We need to remember Steph is only 21 - 22. He has at least a decade ahead of him, props don't hit their peak till about 29 - 30. He is still a baby.

That old myth had been debunked years ago.
Klemmers that age and most agree he's good but on the decline.
Props are now at their peak at 25.

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.

Why would it have been two years when he only had one year left on his contract (this year).

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.

Volkman for me, the trial a few years ago as a rooster sealed it. It was a reserve grade roosters side against our top team and we never got a look in. He just directed the play so well and always seemed in control. Paired with a good running six could do wonders.

I don't see how Knights could even ask us to chip in for a 2nd year (24) when Brooks wasn't contracted to us.

I'm sure (not certain) we could have got Brooks to Newcastle for 2023 with us chipping in, but then that's it. No chipping in a 2nd year.

Sure you could! We want you to pay 500k of brooks salary next year. We want that money paid in two installments this year and next. These amounts are to come out of your cap space.

It has nothing to do with brooksies previous contract. Nothing to do with him at all really. It would of been about balancing their salary cap.

One thing I will never understand is Nofa gets dropped without much fuss, for what, having a big head, Brooks has never been dropped for mistakes galore bad play, but since his rise to first grade, I dont recollect him ever being dropped when in all the teams Brooks is the one player deserving of a stint in reserves.
He should be given an award for player most helpfull to opposing teams when playing the West Tigers.

Madge dropped him to the bench
Not sure but I think eggshells followed after a couple others dropped aswell
I have a terrible memory so could be wrong on timing

Context is we also trader klemmer and got Bateman which we needed.

But that doesn't fit the narrative being pushed

We also made that move thinking that Brooks would finally do his job and be good. Well the forwards are doing their job but Brooks is still failing to do his. We still could have landed Klemmer if we gave them Brooks. Bateman 50/50 if the talk of him and Hastings don’t get along is true.

Yeh true, prob just Bateman then.

Remember Hastings tweeting along the lines his Tigers days were done when Bateman news came out.
