St George Management are a bunch of idiots.

Feel sorry for Liddle and Musgrave having to front the media after the Bent hunt Saga

In a massive coup, Manly is poised to secure Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks.

The DT understands the deal will span three years and be announced shortly.

Brooks’ recruitment – joining incumbent Daly Cherry-Evans - will give Manly another halves combination from next season.

After 11 seasons with Wests Tigers, Brooks, 28, elected against re-signing at Concord.

He had previously been linked to Canterbury, St George Illawarra and North Queensland.

Brooks could sign a two-year contract at Brookvale but it’s more likely a three-season deal.

He was on a whopping deal worth $1.15m this year at Wests Tigers.

Brooks’s new deal at Manly could be worth around $2m over three seasons. (DT)

All the best.

I cannot believe we missed Mitch rein.. seemed a standout signing according to our previous criteria… maybe they are starting to get their act together,,, rejecting schuster and trading Talau for Fainu would convince me of that!

JT wouldn’t have missed Rein he loved having more hookers than Kings Cross.

Manly making the same mistakes Brisbane did. Hiring Seibold and stacking up on Isaac Moses clients.

Manly could be in for a rough few years by giving up their brightest star and relying on Seibold/Moses. Not to mention Turbos injury issues.

Find it very odd that Manly choose Brooks as there 6 over either Schuster and Fainu....

Apparently Kayal Iro wants to explore other opportunities given his lack of opportunity from the Sharks. 2022 NSW Cup Player of the Year, regularly making 200m per game at centre, big tackle busts stats, good defence & versatile to play fullback & backrow which he played in the World Cup.

Don’t be silly, with the above info there is no way we even look at him , we only look at duds 🥴

The manly forum is going off. Loving the Tigers coups

A good friend has told me Brooks to Manly. Just a rumour

Looks like my friend was right. He said his brother sat next to Pascoe on the plane up to Magic round and told him Brooks was going to Manly, loose.

Manly also have Jake Arthur. Where does he fit in ?

Looks like Slothfield was sitting outside the early opener having a few even before it opened.However it is welcome news if it happens

So Brooks gets about $680-690 ish at Manly good luck to him he'll do well next to DCE, where does that leave Schuster doubt he signs that 3 yr offer now.
We were never going to pay Brooks that but its far closer to his actual worth than what we were paying him at the end.

His actual worth is 3 post COVID rolls of toilet paper.

Brooks to Manly. Hmm.

Is there actually an 'final nails' in the Schuster to Tigers rumours?

Fainu & Schuster as the future halves?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

WT poach Manly's young gun 5/8 and we give them Brooks and Talau.

This is a Tigers master-class poor Manly.

 

[balmain boy]

They should release him at the end of the season. I'm totally opposed to teams competing for a premiership being able to sign a player like Ben Hunt for a third of a season.

It happens in many sports like the NBA and NHL, however those clubs going for a championship give up talented youngsters/draft picks in exchange for an aging veteran who adds more immediate value for a title chasing team.

*5/8

Side note, how pathetic is WT’s management when the dragoons are showing you how to treat a player who wants to break a contract for “family, mental,geographical” reasons.

If Seibold's plan is to move Schuster to the backrow, it makes even more sense for Samuela Fainu to come our way.

Manly in - Brooks, Talau
Wests in - Fainu, Fainu

Furthermore if we did bring in a backrower in Samuela Fainu, I wonder if we'd be inclined to let another Isaac Moses client go in backrower Brandon Tumeth. I highly doubt it as Tumeth headlines the Balmain side of our pathways progression.

The other Moses clients on our books are David Klemmer & John Bateman who aren't going anywhere.
