in brooks we trust, also bring back tiger5150

This wasnt me, Im just saying

Hey, welcome back. I thought you were banned?

Cant keep a good man down ;-)

Hmm, I see you felt the need to whinge to Kul over an argument which you started and deservedly earnt a stint in the cooler. I trust you've learned your lesson.



Wow. Are you serious Willow? Firstly you, as a MOD publicly discussing a PRIVATE email between myself and another person THAT ISNT YOU? IMO that is utterly disgraceful and without checking the terms and conditions of this forum I’d be very surprised that if someone else publicly exposed a private message, it would be ban worthy. But here we have a MOD publicly discussing a private email I had with a third party. Disgraceful.


Have I learned my lesson? My ban was apparently for a “personal attack on Compensate”. My last post wasn’t addressed to Compensate. I didn’t start anything with Compensate. I didn’t say anything that wasn’t a statement of fact. I was very careful. The final post I got banned for was not an attack on anyone. It was a simple statement of fact which simply repeated what Compensate said. It hasn’t even been deleted because there is/was nothing wrong.

As far as “whinging to Kul”. I was banned and genuinely had no idea what for because I was actually careful NOT to personally attack Compensate. The only avenue of communication provided is an email address which from memory is contact@weststigers.com. I had no idea that that is Kul, could have been you. I just assumed it was a mod. Last thing I ever thought would happen would be another mod then publishing what I said in a private email.

No doubt you will have your nose out of joint with this post, probably ban me again. I hope people see this before you do

@cochise

If a mod is leaking private information on the forum then they are not fit to be a mod. I’ve been banned in the past when this mods favourites have had a go and they haven’t been banned. For this mod to be engaging this out in the open is disgraceful. Unless we are in North Korea and this kind of behaviour is ok?

Well said Tigerpower. Throw me into that same category.
This mod does whatever he likes on here and hands out bans like confetti, usually undeservedly or within the shadow of petty revenge.
There’s a reason many members are stepping back from these forums lately.
Ego’s are out of control with some in power currently. It is sad, it is pathetic and certainly not the way a man behaves.

Just wondering how you know all this? You have only been here for a couple of weeks? Unless you have been here before under another name?

Well obviously he has. A few using Tiger5150’s experience to grind their own ax. It’s such a terrible, oppressive place, yet they can’t stay away. Kind of like when right wingers complain about how unfair Twitter is….on Twitter

You talking about Nofa?

This makes little to no sense. Another quality contribution ??

 

[tony soprano]

So apparently Luke Thompson is great mates with Gildart who is trying to get him across to Tigers....but he isn't considering it. Is this a Madge issue again? Our recruitment ability must be some of the worst in the world taking into account all sports......

Could be many factors. Thompson price and behavioural issues would be a start

Brooks’ management is understood to be pushing for a release with it previously reported that he would prefer not to be coached by Michael Maguire.

The Bulldogs and Knights have both been linked to the playmaker, with Newcastle potentially on the lookout for a new halfback with Mitchell Pearce pushing for an exit to Catalans.

It was only on Saturday that Brooks was floated as a suitable replacement for Pearce, who is expected to request a formal request over the weekend to leave the Knights.

Trent Barrett’s men, on the other hand, already have a halfback in Kyle Flanagan and would find it hard to move him on.

As a result, any move for Brooks would require the Bulldogs to, at least in the short-term, accept two halfbacks eating up a fair chunk of there salary cap

ANOTHER GOOD REASON FLANAGAN WAS OVERLOOKED AS ASSISTANT COACH

 

[tony soprano]

Wow coming out and saying Brooks doesn't want to be coached by madge is a huge statement.

Declaration of war.

Thompson sounds like a headache.

They just keep on making up stories - nothing more than clickbait, but it works everytime.

Safe to say Brooks manager wants him gone.

Who manages Thompson?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If all that is true and Thompson is an anti vaxxer and the Dogs would rather be free of that headache, I doubt another club would want to inherit that headache. I’d assume all clubs would have the same stance on players being vaxxed. I’m a bit shocked the NRL haven’t mandated it. And if it isn’t true, Thompson could sue for slander.

I agree Tony. Surely the club are currently talking to Brooks in relation to this claim by his manager? But at the same time the statement needs to be put into context..”he would prefer not to be coached by Michael Maguire.” may mean something else entirely? Lol. Is it possible that much of WT problems can be traced back to the way they managed this infiltration attempt by Brooks’ management? Perhaps similar to what Broncos and Knights have experienced? Was our Cleary experience also in the mix? When you join all the dots, well, in ain’t pretty. ☹️

Good point mate.

Paper Talk...

In saying this Brooks is a good 1st grader with tons of Talent, however his decision making ability and vocal leadership is what has stopped him from becoming a Gun Half back in the NRL.

He needs to play with a organiser, I'm not sure AdamD is that man and I'm really looking forward to seeing Hastings.

I'd give him 1 more year to see if sheens makes a difference.

I think Brooks silence would be defening if he doesn't say anything about that statement

 

[oldschooltiger]

Brooks is due for a big 2022.
2014- Dally M Rookie of the year.
2018- Dally M halfback of the year
2022- ????

 

[bigsiro]

Man if we could move Brooks on and only have to pay half his contract, that would be an enormous win. He's a 150-200k a year player at most.

Not only is he a liability on the field, he is now an up-start off it.
I would pay his full contract to move him on.
Hopefully he won't play in our colours again.

1 more year? Jesus how many times can people say that?
Over it!

Not sure why. We’re bottom 4 with or without him, better to take that money and sign a player actually worth what he’s on.

We have no depth in the halves going into next season. If we had a superstar junior coming through it might be a different story but given our halves generally play behind a beaten forward pack, it would be like a lamb to the slaughter.

..then buy a dominant middle forward(which we need anyway)!!
If anyone wants to take Brooks off our hands for anything like the ridiculous $$ were paying him...go rite ahead!!
..and with the spare change we'll find a back up half back
Whinging Brooks is poor bang for the buck in our environment...he doesnt wish to be here..we can do better,and deserve better

My view is that he’s on a big contract for the next two years and it’s a bad contract for the club. If there’s a way out of it, we should jump at the opportunity. It will make us marginally weaker for ‘22 but we’ll be bottom 4 regardless.
