Adam Doueihi #227

Besides which he obviously doesn't regard him as a halfback if he's looking to buy a replacement already.

Surely no one is viewing Brooks as the answer at 7 anymore. It's about who is the best 6 for the team.

The stats appear pretty clear cut that Doueihi is better.

I think the issue is contract cost. I know this doesn't sound right but it's not the current contract that is the issue but the next contract.

I'm not sure about this. I think Sheens tried to get Doueihi and Hastings to re-sign with us but then balked at the contract costs.

I accept that I've also heard Sheens talk about speed in your position as well.

aahh yes statistics ....
Brooks has won Dally M halfback of the year
Don't believe Douhie has...
Let's see if Brooks can do a restructured deal like Lawrence did if he can do that then his money can be spent on other players e.g. Moses

[This word has been automatically removed] me dead is that all people have to say "but but Brooks won dally M" so did Ben Barba in 2012 & what happened to him shortly after? anyone can have one good season which is what Brooks did, but has he backed it up since? no he hasn't. The past 4 years & majority of his career has been a resounding failure failing to lead our team to any sort of finals football.
 
Also I just want to point out the way the Dally M works Brooks getting halfback of the year doesn't necessarily mean he was the best halfback that season. It means he was the best player in a team where there were no other standouts so he was constantly getting the 3 points every week.

Earl Sheens wanted Hastings as a 13 not a 7, if he had wanted Hastings as a 7 he would likely still be at wests tigers.

Marshall determines who stays or goes for contracts extending into 2025.

Brooks will have to accept a revised contract to stay and play in the halves.

Moses will be the other half if he signs.

Doueihi will play another position if he stays and accept less $.
