How about we get Hastings and loan mbye. Lease to buy scenario

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

ESL is good footy... A. Different game I enjoyed watching when. I had foxtel... We had two ref's they stuck with one... They had. No where near as much wrestle we did

Strange why backs don't do as well as forwards out here


I would say its because they dont get the space they are used to in the ESL,defences are tougher to break down

I agree, they are used to space rather than having to bust tackles. 30+ years ago it was mostly British backs having successful stints in the NSWRL, ***hardly forwards at all.***

Back on topic. Is Brooks worth keeping for his defence over Hastings if this rumour is true? That Hastings is coming immediately

We have 2 roster spots and cap space available for Hastings immediately without releasing anyone..

Good point. The insinuation of the rumour mill, i gather, is that we want Brooks gone. I'd take Hastings and be done with it ... or release Mybe if we secure Hastings. Unlikely it will change our fate this year.

We don't want Brooks gone

IF Hastings arrived tomorrow, I agree with you ... at least for this season.

I’m really unsure why we would get rid of brooks now when he’s showing some form, I get it he slips in and out of form but we all know he has talent and if he does end up else where he’s going to destroy us when we play him just like Moses and teddy do. I think brooks will keep this form and improve on it tbh (may just be wishful thinking but I hope not)

There is little likelihood of Brooks leaving this year.
There is even less likelihood of Hastings coming this year.
Even if his ESL club released him early, by the time he got his flight here, did his hotel quarantine, did the 2 weeks training alone players apparently have to do, the season would be nearly over.

Like a lot of these rumours, when you apply a bit of common-sense it falls apart.

I expect to see Hastings at the club in the coming weeks.


I hope Im wrong but Williams to Wigan, Brooks to Canberra and Hastings to Tigers has a certain logic to it.

Why would Brooks need to go to Canberra Wests Tigers have roster spots and cap space to accommodate Hastings..


I dont know anything, but I can imagine a scenario where Canberra want to get rid of Williams, Tigers want Hastings, Williams wants to go home to Wigan...

Canberra will let him go if they can get a replacement they are happy with (Brooks), Wigan will let Hastings go if they can get a replacement they are happy with (Williams) and Tigers will let Brooks go.

In that scenario, all three parties would have to know and the first domino to drop would be Williams immediate release. If Tigers didnt let Brooks go, Canberra dont let Williams go and the whole thing doesnt work.

Not saying this is what is happening, just I can see the logic in it (I dont see Hastings as a suitable replacement for Brooks...yet).

Pretty sure Williams has already been released by raiders effective immediately, due to him refusing to appear at training or something...?



yes I know, thats my point

Sorry must have mis read your post...

 

[happy_tiger]

Raiders should bring him out for the rest of the season ...we can get a close up view ..maybe let them keep him then

 

[Demps]

So like no where at all it says we want him immediately?

And if we did, we couldn't... because of isolation restrictions and whatnot?

Oh OK....

Totally different game now 5150. If V'landys has his way it will be closer to Tiddly Winks than what we knew as Rugba Leegue.

The Radley fiasco was just ridiculous. Surely the NRL must be joking, I must have missed the "punch" line - Oh! sorry that's out too.

We need to win 10 games to have any chance of finals.
Can't see us getting there from a base of just 3 wins.
Hastings would be very unlikely to arrive in time to turn the season around even if Wigan released him next week - which won't happen.

lol Hastings was the name thrown about. It could have been anyone half decent. The reasons people wanted Brooks dropped weren't about two games. People had rightfully questioned whether after 150 and zero top 8 placings he was the guy. Don't let facts get in the way of a win though!

Do you think DCE is better? How does he look without Turbo? The strike weapons make a half look good or bad. Brook's created many opportunities yesterday that were wasted by his team mates.

A half controlling the middle is doing a specific job. He decides if the team should attack up the middle or to get the ball wide to a playmaker or strike player on a side if see sees an advantage in numbers. He is not there to singlehandedly win the match.



Ok so now its his outside men who let him down.

Love these type of comments lol.

The DCE point is salient however. DCE plays the games of his life in Origin, can't remotely back it up at club level because his team is thin. **Manly close to one of the worst teams going around in 2021.**

This comment has not aged well.

A Turbo makes all the difference

Well exactly - one of the worst teams going around, until the best player in the league comes back in.

Can we install a turbo?! :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:

It's a bit unfair that Manly are allowed to run a twin turbo set up.

They have Tommy Turbo and the Saab Turbo.

And Jake Turbo, but he is a diesel.
