Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Viking Warrior]

Don't get why people need to crap on one of our promising rookies in Jake Simpkin all the time, let the kid develop and see how he goes. Clearly he's worth putting time into

If you like Liddle that doesn't mean you have to hate Jake Simpkin fellas, end of the day it's about the team not individuals ?

This is quite ironic. As soon as you criticise players like Simpkin or Hastings, it’s seen as unfair. Yet for players like Brooks, Noffa and Liddle, it’s open slather. To the point where a lot of it gets personal. I’ve seen Brooks called an imp, Noffa is constantly referred to as Nofoalooza. But it’s the ones who criticise darlings like Simpkin and Hastings that get called out for being unfair and should rein it in. Classic double standards.

The Simpkin thing is the same as brooks and Liddle . People built up their expectations , and when reality didn’t meet their fairytale , they turned on the player . It was obvious from 2017 brooks was destined for above average first grade half eg. Matt Orford career . But nope because he’s not the next Andrew johns , then he’s somehow a reserve grader ??
Same thing for Liddle and Simpkin is headed that way as well . They evaluate them on what they want them to be rather than what they are .

Brooks is a very average first grade half. He's in the bottom 4 for me and is a major reason why we remain average. This has nothing to do with me wanting him to be the next Johns although, wouldn't that be nice? Seriously, wouldn't it be nice if he had even a slither of the skill of Johns? I don't know why people are so passionate to defend mediocrity. These are professionals on loads of mon

Mate I’m not interested sorry . If you can’t see the forest from the trees , that’s on you . I’m not debating it . People who do this stuff for a living agree with me , to varying degrees I’m sure , but in general . That’s good enough for me. I tend to go an electrician for electrical faults . Or a plumber for water issues . And I don’t assume I know more than either . That’s the last thing I’m going to say . I hope you have a good night .

Hahahah great argument mate.

So just because he gets picked, that means he should be picked? You never met a bad plumber? A bad electrician? Dare I say it... a bad NRL player? Because that's what you're implying and it's naive. I have watched Brooks play for 7 years. I don't need to engage in comparisons with other professions but I did it to entertain you. He is not good enough to justify to amount of games he's played in such an important position.

No player makes it to almost 200 games if they can’t justify it. They get get weeded out way way earlier. He’ll retire with over 250 games. He’ll surpass Farah’s all time games record for us if he finishes a one club player.

What you've just said highlights the issue at the Wests tigers ahahaha

Brooks would still have been playing somewhere else if we punted him

Is there the slightest danger that we might focus on "Signing Suggestions & Rumours"?

By all means express your opinion but for the love of God put it into the appropriate thread. If I want to read about how Luke Brooks is responsible for everything up to and including the pandemic then I'll look at the Luke Brooks thread.

Least it’s vaguely on topic. As opposed to taking broad swipes at nameless individuals.

Unm what the he'll has this got to do with Signing players

Well you have to sign someone if Brooks leaves right? I’m asking who would be a better option. So there you go, on topic.

We already have his replacement Hastings

He’s not an answer until he proves himself.

And Brooks has proved himself? Anyway I'd swap Brooks for Thompson

He’s ahead of Hastings

How many man of steels and finals appearances has Brooks participated in. Any way not arguing this here, there is a Luke Brooks thread already

Straight up answered this 100 times . The consensus in the industry is that he’s a good footballer on a bad team , from what I’ve gathered . I’m right your wrong end of story . Let it go . You’ll get the next one . It’s ok .
I’m obviously joking . But still .. stop forcing your opinion . I don’t agree .

After a few pages of content here I thought I might find a spicy rumour, but alas it is much more disappointing.

Brooks is the worst player I’ve possibly ever seen. You ever walk outta of a movie and ask how did they get funding to make that movie? That’s how I feel when I watch him. He is so bad, if he was a movie he’d be Sharknado 3

 

[Fainu Brothers]

So the Josh Hodgson rumour is dead?

 

[The_Patriot]

Would expect a few strong rumours tomorrow.

One days grace to make it look like they haven't been talking to them for weeks

 

[Viking Warrior]

So the Josh Hodgson rumour is dead?

Bickering over money and Liddle probably

 

[Pascoes_barber]

So the Josh Hodgson rumour is dead?

Not yet? Rumour is Liddle swap.

 

[Deleted member 3518]

Liddle is perfect buy low candidate for a strong team , but seriously there’s no reason at all to ship him off to the Raiders . The Raiders want to get rid of Hodgson then that’s end of story . They pay us for the pleasure.

He’s never played in the ESL, so none. What a nonsensical argument.

Not at all one has had and knows success the other knows failure all to well .. success is success no mater where it is !

Money is certainly an issue - Raiders are trying to low ball us as they owe Hodgson a fair stack of change next year. They're trying to get away with paying about 25% of his contract while we foot the rest. Not quite sure WT see the value in that.

Would expect a few strong rumours tomorrow.

One days grace to make it look like they haven't been talking to them for weeks

Is that Hope mate or you know something ... Not asking for info if true

Always the same agitators being supported on here.

How many nothces on their belts now?

Mate, you are seriously just making things up now.

How many times did Yeahcaz and I engage since his return. I had NOTHING to do with him and he had NOTHING to do with me. He managed to get himself banned all on his own. Dont imagine things that are not there. It was a light hearted comment.

Wasn't talking about you.

And yet....seems you touched a nerve anyway.

I'll leave you guys to it. I didnt even engage with Yeahcaz.

I have to laugh at the irony of all the Discord boys grouping together to rail against "agitation" here on the forum.....Ill leave you boys to pile on against imaginary foes.

How do you know that may be going on?
Are you a member of there?

Donk, I didnt discuss anything that was going on "there". Relax mate.

We are discussing "Signing Suggestions and Rumours" here mate.

Not hope just just a mild kind of logical thinking on the matter.

Don't get why people need to crap on one of our promising rookies in Jake Simpkin all the time, let the kid develop and see how he goes. Clearly he's worth putting time into

If you like Liddle that doesn't mean you have to hate Jake Simpkin fellas, end of the day it's about the team not individuals ?

This is quite ironic. As soon as you criticise players like Simpkin or Hastings, it’s seen as unfair. Yet for players like Brooks, Noffa and Liddle, it’s open slather. To the point where a lot of it gets personal. I’ve seen Brooks called an imp, Noffa is constantly referred to as Nofoalooza. But it’s the ones who criticise darlings like Simpkin and Hastings that get called out for being unfair and should rein it in. Classic double standards.

The Simpkin thing is the same as brooks and Liddle . People built up their expectations , and when reality didn’t meet their fairytale , they turned on the player . It was obvious from 2017 brooks was destined for above average first grade half eg. Matt Orford career . But nope because he’s not the next Andrew johns , then he’s somehow a reserve grader ??
Same thing for Liddle and Simpkin is headed that way as well . They evaluate them on what they want them to be rather than what they are .

Brooks is a very average first grade half. He's in the bottom 4 for me and is a major reason why we remain average. This has nothing to do with me wanting him to be the next Johns although, wouldn't that be nice? Seriously, wouldn't it be nice if he had even a slither of the skill of Johns? I don't know why people are so passionate to defend mediocrity. These are professionals on loads of mon

Mate I’m not interested sorry . If you can’t see the forest from the trees , that’s on you . I’m not debating it . People who do this stuff for a living agree with me , to varying degrees I’m sure , but in general . That’s good enough for me. I tend to go an electrician for electrical faults . Or a plumber for water issues . And I don’t assume I know more than either . That’s the last thing I’m going to say . I hope you have a good night .

Hahahah great argument mate.

So just because he gets picked, that means he should be picked? You never met a bad plumber? A bad electrician? Dare I say it... a bad NRL player? Because that's what you're implying and it's naive. I have watched Brooks play for 7 years. I don't need to engage in comparisons with other professions but I did it to entertain you. He is not good enough to justify to amount of games he's played in such an important position.

No player makes it to almost 200 games if they can’t justify it. They get get weeded out way way earlier. He’ll retire with over 250 games. He’ll surpass Farah’s all time games record for us if he finishes a one club player.

Damn, no finals for a few more years yet people.
