U probs right about Sezer, however we need an upgrade of what we have

He's a massive downgrade as is Hastings. NMN

To each their own opinion but in my opinion Hastings / Sezer would be an upgrade on Brooks. But havaing said that I'd happily consider any option other than Brooks at 7. I think Madden deserves a shot now- especially if other clubs are sniffing around at him- how are we to know if he has possibility f we dont try him?

Hastings and Sezer are in England for a reason. Ricky needed a half and by passed both to go with George Williams. Why? Other clubs need halves and give these two a miss.

Fair enough. Im not saying their great halves, but they are better halves, with better records than Brooks. As previously said, I'm not against other player options being considered, I just think the Brooks option at 7 has run its course. I know actually finding a good halfback is a difficult ask- but at least WT should be looking real hard for next season.

Sezer got the Raiders to a GF last season, Let's see if George can do the same.

While the pitch forks are out and the Brooks effigy burning is about to fire up, how do you feel about the forwards being rolled down the middle?

One repeat set would help with the fatigue factor. Just one....

 

[tigerap]

If we get Addo-Carr I don’t want him at fullback whatsoever.... he’s a winger and a bloody good one too!

Doueihi is improving rapidly as each week goes by and he’s still only 22, use to call for him to move to the centre’s but with a stronger halves combination and our forwards winning the ruck more often you’ll see the best of AD I reckon ....

1. Adam Doueihi
2. David Nofoaluma
3. BJ Leiluia
4. Tommy Talau
5. Josh Addo-Carr
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Luke Brooks

Hopefully we can get Widdop and JAC.... I’ll be extremely happy with that line up with our backline looking elite imo

Agree....we dont need JAC as a fullback on fullback money...AD will be much better next year once he overcomes his ankle issues...$600k for JAC, take it or leave it...or get Stains from Penrith for $450k

Yep .... current forwards are a worry. Need a forward leader and someone to partner LL in second row.

Brooks deserves some criticism this season, but Wally Lewis would have looked shit with Talau and Mbye full headless chook on the left, Benji like jelly on the right, and the middle lacking any aggression. Our defence was brittle.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Watching the dogs play, some of Foran's defensive efforts are reminiscent of one B Marshall yesterday. He's not the answer.

That should get you half a million pa or a bit more according to Johns on 9 a few minutes ago!

They didn't get any repeat sets because they kept scoring tries. That's never any good for your stats!

Well .... I would entertain a swap .... a young Harry Grant (who is 99% gone) for Cameron Smith to teach our dumb team how NRL is played.

Widdop far more valuable than Reynolds and that’s not even up for debate..... injuries happen not like Widdop has been plagued his whole career and he’s only 31 we need some experience too

He dislocated his shoulder 3 times in his last 2 years in the NRL, requiring 2 reconstructions.

 

[Tigrrs]

Doueihi would be good at 5/8 as he has a big body and can defend. I would throw everything at Burton to be half and Staines the fullback

 

[cktiger]

Not too many teams out there in need of replacing BOTH haves... tall order for Madge.
Let's face it - Brooks is never going to get us anywhere no matter who is next to him... we've sat on a fizzer for 6 years.
Benji and Grub are both past their best and offer very little. (Benji the rare glimpse of magic and Grub his overbaked enthusiasm).
Who knows how our current team would go if we had one competent half running the show, let alone two.
Here's hoping the rumours of Grub going to SL happens and Benji retires.
Only one left to get rid of then... and he has to go.

I don't think we can replace both at once.

 

[Aesopian]

U probs right about Sezer, however we need an upgrade of what we have

My 95 year old grandpa is a better option than Benji and brooks at the moment

Can he kick goals?

80% goal kicker. Has a mean cutout pass too

Train & Trial contract to start with obviously.

I'm a little bit concerned that the last competitive kick he made was in 1960. Hopefully he can regain that form
