I agree, you are almost making me feel sorry for the Eagles!

Honestly, Aloiai and Tuilagi we kinda miss a little bit. But would rather have Klemmer and Paps.

Sheens probably rightly has steered away from Woods. IMHO it wouldn't have taken much to bring him back.

I’d rather be subjected to 30 min highlight reel of Reece Walsh try scoring celebrations than have Aloia at the club..

Why? They kicked Luke Brooks out which everyone was screaming for. Same level of planning as some muppets on here.

Why is there a lot of Brooks lovers saying West Tigers kicked Brooks out, When they did not.
Brooks was made a fair offer by West Tigers based on current value, and he knocked it back.
And accepted better offer from Manly.

BROOKS CHOICE,

Stop with the lies, he chose to go.

You said it in your sentence. How was our offer "current market value" if he had a team paying more?

You're kidding yourself if you think we couldn't have kept him. Only a few weeks ago he was talking about wanting to be a 1 club man.

The people spouting about being a brooks "lover" or "simp" just don't get it. Sure, move him on. But move him on WHEN we have a better option. Anything else is just as dumb as hell - we're now in a desperate position where any agent knows we'll be willing to pay overs for a half.

C'mon Hammer it was everywhere that Newcastle thought they had him last year and it was Sheens that blocked him from going.
Sheens and Benji couldn't make it any more clear that they wanted him at the club.
If he was unhappy with the offer but committed to the club that's what his manager is for - just like he did with Mitch Moses when he wasn't satisfied with Parra'a first offer but eventually got the deal with Parra that he wanted.
We offered Moses more than Parra but didn't get him because he wanted to play for Parra.
Brooks didn't enter into any further negotiations at WTs and neither did his manager - that was his choice.

After the board made it clear they didn't want him mate and lowballed. I have no doubt that if the Tigers wanted him, he would have stayed. He said as much in the BTR podcast.
