Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Was thinking wonder if there could be a consideration to let Seyfarth explore other options? With 3 new 2nd rowers incoming and previous interest from other clubs could he be surplus to requirements if they see others ahead of him? Free up a spot to go for a quality front rower??
There are no quality front rowers available and Seyfarth will now be part of our middles rotation.
He always does his job when playing as a middle coming off the bench, he was only starting on an edge as we had virtually no other options.
 
And talk he has signed with the Knights, but would be a great signing for us if he is still talking to clubs
I agree he is just what we need, mobile and tough plus not a “big name big pay packet” who could detract from our maturing pack.
Also think he could slot into lock to start games with Latu taking over to create havoc.
Hope Richo has this guy or similar in mind
 
What’s this fixation with people constantly repeating that Brooks will be the main man cos DCE is gone. Do you not realise they have signed Fogarty? You see, Manly figured out in a year, what we couldn’t in 10. He is not a halfback or an organiser. He’s a runner. They probably already knew that when they signed him.
brooks will be ar St Merge if they can work out a deal
 
Brooks should probably head to the ESL. Not really sure what team would take him on. He's gonna be 32 next year at best is a fringe first grader at this point.
 
I dont know.
Who?
I don’t know either, but Isaac controls the club at present and no doubt he will want to slot another coach he manages in there. Maybe Isaac has some good assistant coaches ready to step up? Or I wonder if with Peter Parr becoming the new GM at Newcastle he will seek to cut the cord with Issac like the Broncos did when they got rid of Siebold.
 
Brooks should have had a better career should have been made 5/8 at the beginning of his career in the NRL
Isn’t that where he started,with Moses as 7, way back when they were an upcoming dynamic duo at the Tigers ?
Think he moved to 7 after Moses left but my memory fading .

He's really no better as a 5/8 than he was as a halfback. I don't really agree. I think he's a below average half wherever you play him. The problem with him at 5/8 is that he stifles backline movements when the ball has gone wide with always taking the wrong option. He gets more chances to run out wide but I think he's more threatening as a runner through the middle. But wherever he plays he reads the game really poorly so he makes errors and misses opportunities and never knows when best to make the play. That's why I sort of think he's just as good (or bad) at halfback. If you could pair him with a 5/8 like Munster maybe he'd be better at half than his current form as a 5/8.

Irrespective, there are very few halves in the NRL who you'd say are worse than him, and half of them play for Newcastle.
