I think something has to give at the Warriors and we need to monitor that situation closely. Johnson, Martin, Harris-Tavita, Metcalf and Volkman gunning for two spots. Metcalf and Volkman would be ideal and both are originally from Sydney, so there is a chance we can snag one if we apply pressure. Metcalf a free agent come November 1, he's the one I'd be trying for.
similar situation at the Dragons with Amone, Sullivan and Hunt. Amone becomes a free agent on November 1 and if signed for 2025 they may be inclined to give an early release. Hunt's situation has been spoken about, but it is a little difficult.
Gold Coast have three halves around the same age in Sexton, Thomas Weaver and Tanah Boyd, plus Foran. I'm not sure if any of them are the answer but it's certainly worth a look.
agree on Connor Tracey but unsure on his situation. few rumours regarding him heading to Parramatta, but we can offer him a role in the halves which they cannot. would love him at WT. very natural eyes up footballer that just needs time in a regular position to develop into a classy first grader.
Ethan Sanders and Latu Fainu have been spoken about extensively but if we sign one then they have to be paired with an experienced half. very testing times at WT.

this is what I've thought from the outset. Isaac Moses 101. only difference is this time that our dear Chairman has decided to rear his head.
I'll be very surprised if Brooks leaves even despite all the fanfare. Townsville isn't quite Leeds but it's a long way away from home. a number of clubs have already said they're not looking at him which only strengthens WT's bargaining position. I think they might be able to extract a few more dollars out of us, but ultimately I think it's likely he stays.

He’s got Magpie blood in him.
Trevor is a relative of some kind.
Averillo was alright at 1 for the dogs.
He could be our 6 and then we can recruit a managing 7... from some where

Would be an upgrade on Brooks, can't do any worse.
I would take Averillo every day of the week. He is a very good player
Yeah, looks a goer.
Has some speed...
Think he could make the transition to 6 and handle it well.
Cmon mate. He was a knights and dogs reject long before being a Panthers one.
He's Trevor's son.
He played really well for Penrith the other night. And Staines was doing well for us I thought before his unfortunate injury

Just coincidentally all these offers are starting to appear now, seeing as he's been available to field offers from last November.

Perfect sentiment, I'm hyper critical of Brooks the halfback but don't hate the person, I'm sure he's one in a million as a bloke. But in terms of performance in his position he hasn't worked out, he has the pack now and we are totally rudderless in the opp 20. It's time to move on. Or he takes a back seat as a depth signing on a hugely reduced contract.
Thank LilT
We the FANs are so passionate about our great club
We need to demand a high level from out players and Staff.
haha, I don't believe the clickbait articles and rumours ...
Just checked. Yeah you are right, he has. I missed that news at the time, sorry
O'Sullivan was playing really well for the Dolphins too though prior to getting hurt

Not rubbish, Brooks has been a handbrake for this side for donkey years. Can't control a game, can't communicate, Cogger has already shown more upsides than captain hand break. But Brooks did win a Dally M haha.
