So what you're saying, to pay Luke Brooks's wage. Two blokes have to play for free

What I am saying, to pay Luke Brooks's wage. Three blokes have to play for minimum wage, or 4 for minimum plus tigers tax (Wade Graham on 300?)

Maybe we should look at Jayden Sullivan?

 

[Tito Santana]

Haha he was like 18 back then.

Young races into top spot on Telstra Tracker

Newcastle winger Dominic Young earned a place among the NRL's elite group of speedsters last weekend after being clocked on the Telstra Tracker at a remarkable 38 kilometres per hour in Saturday's loss to the Sea Eagles.

averaging 134 running metres, 79.2% tackle efficency and scored 14 tries in 20 games @Tito Santana


is he still shit ?

Touché Tones

U can tell imo that Sheens is controlling the narrative as opposed to the shit show before he came back.

That's strong leadership and what the club has been missing.

Tim gave every board member a horse's head in their bed! The SheensFather

I think the two he’s talking about are Tallyn Da Silva (turns 18 in 2023) and Onitoni Large (turns 16 in 2023).

Da Silva is a hooker, Large is a five-eighth.

Onitoni is pronounced Ontony (like Antony but with an O) for those wondering.

So Ontman?

 

[Demps]

Where does this crap come from?
- lose the 3 guys we know can play 6, to try a guy that’s never played 6 and has been mostly average at 1…

Makes absolutely no sense…

Think it's a technique he uses to throw the attention off Brooks.

He wants everyone to go except Brooks.

It's very strange.

 

[Tim Sheens]

And all but you and another bloke are not sold on Brooks has had his chance, and want change after 9 years, thats also true

There are many others, including me, also wanting Brooks to stay at WT in the halves for at least 2023. Firstly, regardless of the club's lack of success, having watched him and our other signed alternatives over the past two seasons, he remains our best halves option for mine.

Secondly, he is both NRL standard and a club junior, which for me is the basis of my support for the club, which when later joining with another in Wests, subsequently kept it. So same goes for Nofoaluma and Doueihi, even if to a slightly lesser extent Doueihi, as he didn't start his career at WT, and others that came over as schoolboys.

I understand that most others don't have the same connection as those that either played in one of the local junior competitions, volunteered or had friends or family that did as part of the league community. As such, I am always for prioritising the keeping of juniors still at NRL level, at or close to market rate.

I like Ken. Love to see him when he’s fit.

Id also like to see Nofa refreshed.

I didn’t rate Dom Young but the more i think about it the more id like him as he has raw speed and nobody in our club seems to

agree he may well ask but Sheens won't strengthen another side by giving Newcastle a 7 in 2023 if he does not have what he thinks is a suitable replacement. If Sheens doesn't see Hastings as the 7 then he won't release Brooks in 2023 so Hastings can play 7 then sign Moses or someone in 2024 to play 7 and shift Hastings back to 13.
He will keep Brooks in 2023 and tell Newcastle to get stuffed you can have Brooks in 2024

Moses will never happen.

Parramatta and Brad A won't let him go.

Most probably in the Telecrap, in the fiction section.

All of the Telecrap is fiction

What do the boys here think about offering RTS a '24 contract? 3.5 mil over 3 seasons?

wonder which one of our kids will step up to be the face of the club.?

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Way better! Glad Peachey's gone!

Hear hear

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Been doing long days at work have I missed anything in the last 60 pages?

Nothing special, only speculation

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Ramsay is a very quick, clever and tough fullback. I've always wished we had him at our club.

He was a little lost early in the Piece but since shifting to fullback he has found his spot in NRL.
Not Tedesco but young and promising

looks scared with the weight he lost

Madge lacked strategic leadership qualities

Madge also named Mbye Captain in 2019. And we wonder why things never worked out.

 

[Hmm]

Did I just read someone say Dom Young is shit? He’s young and already tearing up NRL in a side as bad as us, he’s already ahead of nofa imo and Ken makes good metres and looked injured all year and if it’s true we are shopping him around it’s a bit disappointing, having a wing combo of Ken and Dom would be a huge help for our forwards both averaging around 120+ metres.

His own pride won't let it happen ...simple as that
