Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

@Jedi_Tiger

They just announced during the game that the Sharks have tabled Ramien a 3 year deal and he will accept.

I'd prefer we chase Kayal Iro at a cheaper rate

Most of our team right across the park looked way better than last year. Okay it was only trial, but having a big fast forward pack makes a massive difference. So I think everyone should hold fire on Brooks and give him a chance to show his wares playing behind a good pack. If after a month and he is still struggling, sure go for the jugular, but till than I think he deserves some slack

Brooks and Douhie are playing for their spots this year. No excuses now.

Only one has a contract for next year though.

Give Brooks some game time before crucifying him please? IMHO, he’s here to stay and we will see why this season.

I really don't think I'm crucifying Brooks. I think my assessment of Brooks is pretty fair.

I also really hope he performs. I like him as a person.

A half is pretty useless in a team which isn’t playing footy, with a forward pack that gets rag dolled every week.

If Moses comes in 24, then Doueihi moves to 13 or finds another club, as dissapointing as that may sound to many of us, but he is not the zippy pivot we need. He’s very predictable, particularly with his passing. Don’t get me wrong , I want him in the team somewhere, but not 6 or 7. If it comes to a choice between him or Moses at 6, then the choice is clear.

Moses ain't coming here to play 6

I've never seen Brooks be as dominant in a game as AD was yesterday paws. I honestly think Moses and AD would compliment each other far more than Brooks

Moses and Brooks - both quick, one plays right side and the other left side, one has a right boot, the other left and both have strong defence. Moses quite a dominant player. Brooks with ability to skip to the outside of his opponent to create the overlap. Both having played together throughout the juniors and early years at WTs.

I would be surprised if the coaching team did not discuss the future halves pairing prior to making the d to chase Moses.

Moses ain't coming and Brooks is plan B. Happy monday

Or the decision to extend AD?

I hope it works out for him.

 

[Dennisspicer1]

I think most of us want to win games and we care less about the players. I think you want to push the line that Brooks is a better player than AD. I'm not buying that.

I can easily beat your argument. Moses and AD would win us the comp. I'm not stating it's true but the question is who is better Moses and AD or Brooks and Moses.

AD played better in that one game than Brooks has played in the last season.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

AD even hinted he can play fullback and has in the past.
If Moses arrives in 2024 AD will either be 13 centre of fullback.
If Moses doesn't sign in 2024 I don't think Brooks will be here either we will be looking for a new 7

 

[pawsandclaws1]

AD played better in that one game than Brooks has played in the last season.

The NQ game last year?

if Brooks signs it will be for 24 25 and 26 it won't be for one year

 

[The Fresh Oil]

@mods- can we put trigger warnings on the brooks brigade posts? seeing the numbers 24, 25 and 26 near Brooks name gives me nightmares.

Thx.

[twentyforty]

IDK about that? Doueihi was under instructions to take control of the round 2 game, manage the game. He had a 6 jersey.

 

[426Tlgerland]

I would be locking up,young James on a couple year deal now , he is the real deal , make it happen Before he is poached from us

 

[bathursttiger1]

If big ken is cooked and we do somehow manage to get him medically retired who do we think comes in or should we bring in to the top 30?

Aitisa James.
