[tiger_one]

Brooks gone!
There goes the semis.

very true , now we r no chance.

That's terrible news for Luke. Looked like he, Doueihi and Hastings were starting to really click which was great for Laurie's form. So hopefully this doesn't harm any progress too much.

All the best in recovery Brooksy.

OH NO 🤯🤯🤯 who are the keyboard warrior's and coaches going to Bash now.

You might see Madden play an average game and get talked up as the next Andrew Johns.

 

[Halbrowne61]

I agree, try it, he is quick, he can turn on a dime, and defence good, i think he could be a brilliant half. Nothing to lose.

And JTJ to full back ? He’s had a couple of runs there in the Reggie’s. Might work.

Is the Brooks in your last post - Supposed to be Doueihi Man...
You're confusing me now.

lol gosh sorry
just realised the message I posted
it should have been
7. Hastings
6 douhie
13 Joffa

It makes sense now. I think it all depends on where they see Hastings. If they view him as a lock forward to improve our attack then we have to play him there.

I think you have to keep Doueihi at 6.

Maybe the club is thinking we have to play with someone like Hastings at 13 to improve our attack. So we play a different style to most other clubs in the comp and maybe if we click we can beat a lot of teams.

The downside is our forwards have gotten rolled heaps of times and Hastings is not an extra prop.

I really want to see Madden before he is let go.

6 - AD
7 - Madden
13 - Hastings

This is a chance for Madden and Doueihi to cement there spots as I feel that Brooks is not a wanted man and did play his last game with the Tigers last week.

 

[Needaname]

I don’t want to be overly cynical here but if Brooks is out for the remainder of this year and Newcastle is interested / does have cap money spare. Could they sign him this season in order to front load his contract with what ever money they have spare?
And
Could we use some of our Mikalee, Nofa money to chip in without damaging our future years cap?

Hopefully we see that this week. Madden has been written off by too many people too early.

Injury Update: Round 20​

Wests TigersTimestampThu 28 Jul 2022, 03:51 PM

Luke Brooks has been ruled out of Saturday’s Women in League Round match against Brisbane Broncos after picking up a calf injury in training on Wednesday.

Team physiotherapist Kenny Michalopoulos says Brooks can expect to be out for 5-6 weeks.

Jock Madden is likely to slot into half back against the Broncos with Jackson Hastings retaining his position at lock.

Interim coach Brett Kimmorley admits it’s a blow for Brooks but is confident his replacement is ready to fill the void.

“Jock has done well for us whenever he’s been called upon this season.

He’s a quality player and I know he’ll make the most of this opportunity.”
Brett Kimmorley

In other injury news, Luke Garner is hoping to be available for next weekend’s home game against the Knights after injuring his neck last weekend against the Cowboys.

Stefano Utoikamanu is recovering well after undergoing surgery a fortnight ago to repair his scaphoid fracture. He’s just commenced a running program.

Tommy Talau has recently commenced team integration and contact work. He’s progressing nicely and should return to full team training over the next month.

Shawn Blore is making steady progress as he continues to build on his speed and agility program.

Tommy Talau might come in handy next year if he can transition to second row.

That’s what we’ll see for the rest of the year

That’s the plan….

 

[Demps]

That’s the plan….

Hopefully he can handle it.

I know his fans but he's been disappointing since the start for me.

Saw him recently, in person... he's looking solid.

Can you imagine this pair. Under Sheens it could also happen.

" I thought we needed a running 5/8 who could tighten up the edge defence. A lot of people don't know Twally can kick with all 3 legs."
