Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's been obvious for a long time you have trouble thinking when it comes to Brooks, so don't strain yourself trying.

That answer is a bloody copout.

Give me a name of a half playing in NRL that is worse than brooks,
You are the third comment I have received on this question, and two of you have offered one name Wakeham but all had a shot at me for daring to ask the question as to the ability of Brooks, And forget Wakeham he can kick goals so he has value.

AND I THINK ABOUT BROOKS BECAUSE OF HIS INABILITY TO PLAY THE GAME.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU LOOK AT WHEN HE PLAYS,

BECAUSE YOU SEE WHAT VERY FEW PEOPLE DO, YOU SEE A BRILLIANT PLAYER, AND YOU ARE IN A VERY SMALL CLUB, BUT YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT, TO THINK WHAT YOU LIKE,

SO WE CAN SAY YOU SEE

ADAM REYNOLDS,

I WOULD LOVE HIM TO BE THAT GOOD.

BUT NOT EVEN CLOSE.

ENJOY SOO TNITE.

Evening all. Haven’t posted for a while, but can confirm there has not been discussions at this stage with Jack Cogger, so those reports may be off the mark.

Any other discussions taken place?

If you’re playing a 15 year old in first grade I’d be concerned. I’m talking at a first grade level.

Just don't think there is much within the club that is first grade material amongst the 19 - 22 year Olds, at least in the halves

There is always a position for a good player and Brooks is a good player. I understood the concept is to keep your good players and surround them with more good players. Welsby can play a number of positions.

I see it very differently
It's team. Brooks is a good player, that really doesn't do much for the team. Likewise our recruitment this year:
Klemmer,
Paps
Bateman.

Great players, who drive the line forward and give us positional dominance we haven't had before. Team wise, we haven't gelled as a team and really need to get our defensive and attacking structures in place.

The fact that you say Lee said "We will no longer pay above market rates for players" suggests to me that we are throwing cash around like a drunken sailor,Lee does not seem the most reliable person with his statements

I truly wish Lee would just stop talking

Ok. So would you expect Bula to stay and play state cup if we bought a fullback to play in front of him? Noting Bula has been awesome?

Would you stay with your employer if they brought someone in to do your role that you’ve been doing really well to mentor you? I’m hearing crickets.

Reece Walsh may play a similar style to Billy Slater and be inspired by him, but he’s not being mentored by him.

Mentoring - pathetic.

No, but it doesn't mean a young first grader can't learn from an experienced journeyman. Even if that journeyman is now playing reserve grade behind him.

If we do end up with a couple of rookie halves i actually wouldn't mind Clune as our reserve grade half training alongside and tutoring the younger blokes, I just wouldn't want him starting for us in first grade.

Think about Stef's glowing review of Finucane and how much he claimed to have learnt after his first stint in Origin camp.

Just need to ensure the older player is the right personality to pass on knowledge.

Wakeham, Te Marie Martin, Ilias. Gamble, Hastings.
Olauapu (currently, but I think Olaupu will end up better).
Amone and Sullivan (Sullivan may surpass him, not yet convinced).
Currently playing better than Townsend and Moylan but they have had better careers.
He is a very different player to O'Sullivan and Fogarty but he's at least their equal imo.

Bula has a million miles to go....

Having Billy Slater as a mentor certainly seems to be working for Reece Walsh...

He's coached him for two games. I think he was going alright before Billy picked him.

 

[tigerballs]

I said Mentor…

He’s been mentoring well before this years series…
But you do you.

It's okay to be wrong sometimes....

Dear Manly, with Turbo likely out for an extended period, we’ll help save your finals aspirations by immediately sacrificing Daine Laurie or Tommy Talau both 1st team players for us. In return just give us your 3rd string half Latu Fainu. Yours sincerely, Wests Tigers.

 

[Demps]

We'll take him.
Lindsay Collins too!

[Harvey]

🤦🏻‍♂️

Surely there's someone better than him on the market.

Tigers need to broaden their recruitment plan.

Otherwise we are always back to square 1.

Don’t worry. Apparently he rejected us for a better offer with the Queanbeyan blues

Billy said on nrl360 before the 1st game re Walsh selection he hasn’t worked with Walsh and was looking forward to doing so.

 

[Bird is the Word]

For Hunt to come to Tigers we must have thrown Moses money at him..and Im not against that for a cple of years
Transformational

Similar to what the Broncos have done with Reynolds. It seems to be working for them…

 

[cktiger]

Hitting the road or showing interest? 🤣

If we let Luke go, who's going to want to come here after seeing all the shit and disrespect he has received here.

Not totally underserved.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Hunt just confirmed he wants to return to QLD so that puts an end to any talk of a Sydney club
