Jahrome Hughes

Straight swap for Brooks ...

...and they can keep Momirovski

Sounds like an unpopular opinion - I don't rate Jahrome Hughes. Major Milford vibes.

Wouldn't throw the money being suggested that's for sure, and that's why the Storm wouldn't keep him at that money too.

Solid in an incredible system, but a Milford in any other team.

I’m a bit the same.probably better than what we have,but I think he would struggle behind our pack

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Hughes as a fullback would be good

100% agree... I would take him at 500k max and that won't get it done anyway..
With the team they have even Brooks would look like a Top line halfback...

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Yeah I'm sure he's dying to play for us

Why wouldn’t he, if we offer the right incentives.

Sometimes I struggle to understand why players think of a club other than the money they offer, they are only init for a little while.

They should be setting themselves up for the future.

Unless we pay 30-40% more than any other club, players will take less to go to a successful club.

Also, IMO the NRL is a fairly close network among players and players would be embarrassed to be WT players.

I **believe some ex players masquerading as commentators influence current players**. We know our Chair took the NSW SOO coach to task. As a professional commentator you really must be aware of perceived and real conflicts of interest as well as bias, either deliberate or unintended.

Yes this, a thousand times!

Bloody oath! I have huge wraps on this guy, I reckon he could be as good as Thurston in future years.

It’s Furston and I totally agree

@Geo Hughes > Brooks

Right so he's garbage and getting carried by his team, yet for 2020 in comparison to his halves partner Munster had: more line breaks; more tries; more tackle breaks; more line break assists; more try assists (15 to 7); more forced drop outs; and a better tackle efficiency. I guess it must have been the extra game he played...

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I'd take him. He can play at fullback and Doueihi could move to 5/8.

Only problem is what happens to our marquee #14?

No one is disputing he had a good season.

I just don't see his form lasting.

 

[teddy23]

May be the only one, but I do not want him at all I feel as if you take him out of that Melbourne team he’d be a nuffie

Picture Brooks next to Smith, Munster, Papenhyzen with JAC and Vunivalu as his wingers imagine the player he’d be.....

Much prefer keep Brooks, unless a better alternative presents themselves

Storm low balling players..what a basket case..

Im with you. He has been to a few clubs before the Storms and could never crack a spot, all of a sudden under Bellamy he looks a world beater. IMO he is a player who will come back to earth away from the Storm system.

If you look at the way he plays though he is more a runner/solo player rather than a traditional halfback working with his entire team.

A lot of his tries this year were off taking the line on, evasiveness and speed - something that the players around him don't have too much impact on. Whilst maybe not as affective, I still believe he would offer some impact in another club.

Though I believe Tigers have more important positions to be filling before taking on a 700K + half.

 

[Chainlink]

Yes yes. Would fit the bill for positions we need. Establish first grader who can play half and fullback, both positions we need some class. Move brooks to 5/8 and give him less pressure.

 

[gregjm87]

Could make a decent fullback for the tigers, but not worth the asking price in my opinion.

Forgot he can play fullback - wouldn't be a bad pick up for that position but I feel our longterm plan would be to have Laurie there. I really want to see a Brooks/AD halves combination in 21.

 

[Russell]

Good player. He is a better halfback than he is fullback though.

Great, I have always thought we should try Brooks at 9, he is quick, can tackle and can pass under pressure.

Don't need a 9 - we have the mighty Liddle.

Agree he would be a complete nuffie outside of the storm system

 

[happy_tiger]

Take him tomorrow ..no questions asked .....Brooks before he forgot how to run the ball with attitude
