We didn’t let Joffa go because we have too many props, we let him go because he was on too much money for a bench prop. We 1 injury away from having to go outside our top 30 for a prop. We still have Naden, Laurie and Staines will be back as depth in the outside backs, plus Kepaoa. I also...

Never debated? I’m not sure if you’ve ever been on the wests tigers forum but (apparently) every thread there is a debate about Brooks 😂

That would be a brain dead move IMO. You don’t release a player hoping you might sign someone. You say to Joffa sit tight, we will have a look at alternatives. If we find a suitable alternative we will let you go, otherwise we need you here. Also there is nothing stopping the club playing any...

Did Ben Hunt tell you that personally or are you just making assumptions? Everyone knows the players that we’ve missed out on, but let me tell you a little secret, every club misses players. We’ve also signed a few good ones recently which proves it can be done.

I agree it’s worth asking, but whether we ask or not we’ll probably never find out.

Couldn’t bash the Tigers after we won so bashed his missus instead.

It definitely has a time and place. My concern is we still aren’t scoring enough. We have 2 wins but we scored less than 20 in both. I think our last tackle options are too conservative. We either put a bomb into the corner which we don’t contest or we run close to the line. We have a massive...

I dunno, apparently uncle Harry is a big fan and would be willing to chip in a huge third party deal.

I have to wonder if he can’t get the job done in the star studded Roosters team what makes him the man to get the job done for us? I don’t think he is going anywhere anyway.

We need to start buying players that walk into our starting 13. We have enough average players already.

That’s like trading a bag of 💩 for a bag of 🤮

A few years back he was struggling. A bunch of my mates are Panthers fans and they used to call him Edwards scissor hands because he always had a couple of dropped balls in him. No doubt the last 2 years though he has become an elite fullback. He is the perfect example of where hard work can get...

Not ours 😆

I feel dirty even suggesting this because I hate the idea of moving players here there and everywhere, but how about 9. Simpkin 7. Api 6. Brooks 1. Staines and Doueihi to centres. Simpkin has been a rare shining light for me in the rubbish dishes up so far. Api played 7 for Fiji and could...

I agree on Laurie, he is like the polar opposite to Dylan Edwards. However, experience tells me we’ll let him go, then upgrade some 19 year old who’ll never quiet make the grade and we’ll do the same thing over and over.

Where are all the long term options then? There are none that are off contract and slim pickings for next year. Signing a stop gap option is probably the only choice till we either develop one or have a chance to sign one.

Pros - Isn’t Luke Brooks Cons - Nil

The difference is they had a good roster that was under performing. We have an crap roster that is going crap.

It’s another missed opportunity for Adam. He could have become a national hero if he’d put one on Gamble’s chin like he was asked to.

Cam Smith? The same guy who argued with the referee about a penalty while a player lay on the ground with severe spinal injuries? The guy who signed 2 different contracts then claimed to know nothing? Give me a break. None of this shit matters when you’re winning.
