GNR, Batboy & Jedi sitting in

GNR doesn't even like Brooks

So he says.
Not sure what he's doing...

And I don’t think you even like Madden

And I don’t think you even like Madden

I don't hate him but I wasn't arguing he's the GOAT, just that with the little we've seen of him - it's hard to debate if he's better or worse.


Whereas the other hand, we've seen enough of Brooks to make such opinions.


Furthermore, I know we all hate him.... not sure it's even a real discussion worth having but Mitch Moses is better than all of them.

It appears at least new coach Benji can see what a lot of us can and is not overly interested in keeping Brooks. Thank God we now have someone with some common sense. Hopefully something comes up with Newcastle again and we can get rid of him,despite that it will cost us a bit I think there is more to gain from not having him around for another year.

Allegedly.

According to the 360 "experts"
Love for it to be true - time will tell.

Their current contracts are irrelevant when it comes to team selection week to week.

I agree with this but this season is over. We need to look forward. Who are we going to pick out of the 4 halves on our books to try and dig us out of the hole we are in ?

Brooks is 27. Doueihi is 23 and Madden 22. Hastings is 26.

To me Brooks and Doueihi are running 6's and because Hastings is a big half they are getting away with playing Hastings at 13 where he is basically playing as a 7. I don't see this working longer term and I think the club should just bite the bullet and make some longer term decisions.

Brooks has just had his time here - needs to go for his sake and ours. Yes he was the Dally M half back of the year but in that same year Joe Leulia was the centre of the year and Blake Ferguson winger of the year - and hopefully they are not on our radar.

Moses IS good..but not so great for team harmony and brings a lot of rubbish with him,starting with his manager/uncle etc

I don’t think we’re going to have to worry about what negatives Moses brings.

Just saying...Id rather hire elsewhere in the extremely unlikely circumstances that we'd consider back to the future
Disloyal grub...

 

[TIGERPOWER]

here is a prediction
Jock Madden will never ever get a halfback of the year.
He is not first grade standard

Here’s a prediction, we never pay finals as long as brooks is in our team.

It's backed up by years of evidence 😂

He's right though...

It seems very unlikely.
Benji can want whoever he wants, doesn't mean he'll get them.

If the story is even true.

Also years of evidence that we’re just a rubbish club. 3 years of finals in 22 tells me it goes beyond one player.

With two men who were responsible for a decade of that record? There’s irony in backing them, yet crucifying Brooks.

 

[Demps]

😂😂

What's the worst that'll happen?

 

[batboy]

He's stuck behind Brooks -
Never injured & never dropped.

His career won't advance in that circumstance.

What's Brooks reason for him never being able to control a game of go to another level ? Get the excuse book out - many to choose from.

Never saw Farah or Marshall control a game either....
"We coulda won by 8"

Now theyre on board to help coach the next generation....

Imagine the possibilities.
