Do you know for years now he has been buying up all the buildings around East league's club and is giving it all to East when he dies so they can be a power house for years to come

Yeah, he sure has

We need to sign Moses & Tuivasa-Scheck shift Brooks to five eighth & Doueihi to centre & that instantly makes us a top 8 team.
Imagine this backline.
Tuivasa-Scheck
Bula
Naden
Doueihi
Tupou
Brooks
Moses

That would gives us an organising halfback a running five eighth two tall fast athletic wingers twpo very tall & skilful centres & an awesome fullback Tigers give them more we need them.

Why would anyone who wants our team to win continue selecting Brooks, When he alone helps us to lose games,
He is so good at it, been doing it for 10 years now.

I still hold onto hope we can get Moses

I have a Harbour Bridge for sale if you are interested. 🥃🕺🤣

Not picking but many times brooks has had chances to win alot of close games or put us in a position to win those games .10 yrs is a long time

I agree with both points. Brooks hasn't been a great player or anywhere near it but he has also been in a dud team.

Maybe that has extended his career or maybe it's made him look worse than he is.

I'm pretty confident he isn't the problem though apart from his inflated salary.

Last week he was caught with the ball on the second last tackle 4 times for a halfback that is diabolical.

This is a dumb statement without stating what did the other guys do when they got in on the 5th. I'll give you the answer - they had their chances and they did nothing.

Sure it's a valid argument it Brooks was Andrew Johns and we were relying on him to win us the game but that makes this same argument null and void. He isn't Andrew Johns and we don't want to be building around Brooks.

I wouldn't renew his contract though either unless he shows us some rare form this season.

Brooks represents exactly what WT are. Pottential but always failing. All the promise and nothing but lip service at the end.

 

[Tiger Tarl]

So are we getting Moses or has that ship sailed?

It’s the same video as last time only with a different receiver.
Brooks says exactly the same things only this time what he says doesn’t match the receivers response.
I call fake.

I think Mosses will stay at the Eels our camp should be looking at spending those 1.3 million on 2 players not one who can help out big time
Fullback and Centre each player would get $ 650 k plus outside extras or
$ 800 and $ 500 k
a gun and an up and coming gun just outside or first grade at a Better club , they are out there we just need to grab them

Boring ! You dont get it ! For 10 years the side has been sliding,, For the last 5 shocking. Lot's of sheep follow the Brooks target, but superman as a half would not have looked better. Is he a great half-no! Is he a decent half - maybe. That all depends on the team around him, and i have not seen a decent team in years.

No a

This guy is great.

His interview/podcasts are amazing.
Tony Harrison offered him out too and he didn't take a step back 😂

Any inside info or just hopeful?

 

[tony soprano]

Nothing changes noone want to come here work with what we can get and rely on the juniors coming through no quick fix

 

[Curaeus]

Hasn't Moses got until May or something to exercise an option to extend with the Eels? He's there for this season anyway. He's likely waiting until his option deadline before committing to anyone beyond 2023. I agree he'll probably stay with the Eels but it does look like he's keeping all his options open until then so I guess we are still a chance.

Hey @LeichhardtTiger ,

What are your thoughts of Leichardt oval now?

Once a fortress, now rubble...

What are your fondest memories there?

Assuming you were there during the 2009 Sharks vs Tigers.. Robbies last game.. I feel like that's when we started losing the "fortress"

 

[balmain boy]

No it's not true, it's an unprovable thought experiment. Rather it may be your opinion that you think we could have won, but there's nothing true about it at all.

You and your absolutes. Absurd.
Did i really need to say that there would be a 99% certainty that we would have won have we had been more organised?

I think the message was clear, and you're being pedantic on absolutes in a forum....

 

[balmain boy]

I don't think you can say that especially based on our results last season with him here.

You make really good points though.

We had them on the ropes, but we let them off because we were unable to capitalise on our opportunities. We had Api and Brooks running across field without any runners running off them, either as an option to receive or as a decoy, or a support player. Both Brooks and Api should have been shouting and berating their team mates for not doing this. All it would have taken is a couple of half breaks generated by people running the lines they should have been running, and we would have put 20 more points on the Knights.
Hastings didn't offer much, but he did bark orders and point and tell people what to do. Brooks complete failure to ever do this is why he will never be an NRL standard halfback. He will never be the general, a Hunt, DCE type. He's a sidekick. And we don't need a sidekick.
