Hearing Super League Club Leeds are set to offer Luke Brooks a lucrative deal. Understand that if this transfer 100% happens, Wests Tigers will make a play for either Blake Austin or Aidan Sezer in which both are off contract. Also with the the spare money Tigers will make an official offer to Knights star Tyson Frizell as his contract expires at the end of this season.

Seems like we’re putting the feelers out for both Fainu and Schuster…. manly can’t and won’t keep both

Really liking the way we’re attacking our recruitment lately, I’d be very happy with either

I have to pick u up on ur statement, apart from what we signed last year and just before the season, what have we signed , we have punted joffa and looks like blore is out the door , so what have we signed 🥴🥴🥴

Austin or Sezer for Brooks. Can't see the upside personally.

I don't think it's 100% certain.

Just a rumour.

So without an offer being made to Brooks, WTs are going to go after two ESL halves past their prime and with the "spare" change make an "official" offer to Frizell? Who writes this stuff?

Seems like it isn't two ESL halves.
It's one or the other.

Daresay we could get Sezar + extend Brooks and still land Frizz.. if we wanted to.

I'm not confident Brooks would want to relocate overseas.
I reckon he will stay but on less money
As @pawsandclaws1 mentioned, tigers should pass both esl halves and go hard for frizell instead
Makes more sense

A player who is off-contract next season that no one is really talking about is Ezra Mam.

You would think he is unlikely to leave the Broncos as would likely get a big payrise as his renewal would likely coincide with Reynolds' retirement.

But worth us exploring!?!? Not dissimilar to Dylan Brown (player type & ability) at the same age.

Unless we've given heavily backloaded deals to guys Klemmer/Api/Ice/Bateman we should have tons of cap space, especially with Ofahengaue being moved on. It shouldn't prevent us from getting any player that's available and multiple high quality ones. Brooks alone is $1m off the cap which we haven't replaced. Ofahengaue is at least $500k that we had pencilled in for next year that we've no longer got to pay.

Under contract through 2024 - available to negotiate with post-Nov 1.

I rate Mam. But is he an organiser or a quality finisher of sets? I'm not sure Mam/Brooks is a pairing that works.

Aren't they both 50

Too soon

He is a finisher with explosive speed, improving front-on defence and good cover defence. What I love about Mam is he has a touch of class & x-factor. He would complement a good organising halfback.

haha, that's why I qualified with player type & ability.

Stop even thinking about him, Just Stop....
Hopefully that will help with not mentioning him here... Ever

Sezar is garbage - And there's a reason he's not been resigned on at Leeds yet...
His team with the immortal Blake Austin is coming 8th in a 12 team "reserve grade std. comp"....
And you reckon he's any type of answer here....
FFS - Let it go man....

He's where he's at for a reason.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Throw some money at Sezer
Wouldn't mind him on-board.
Killing it in SL
It would be a good signing
Good organiser, kicks goals
Was good at Raiders
May seem to be getting on, definitely has some years in him.
Ticks the boxes for me

So looks like we're going from an average overpaid half to an even more average half and still probably pay too much for the privilege. Such a Wests Tigers thing to do, I dont think Brooks is the answer but if he wanted to stay on for another couple of years with sensible money that would be preferable.
I dont know how Sezer is going or went over there but Austin was terrible over here cant see that he would have suddenly gotten any better.
