Stats speak!
Stands out in a losing team is saying something, put him around good players and he’s only going to be better.
Was average in defence today, but the whole team was. Attack though was good, he went over to score two decent try’s.
Should be given ago in NRL to see how he goes, couldn’t be any worse then who we have already got there.
give him a week at lock,might sharpen him up bludging out there
The question would be whether his body is durable to play in the front defensive line fully time.

Has scored a few tries this year, and that’s definitely something we aren’t good at. Might be worth a try , even off the bench ?
moving this thread on

- staines and club in discussion

Thanks champion @kade7 - your goss is really appreciated.
Exactly we are talking about the Roosters letting their Captain who happens to also be the Australian Captain go and play somewhere else PLEASE he will be looked after for life by uncle NIC.
some1 sparked the rumor up again this weekend after a rush of coco pops

And how do you think our first choice halfback would feel if an unproven youngster, signed as his backup, earns more than him? Would be great for team morale...🙄
If you want to make someone the highest paid backup in the comp then maybe you should work for the dogs
I was thinking the same. As good as he's been, age has started to slow Teddy down and the Chooks are also having a very ordinary year by their standards. Could also cost us Bula if Teddy were to return.

im not pretending anything.. they were the worst team in the comp last year with or wihout him..
They have only won 7 games these past two years… so most are going to have a worse record than his 25 percent win rate…
They were an even worse team without him last year …didn’t win a game
His contract was actually low for a starting half…Around $400k per year for 2 years I believe
Im sure Api was purchased this season to turn around the team as well…that hasn’t worked either … but I hope they don’t move on from him this offseason…

Are we seriously worried about hurting Wakeham's feelings?
Read the post your responding too. Wakeham was signed as a reserve half. He was also signed for 1 year. While I see him as a dedicated Halfback, I don't care if he stays or if he goes, I really don't.
Happy to have Sullivan + Fainu +whomever fight it out in the halves. Sezer enters the fray, great. Top 2 and if you still want a first grade spot, fight it out with the Centers.
We have first grade spots for whomever wants them bar Hooker and some forwards.

Thanks - and I hope the club never has an interest in signing Turde$co..will never forget the way those departed 3 treated the club and its supporters..

That's not exactly my point. Your original post was talking about how Hastings played great in 2 wins (just 2?), then about how we got worse when Hastings was injured.
And my point was "that's fine" but also we were horrible with Hastings as well. So no, it's not that Tigers were worst team in the comp "with or without him", it's that we were worst team WITH him. We can't be excusing away his involvement in that ignominious outcome. We bought a guy to be the reliable halves partner for Brooks and we ended up having to shift him to lock, and then we got the wooden spoon.
As a result of being the worst team, we sacked our coach and made significant roster changes. Yes you have a point that Api has the same problem, except Api joined a team that sacked their coach and was already a wooden-spoon side before he came in. We will yet see if he can help engineer a revival. But also, unlike Hastings, Api is a proven grand final winner and Origin rep.
I was not and am still not advocating that moving Hastings was a good idea. I would not have moved him on. I saw enough in what Hastings offered.
they were kids just listening 2 advice,if,big IF they n Sheens stayed.wow,
good move Hastings to lock,it kept Dway- hey out of harms way
