Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yeah I know I was agreeing with you

was non existent in the 2nd half of the manly trial but sometimes all it takes is a player like hastings to unlock your ability

Maybe Hastings can do what no one else can do and that’s unlock Brooks ability.

Yep,hes been outstanding with the ball in the trials,although his defence not really tested.It suits him to play smaller minutes..but he looks fitter than ever
Cowboys may not have overpaid after all

The only reason he's going is the money.
He loves the Tigers and wanted to stay.
If he plays like this all year they might want to make it worthwhile to change his mind.

At the $$$ Brooks is on,its not up to anyone else to unlock his ability..he shld have done it for himself ages ago rather than rely on others...and shld now be the mentor of others!!

Sadly He has a track record of being a Poor return on investment,

We are close to having some good options.

Respectfully, Its time to look beyond

if only our prima donnas have at least a part of Michael Jordan's, or Stephen Curry's attitude.🙏

That'll be hastings, win at all cost attitude i reckon

Dylan Walker signs with the Warriors 3 years from 2023. Not many elite 'uncontracted' outside backs left on the market to try to sign as @THE_POM mentioned we are trying to recruit as player #30. Still hoping it's a contracted player like Zac Lomax that we are working on under the radar.

You really think he was better than Cleary, DCE, Reynolds etc? 🙄

 

[rihannafan1]

That part of the article just sounds like he is taking a pure guess with no substance to it. They have a gun half coming through in Latu Fainu. Won't be far away from playing 1st grade in 2023 as it is.

Exactly. Mates with the agent and is talking up his player. How else would he get any legit goss?

4 years ago..and the decision was as bizarre then as as it sounds now..coinciding with the demise of the teams fortunes subsequently
Hastings recruitment has acknowledged the issue at 7

Once more - Tuilagi is the best second rower at the club.

He's gone though as of next season. No point worrying about him we need the next candidate to step up.

You know well that even when Brooks does receive recognition, he didn't deserve it. The thing with Hastings is he will only succeed if he has a partner in the halves with genuine pace. You and I know Hastings has no pace so while many believe Hastings will bring the best out in Brooks, I am of the view Hastings needs Brooks to bring the best out in him. Let's hope they both go well.

Probably not, he just benefited from being in an average team and picking up majority of the man of match awards

That was a skewed result, be real.

100%.
The best halves that year were in star studded lineups.
There would be games where they won, personally performing excellently and didn’t poll points as one of the internationals in their teams stood up more.
Brooks benefitted for being a recognisable name in an average team. If we won, he polled points…warranted or not.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Probably not, he just benefited from being in an average team and picking up majority of the man of match awards

Yet only the overall medal winner automatically gets the positional award, so his point score was only part of his. Debatable, maybe, but was certainly at the level of any other half under Cleary and his win was by no means a controversy.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

That was a skewed result, be real.

so the award doesn't suit so it is skewed ok..

he played very well in 2018 much better than some on here give him credit for,

Exactly, Brooks appears the type of player who could acquiesce at times, while at the same time, being loyal, supportive and fiercely competitive. You want these guys in your team, but you need to manage them well and not leave the job to mediocre players or coaches, who will bring him down to their level. A player like Hastings would be a good halves partner because he’s going somewhere.
