Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger Stripes]

But is he the best half we have ? When was his last MOTM performance.
I’m just saying in a corporate environment he would be gone, so why not WT ?
Or at least dropped so he can collect his dough but not impact the first team. It may even lift some spirits.
I think Wakeham should be given a shot at 7, not 6, and maybe the partnership with Doueihi may blossom.
Why not try ? We have absolutely nothing to lose.

Fully agree!

We scored 3 tries in reggies off Will Smith kicks and he's the only bloke that hasn't been given a crack.
I'm not sure if he's eligible but if he isn't surely we could use the "there's no other player at the club that plays halfback" reason that allowed Bula to be named in the squad.
I mean it's true right?

Said Smith could be the Smokey for me this year , he needs to be made available to play top grade how ever and what ever it takes , he is better than Wakeman

Why does he have to wait until round 10 to be eligible?

Coz he’s not in the top 30.

If we had problems signing quality players before, the jersey fiasco is a nail in the coffin .

 

[guywolf]

So far he has what 0 try assists 0 linebreak assists and 0 linebreaks for the season, I'm prob wrong but so far cant remember him setting up anything. Also think he's a bit dirty for not being allowed to go to Newcastle. Same as Douhi, been kicking stones since he was refused time in Melbourne last year. Reckon him not getting the captaincy this year over Api has just made him clock off, reckon they've both given.up on the joint and just want out. Reckon Douhi signed the extension to buy more time to increase his value and give him more time to find somewhere else. Reckon so far both their N.R.L careers are dead in the water if they don't.get their heads in the game and pull their socks up.

True - my worry is more that the only viable halfback we'd be left with is wakeham, and he hasn't really inspired a lot of confidence apart from that 15 min spell a few weeks ago.

Maybe so we can get another record 0 - 10

NO, ITS ANOTHER GREAT RULE THOUGHT UP BY THE NRL. ????

Maybe coz he’s been playing at 6 ?

Which is something i don't understand, the club has admitted that Brooks is not a 7 that's why we chased moses so hard. Yet we still dont drop him, what happens if parra smash us do we move AD again.

 

[tigerballs]

At the cattle dog trials at the Easter show, the bloke just whistles and the dog knows exactly what to do, putting 700kg cows through tiny gaps etc. The dog is smarter and fitter than Brooks, does exactly as he's told and matches him for pace. He also has a big ticker, unlike AD. Sign him now!

Smart, when you have a good half you hold onto him.

Now that’s what you call job security. See, we were on the right track with Brooks, we just picked the wrong human !

He got paid. Good on him. He is a great player.

I can get behind that trade and both players could end up winners as well.

So far he has what 0 try assists 0 linebreak assists and 0 linebreaks for the season, I'm prob wrong but so far cant remember him setting up anything.

Been otherwise engaged this season and have only watched the second half of the game against the dogs. Haven't bothered watching any replays of our other losses.

At some point in the second half, Brooks dummies to the right, a gap opens up which he goes through and finds Stains backing up and he put him under the posts.

So, I have only watched 40 minutes of footy this year and I can recall one linebreak and one try assist.

Hope this helps.

Interesting, but would be sorry to see Laurie go.
Don’t think we’ve handled him too well.

Does that mean Doueihi to fullback and Brooks to be resigned for a further two years?
