We have plenty of coaches on here we will be fine whatever happens

Good attitude to have Snake.
Life goes on…
As you say quality coaches unearthed this year after given their opportunities.
Just looking back to when Mick Potter was our coach we had so many set moves and chanced our arm down the blindside from scrum wins.
I miss expecting the unexpected!

Responding to media speculation would be unprofessional… We wouldn't wanna look unprofessional now.. Would we?
I missed most of the game, but apparently Luani killed it for the panthers this evening. Plus they have Tyrone May as well… looks like panthers have options if Cleary decides to leave.
I can’t see the cleary’s going to the broncos - why move away from family and friends when you’ve got a number of suitors in Sydney? And if they go to the roosters, whilst it would suck to miss out on Cleary, I would gladly take Robinson as our coach.
I reckon Cleary Senior probably wants to move away from being seen as a rebuilding coach a la Brian Smith. So I can see how the Roosters job would be enticing. Overall though, I think it’s highly likely Ivan sticks around long term at the tigers, and a reasonable chance of Nathan coming here.

In the end result, for anything to move forward, the club has to make a call on the future of Brooks. If he stays we don't need Nathan or any other halfback, however, if Brooks is considered beyond improvement to a high standard half, and I think he has not done enough to show consistent high quality, a call should be made this year and a replacement sought for 2019\. Maybe Nathan would be interested in an early release or it will be another half. Where Ivan Cleary would stand in these decisions who knows?

Shortest halves pairing in the comp?

Release Brooks and Gamble.

My point is, you’re having a dig at Brooks, comparing him to a kid whose played 2 first grade games, and laughing about him showing more in those two games than Brooks has in 99\. What you seem to be missing though is how good Brooks looked in his debut, and how it drew comparisons to Andrew Johns. Now, did he live up to those expectations? Obviously not. But so far, Luai is no better than Brooks was in that game at the SCG. And as he proved, it can easily go south. So given the player you are mocking is a prime example of that, I’d wait a season before throwing Luai in his face.
