so let's just throw handbags at 10 paces and agree on a completely different topic in a couple of threads' time, eh?

I don't agree one little bit with you trying to turn this into a scientific debate or raising logical fallacies. None of your points made any sense whatsoever because those concepts aren't relevant to a discussion which is completely subjective.

If you don't want to discuss the topic just don't. I'm not going to keep going after you or anything stupid like that.

I couldn't give a toss.

This is a funny one right. Walker is the odd one out there. Those guys were great players in both codes but they definitely killed it in league easily as much as they killed it in Union. I'd even argue they were better in league than in Union.

Plus it was a while back.

You don't see as many players cross codes and make it now.

Koro more than made it though. He was a top tier union player.

Yes, they do.

And yes, they are.

My final line was a weapons-down offering in regards to this discussion so that it could remain amicable. I acknowledge that most people aren't interested in this particular debate in the signings thread, so I made an attempt to wrap it up. It was a friendly, tongue in cheek, agree-to disagree summary.

Don't take it personally.

We're all out-gunned in arguments sometimes.

hey paws - you know our juniors pretty well. if we sign Dom Young, who do you think we can expect to leave the club?

I don’t know our juniors as well as @pawsandclaws1 but if they are worth their salt, they will welcome the challenge as, of yet they are unproven. Pretty sure they would take the same view.

Promising players with this attitude are the type we need to get back to the top.

Prima donnas that often think they have been hard done by, quite often don’t make it.

Wrong guy mate.. I have not said we are signing anyone and only comment on others saying we are. I do like to ask for updates though on rumours that have been posted 🤣 pretty keen on good news like others

I agree. He’s someone I would like to sign plus good goal kicker too.

We are either running with Laurie as FB or moving him to 5/8 and putting Staines there. We probably only want to pay one lot of FB money, with other positions the priority in recruitment. Just a guess though.

I remember the JAC game against the broncos where he absolutely smoked everyone for a length of the field try. It was so clear then that he was a mega talent. How can a whole first grade football department miss it?

Unforgivable

He had already signed with Melbourne by the time he debuted, in round 5 I think it was.
We wanted him to stay, he treated the club like crap.

can they afford Brooks?
think he may stay at weets tigers yet

You might have hit the nail on the head for next season but why would they make a play for the following 2 seasons and not want him next year.

You'd think (and I know you love Brooks) that the club would let him go at full freight if he has signed elsewhere for the following 2 seasons.

Facts...

He was a troubled kid before he got a run with us that had been moved on from Souths and let go by the Sharks....
Even then, The diehard Sharks didn't know much about him...

I've always been of the opinion that if Addo Carr didn't go to the Storm system - And Craig Bellamy, He wouldn't be what he is today - Out of Sydney and in a good System was what he needed.

I saw his last game for us in Reserves, It was nothing to brag about - You wouldn't have come out of it assuming he'd be an origin and kangaroos mainstay. No one else there thought he was a big loss... He had speed, But would get ragdolled a bit and had questionable hands.

I love the Fox, Glad to have seen him kick on....

Still remember him having a not so great night against us at LO and Bellamy making him run laps on his own after the game.... I think they still won though?

We have no young outside backs realistically pushing for first grade next year. Do you still at least a year away. If Young does join then one of Nof or maumolo will leave.

That is a massive upgrade for us and I reckon Nofo and Ken both offer a lot. I can't see it happening. I also don't know why we'd be shopping Ken. Sure he is slow and he does get caught out sometimes. He also scores tries via kicks and his extender arms. Plus he regularly gets big metres for us and busts the line.

I don't think they will as they have nobody they believe can play 7.
I know many on here including me think Hastings can play 7 but don't think Sheens wants Hastings to play 7. If Sheens did then Brooks would be gone if in fact he is signing in 2024 with Newcastle.
We have no Madden and with Hastings playing 13 Sheens will keep Brooks for 2023 and likely sit down and see what type of Arthur Ash he is looking for in 2024 and beyond. If a deal can be worked out he may well stay beyond 2023.
I have a feeling Sheens will push hard for Moses to come to club in 2024 and if Hastings is happy to play 13 we may well see
13. Hastings
7. Moses
6 Brooks
