I have to completely disagree.
I think it has top 4 written all over it.
With the exception of 9, when fully fit. It’s a very competitive and dangerous team.
But I guess we won’t know until we revisit in 12 months. That’s just personal opinion.

Whilst I agree. Is anyone else not curious as to why other clubs haven’t knocked on the door yet?
It doesn’t add up.
TBC, I personally want him re-signed. He offers speed and finishing you can’t match.

Mate very true and if I am allowed to fix Tommy's hamstrings top 4 is a possibility
I hate to admit it. But it’s a lethal team when fit.
Class players, big forwards, speed that can’t be matched.
But getting it all on the park at the same time is the issue.
And also. Screw manly. But this is objectively thinking. They have a 1-13 to perform very well.

I love watching Tommy play when fit and it's easy to fix his hamstrings it's just have people forget about what use to work

My comment has nothing to do with Brooks. Just commenting on an ex Tiger and how they look.

Yeah I know, I was just have a laugh bcoz lots go on about the Hastings or Brooks debate and how he’s not the tigers Luke brooks anymore but he’s manly’s.
Wasn’t a shot at you.
Sorry I had to explain my little joke.

Did you not get the joke either?
You’re probably a bit jaded by all the Hastings/ Brooks fanatics, of which I’m neither. I wasn’t having a dig, just a joke.

It's fascinating how poor the organizing halfback looks and how good the cheap running half looks. Gamble is killing it.
It's been like that every game I've watched Newcastle play.

Yep sounds like both him and Wakeman , Alex improved but we have plenty forwards , Wakeman is well Park footy player so good to get 2 stops to shop with for backs ,,Blore is a better value than Alex
Well he'll be off to another club and be their shining light !
Brooks on massive money? I thought is was a reasonable price tbh… but I’m sure if bunnies can fit Whiton in with Trell, Walker, Cook, Murray, Arrow, Graham and Keon then manly could upgrade Oka lol… DCE massive contract also ended this year and is reported to be only on $700k-$800k in 2024

The money is there at the tigers we just can’t get the players .
we could offer the same player at manly the same deal at the tigers if we wanted to .
Brooks , Laurie , Tommy , Seyfarts , Wakeman , James all going plus the cap left over this season to use up front on players , plenty cash around , PS. He would be a very solid addition for us but we need backs badly

I second that. I can’t believe some are frothing over the prospect of us signing Gagai! Even the QLD Origin coaches could see his best days are well and truly behind him and that is usually the only arena in which he actually plays well.

Manly are using "smoke and mirrors" here they could not possibly afford to retain Olakau'atu on that money .. !! Manly are trying the oldest rick in the book here trying to make other clubs think that they have enough money to keep Olakau'atu .. !!

Gamble is another one we could have kept and developed instead of throwing all our eggs in the Brooks basket

Seyfarth gone? Is that true or a rumour
I’d be hugely disappointed if they could offer him more than we could
In our case, I’d say it’d be simply not enough roster spots rather than not enough money.
