Three good quality signings. If only they could do something with the NrL squad

Quite a few have said his a lock.. I remember there was an interview last year when Hastings was given the 7 and brooks was injured. AD was 6. Hastings won the game and was asked if he would be going back to lock if brooks is fit. He said something along the lines of playing where he is needed...

Staines has to be fullback. Has to support Api playing through the middle. Only one looking dangerous. Halves are a conundrum with no one really good enough quality I think offa comes back into the side and Blore can join back as well. Staines Tupou Naden Kepoa Bula ——— ——— Klemmer api Uto...

What’s Tanah Boyd doing from the GC? Is he injured. Can he play half for us next week?

Is he smashing it in KOE cup?? (Genuinely… haven’t seen last couple of weeks)

You talking about the guy that couldn’t hold his position at fullback, unsuccessfully trialed in the halves and failed in preseason and then went on to not impress in reserve grade and generally looking sub par in his preferred position there? On top of that has outwardly shown his disdain for...

Out of interest, who is your spine next week?

Agree. One of our biggest problems is we have to many guys scraping into the division above into a struggling team. If we had kept a few of those players in the lower grades to let them dominate, not only would it breed a “winning culture” but it would help the one or two players making the...

Drop him sure. I get it’s also annoying he is our highest paid problem. But after you drop him you need to replace him. Who with? Who is saying I’m playing well and I want his spot? You said yourself AD is the other big question mark and our only depth. Yep big questions over the club. I would...

Possibly- but aren’t these the same blokes that got caught out literally making up the Moses to roosters rumour? Rugby league journos have lost all credibility until someone gets named shamed and fired over that! Don’t believe any of them anymore

I think that’s one of the issues between people who are labeled “pro brooks” and others who just want him gone. It’s very easy to say “punt him” and just live in fairly land. he has a contract, expiring at the end of the year. How do you negotiate him to go somewhere else without it affecting...

I literally addressed each of those points in the original post. In fact I also addressed your original point. In the team I listed Wakeham was listed as half. I named brooks as 5/8 stating that the only person playing worse than brooks was AD. My final point was that Laurie looks...

Actually I said the only worse player than brooks is AD. We have no other specialist half we can play.

Can anyone at all tell me what Staines has done wrong at fullback? The only time we look dangerous is Api making breaks out of dummy half but then has no support. My team would have Staines at fullback playing support for Api with his speed. For me I have Wakeham playing RHS Brooks playing...

Sure you could! We want you to pay 500k of brooks salary next year. We want that money paid in two installments this year and next. These amounts are to come out of your cap space. It has nothing to do with brooksies previous contract. Nothing to do with him at all really. It would of been...

I think they have made it very clear - and said it on many interviews. Regardless of if they are right, telling porkies or totally ignorant the story is; For Brooks -Newcastle wanted tigers to kick in to much alluding to the fact that they wanted 650,000 paid over multiple years. Tigers would...

Volkman for me, the trial a few years ago as a rooster sealed it. It was a reserve grade roosters side against our top team and we never got a look in. He just directed the play so well and always seemed in control. Paired with a good running six could do wonders.

Only watched the KOE highlights but was simpkin playing in the halves for periods?

Yeah but so have the last four CEO’s

I think he is quite good at government negotiations and did well with the centre of excellence. His role just needs to be away from football and contracts negotiations with player managers.
