman, Williams and Gutherson is a good start.
 
Good to see hastings steer Newcastle to another win.

The more he wins and we lose the more pressure on sheens and pascoe

Why wouldn’t sheens have just told hastings he’ll let him and brooks duke it out to see who the half back would be…. Rather than tell him “you’re not playing halfback you’re a lock”! ….

Better to have many balls in the air. But no - were sh*t.

Dumbbbbbbbbbbb.
 
So long as he doesn’t still have that pathetic ponytail haircut thing - I don’t know because I don’t watch the slimes…. But we can offer the best barbershop in sydney…..so that’s important
Grow a man bun and pray to the footy gods

Sheens is a shit coach mate.
The evidence has been available for a long time.
 
Doesent sound like they are replacing gutho more looking for a bench fullback to bring a bit of spark and then if injuries/hia move Gutho around as he can cover lots of spots.

Wouldn't shock me to see a swap of Laurie to Eels and Waqa Blake mayby come our way given we let Maumalo go.

Lolllllllll

If he’s shit what does that say about Lee and Justin who chose him and a rookie and locked them into a 5 ye contract? Hmmm
That those 2 are shit as well. But given how quickly they appointed Sheens, I doubt anyone else was putting their hand up to coach us.
 
Here’s my weekly email to justin

Would be good if everyone can send him one

He’s responsible for this mess and the shit weekends we’ve had to endure for the last 10 years

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.
Getting the proposition straight:
Brooks on 1 mil a season. Knights would pay 500k.
Hastings on 600k a season with us (650? something like that), still had 1 year on contract.

Explain to me again how this isn't equal money. Ok sure we pay 100k extra for hastings... WOOHOO!

I am not saying Hastings is the halfback answer. I am saying (as everyone else is) that Brooks isn't the answer.
