I am with you on this. Punt Brooks and add a top quality half to pair with Wakeham. There is more upside to him than Brooks.

It may be but it’s a dumb trade as all it does is improve a guy for another team. He won’t teach our blokes anything as he is instinctive and still learning.
We won’t go on a run and make the finals as you would expect the pressure would be too much, having lost so many already and likely losing Api over Origin.
All it will do is put some lipstick on a poor season and secure the jobs of people who should not feel secured.

I'm the same why develop players for other teams were not a reserve grade outfit.

It gives us the opportunity to win games while we're still finding our long term solution. One things for sure, we don't have any immediate medium term options at the club so getting anyone decent on loan won't hurt us at all..

Actually, that's exactly what we are.
Agree, Bulldogs brought his family to the game also. Was chatting to a member of the Bulldogs recruitment team he will be with them for a long time.

We need to win games using guys who are here for the rebuild.
I am well aware that there isn’t much available on the market or within the club. That’s why I am resigned to the fact that Brooks will have to be re-signed and played at 6, whilst Wakeham is given time to show what he has got.
Bringing in Walker or anyone else for the remainder of the season, when they have zero intention of playing next year, will only delay any development we are engaged in.

Halves...
Bottom line is Scott Fulton and Warren McDonnell need to work harder to make/break contracts just like others constantly do to us
Id start with the 2 poms off contract end 24...that can probably be fixed with $$ negotiation,/transfer fees which no-one will remember if they do well
We have Brooks $1.1 and Douhis 670k to play with,which we can bring fwd to this year.Both cooked at WTs if ere gonna go anywhere
If the Poms wanna stay in UK,,Id then move on to the better halves in NRL who arent past their bestby date,but underdelivering for one reason or another
But dont give us high maintenance unproven dropkicks like Schuster who has achieved nothing,nor eratic has beens like Johnson/Mitchell looking for a super top up
Hunt cld work.Taafe cld be useful
Our top heavy coaching team need to start delivering some results to establish cred,which theyre well on the way to,and similiarly our top heavy recruitment team needs to add value with some outside the box recruits rather than simply warm their seats waiting for contracts to expire
