Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

was I wrong about Brooks not going to Newcastle !
I remember having a discussion with you who was adamant but but but Hastings lives in the shire he will not be going to Newcastle
so don't you talk about wrong mail please

Lol ... the only reason Brooks didn't go there is because they wanted us to chip in too much money.
Joey Johns must be laughing he didn't go there... would have egg all over his face.
Different after this year now he'll be off contract.
Why would you rehire a 10 year loser when it costs you nothing to let him walk?

Or keep him and score a salary cap concession.

Joey Johns don't really care.

Heck put Joey Johns with Brooks for 2 years he may come good, I doubt it as Mitchell Pearce did not work out there and IMHO Brooks peak is something similar to Mitchell Pearce (and he hasn't hit that with us since 2014). Yet we all know Brooks hasn't come good here.

Please don't let us re-hire Brooks. Guy needs to walk out.

Seriously?
You would keep him just for that?
We still have Nofo to cover that anyway 🤣🤣🤣

Imo 1.3 million a year for 4 years for a 30 year old Wighton is an overpayment.

Not worth it.

And has D unlike our previous 5/8.

Will still leave us without a halfback and render us rudderless

 

[bathursttiger1]

Don't forget the same majority have watched Brooks in 193 games.

Inflicted on us by our lame club.

Yes there are more important positions to fill.

Johns wasn't there when Pearce was. Johns was the halves coach at Parramatta while Pearce played at Newcastle.

4 years is a bit too long I could live with 1.1 for 3 years

Totally agree.

Ageing player potentially towards the end of his prime ..

Rather see the club promote some juniors.

Joey coached Pearce at the Roosters though....
Hastings also.

Genuine question, which Juniors will be ready in the next couple years to play the positions he plays?

Talking to a old friend today who came through the Raiders system.

He reckons he heard;

Wighton > Parra
Brooks > Raiders

* I dont believe everything i hear.

That makes sense Wighton to fullback

I'd love Brooks to Raiders. I despise Canberra
