That's not too bad then while I would perfer him not to be a flop the real worry would be crippling our cap but 600k is an amount that we can cop especially with the increase of the cap, unless you mean in pounds cause if so we're screwed

Do we know how much he is on because that can change things dramatically, if he's on 500-600 grand and flops that bad but if he's on 800-900 grand and flops that's a Cleary signing

It really depends on how much their contracts are worth and if it's backended, frontended or consistent throughout. Klemmer should be fine for atleast first 3an probably all 4 Batemans more of a mystery but we do have other options at 2nd row so depending on contract not fatal

2 years for brooks if it's only lik 600k isn't to bad, worse case scenario we have a slightly expensive deph player but you would hope they would wait to see him play

I think the encouraging thing with him is even if he flops our season isn't over with and we've got guys to replace him unlike alot of our other flop signing we're we needed them to perform. That being said I don't think he'll flop while he probably won't reach his raiders form as long as he...

And the teeth of a meth head

I think the fact tupou can get high edges him over Staines in our squad, brooks has basically mastered attacking kicks to the wing (alot of ken's tries were from them) and it would be a shame to not have a winger capable of taking advantage of it

He did look alot better than Laurie today especially under the high ball but by the time he played alot of the raiders first grade team were already off

We looked good but only really used douheis side and better sides will shut us down, so hopefully that was because api and brooks were out(anyone thinking wakehams better than brooks needs thier eyes checked) I think tupou is at the stage where to develop any further he'll need to play first...

The weird thing with his short kicks is that at one point 2018-19 I remember it being on of his strengths than it and alot of the upside of his game disappeared in 2020

Defence is mostly attitude so hopefully playing a more free flowing game will help the players stay engaged and focused during defense that being said I think alot more errors with the ball will happen this year but hopefully by 24,25 season the players get used to throwing the ball around

I've noticed alot of your threads are questions that can be asked in other threads

I think he kind of suffers from the fact his flaws are obvious when watching from TV and always there witch makes it that much more frustrating to watch, whereas brooks main flaws of not being a organiser and some panicked decision making are either not apparent from the tv or less constant and...

At this point that would be the wrong move, one of reasons the club has such a stink around it is due to a reputation of being unstable, changing a coaching plan not even a year after announcing it just feeds into that. If it was before we announced that plan than its a no brainer, can't even...

I don't think Luciano,gildart or nofa change us getting the spoon. Madge getting sacked mid season is the main reason but it was the difference between coming 12-15 or getting the spoon

Didn't mean it was a bad thing just pointing out the differences. A good game for Jackson is one where he constantly takes pressure off the halves though passing and kicking, is solid in defence and makes good meters , a good game for victor is one where he runs and takles hard and occasionally...

They basically took different paths to get to the same location but your right that hastings is a better ball player and can be involved more, the downside is he also has less impact than yeo,radley etc

Cause it isn't a new style, hastings did basically the same thing yeo or radly do,He was just organising the team aswell A ball playing 13 getting the ball at first receiver to give the halves more space is something alot of clubs do at the moment

Your right he does need to defend better and get involved more. what I should say is his decision making is poor, we might have there number on the edges but he'll decide to run it instead of giving it to his center or wing

We did try that and he was to slow, if douhei wants to be a first grade player he needs to learn to pass more. its upto him to work on his game otherwise someone else without his flaws will come and take his place (from our juniors or outside the club)
