Who was in our halves for our 4 wins ....Hastings definitely 3

But if he wants to [This word has been automatically removed] and moan about who he is playing with ...send him back to Gladstone ...we will find someone to bop him again lol

Well I didn’t see you quote the part where he said he won’t play anywhere else or jump ship.
I’ll remind you of a quote that’s been spouted out more than once though…
“It’s my team” Luke Brooks.

I didn't state anything about him jumping ship. He just wants to play 6.

In all seriousness I'm hopeful the Brooks discussions just go away because he goes to Newcastle.

Our spine was atrocious last year. Brooks is quick and has the best all round kicking game out of all our options in the spine but we came dead last. Something needs to give.

Except nowhere has he actually said he won’t play 13.
This has come from Brooks fanboys.
The same fanboys who say if he’s not happy here get rid of him… all the while forgetting Brooks has asked for a release more than once.

did he ?
if the Newcastle deal was a sure thing wouldn't it already be announced ?
If Sheens wanted Brooks gone he would be gone already for 2023

Which to me says Hastings was fine at 7.

I have to say that there is a heap of speculating and panic from some .....
Everyone can have their favourite player playing in their favourite position....
Hastings has been given an opportunity to play back in the NRL by the WTs,he may well be dissapointed that Madge was sacked or he may have also been spotted by Sheens when he was in England and was promised something that hasnt came to fruition,I have no idea as Im not privy to any info whatsoever from inside the club...
Having said that,in my opinion as a member,supporter and fan of this club,the team played very well when Hastings played in the 7,he lead and organised the team around the park,something that has been missing for awhile..
for all the great players on this forum,I can say that speed doesnt always win you the game but footy smarts does...Hastings has smarts that we desperately need,but if he choses to leave,then thats up to him...and Im a fan of his....

Plus WT best footy was played when robbed against the cows, when biases are put aside, surely most would agree that both our best combination was on the field as part of our best performance of the season.
 
This shite about Hastings & Doueihi
not wanting to play certain positions
is an absolute beat up. Stop giving it life.
Brooks' situation has exacerbated
every conspiracy theory possible.
All 3 are contracted for next year
as it stands, fit in where U get in

That was probably our best game against a good side, Also thought the first game against Parra was pretty good footy...

It really is garbage but it highlites something to me.

Ask fans of the successful teams who their 1, 6, 7 & 9 are.... You will get 4 answers the same for each position.
Ask us about our 1 6 7 9.... We don't know wtf or who tf is playing where and neither did the coaching staff last year... No wonder we got the spoon

Well said brother.
I think even we supporters add fuel to the fire that's smouldering, nothing but fumes.
It's getting boring tbh.

Yeah, first win of the season with a field goal at the death, and a similar story against the Bunnies the following week wasn't it?

Can understand the want of a messiah coming to the rescue as many expressed, none more so than the youtube podcast guys with Hastings, as all of us had some hope, but even they became somewhat more realistic as the season progressed.

Even if some, including Pascoe, think that Jackson doesn't contribute enough by putting his body on the line there, unless there is a better option or particular reasoning, I want him at 13 and extending beyond 23.
 
The spine was bog average and looks much the same next year - apart from.the inclusion of Api K. Hope he makes a significant difference to the forwards getting innthe front foot.
To make matters worse injury suspensions forced the spine to change almost on a weekly basis. No continuity in combinations what so ever.

Hundred percent agree ink. Helps
If you know where you're playing.
Chopping and changing doesn't
Help either, no slight on Madge
Given our torrid Injury list this year.
x4 time prem winner T. Sheens
with his mates Furner, Benji & Faf
would have watched this year
closely though. I trust them to make
The key decisions bro. I'm not that
worried about where the peices fall
into place so long as they fall into place

At 7 - 3/11
At 6 - 0/2
At 13 - 1/3 (Which really was 2/3 - Against top 4 sides no?)

Could argue he's better (for the team) at 13.

It's not much to go on is it. The problem is we lost a lot of games.

I can see the advantage of Hastings at 13. He would be the best ball playing lock in the comp playing basically as a 7. Then you can have two running 6's. It gives us a point of difference.

The thing is at this point in time it's just all BS opinions. We have to wait and see the roster we have for next season plus injuries will play there part. We also need to see who performs.

Probably didn't help Douehi wasn't available for the 1st 3 months ...but our spine was 16th/16 ....and before someone says Newcastle I'd take Ponga and Brailey with Happy and Hobbo in the 6 and 7 over our spine ...well maybe not Hobbo ...happy and Ink perhaps lol ..but you get my drift

For sure mate....
From my point - He's 2/3 at Lock (With a 2 point Loss in the 3rd against Penrith)

I can promise you what the argument would be if he were playing lock
(As was bought) with the same stats at 7
