That's a back line with both speed and power. Burton definitely seems to play more eyes up footy who should hopefully compliment Brook's more structured style. Being that he is young may also help shy Brooks speak up and overcall some plays...finally.

Benji needs to go.

Back up reserve grade halves:
Reynolds (if he stays)
Madden
Walters

Mybe to 14 if Grant doesn't stay.

Get rid of Grub & Brooks get in Burton let Benji play on but get a Gareth Ellis/Beau Scott type next to him to cover all his turn style tackles.

I would rather see Benji go & keep Brooks, whilst Benji has been a great servant to the Tigers he is too dominant a player & appears to stifle Brooks game. The last time Brooks played without Benji he was Dally M halfback of the year.

As a fan base we really need to stop with this kind of reasoning.

If Brooks is dominated by anyone its because he is not good enough and is not the player we need.

Good halves work out a way to play with other good halves.

Excuses for him have dried up.

It wont stop Benji's pathetic one on one attempts. He is done.

Lets move on

So Barrett has said he wont raid Penrith's squad but surely that won't stop the Bulldogs chasing Burton. If he wants to follow Barrett it's not up to any one else to stop it happening.

I think it would be fair game because panthers have gRanted them to look because spots are taken and they can sort out their cap.

We'll get Burton, big chance Staines, Laurie will stay.

mate i hope your mail comes to through could be a game-changer ***kids looks like exactly what we need.***

How can you tell that from 5 games? I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, but people need to chill a bit.

Most people on here thought they could tell after 5 games from Grant.

I heard Lionel Messi is looking for a new club maybe we should sign him. I reckon he would be a good goal kicker

And if your forwards are being smashed? Sterling and Kenny would find it difficult to operate. What do you say to that?

Jack Cogger is has no contract for 2021. I’m sure tons of old Magpie fans wouldn’t mind cheering on another Cogger.

NMN.

If we can get Matt Burton and Charlie Staines that would be massive! Two very solid players and goal kickers. One not many are talking about is Tyrone May, defensively sound, very strong ball runner, breaks a lot of tackles, great kicking game as well!

Combine these guys with a strong fwd like Christian Welch who is a must imo we are on our way to a very good side!

Definite NO! from me for May.

Wow, after 2 games on the wing.

You would think people would be hesitant with long term high value contracts after Packer, Mbye and Reynolds.

Big no then. 3 years at 300-400k max.

What’s he played, two games? Even $300k a season is overs.

 

[jrtiger]

typical player manager driving his price up. we'll certainly be in the frame but it probably depends on moving the likes of Reynolds and M'Bye out of the club.

 

[weststigerman]

He's a 19 year old with a hamstring injury. How do we know he's not going to be like Moylan or Turbo with hamstring injuries. Not a good sign having hamstring issues so early.

We need to pay up to get talent, even if it's potential talent.

If you were interviewing for the same type of job with 5 different employers and got 5 offers, what would make you take the job with the least desirable employer? Money.

Unless we take some risks and buy on potential, we're going to be left with older, broken players and other clubs cast offs. Gotta role the dice otherwise we'll be crap forever.
