Being a young Lebanese hooker with huge potential i’m sure the Dogs will go after him hard, and with us signing LIddle and Simpkin there’s no space for him in NRL currently. But he’s still a year or two from first grade having only played Ball as a 17 year old. Some time in Flegg and NSW Cup and he might replace Lidz.

Haven't we got more Lebanese players on the books the past number of seasons than the Bulldogs? 2-3 in first grade and 2-3 in reserves, and Moses before that.

Six clubs awaiting Finucane decision. Wests tigers not amongst them.

I'm much more disappointed about this than TPJ.

Stefano called out specifically watching him train in origin camp opened his eyes on how you should prepare. The only reason I can think of that we're not one of the six is because we've already been told not to bother.

Correct about the latter point. He's not interested in coming to us.

What has he told you?

That he'd rather go to Syria than come here.

What I thought, you are guessing.

No, no, that's what he said to me.

If anyone thinks we’re a chance of signing Finucane, then my advice to you is , go back to bed and keep dreaming. 😂

**MAJOR OVERHAUL FOR THE SHARKS**

THE Cronulla Sharks are on the verge of a major roster overhaul with the 2016 premiers closing in on the signature of Dale Finucane and also discussing making a play for Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks.

The Sharks, St George Illawarra, Newcastle and North Queensland are the last club’s standing in the race to sign two-time premiership-winner Finucane from the Melbourne Storm.

The champion forward is tipped to make a decision today on Friday.

The Brooks play is a left field one from the Sharks and is only early doors at this stage but makes sense if new Cronulla coach Craig Fitzgibbon decides to push ahead with it.

It’s also a smart play because the Wests Tigers would have to cover part of Brooks’ freight.

Matt Moylan is also on the verge of agreeing to a one-year extension with the club and the Sharks are also intent on making a play to try and retain Will Chambers.

The Sharks and the Tigers are currently both bunkered down in the same Brisbane hotel.

**MAN BEHIND TIGERS-RAIDERS SWAP IDEA**

THE Wests Tigers official who spit-balled the Luke Brooks and Moses Mbye swap deal with Raiders guns Jack Wighton and Josh Hodgson was CEO Justin Pascoe.

In fairness to Pascoe the Canberra Raiders had signalled an interest in trying to get Brooks to the national capital for next year as the Green Machine continue their search for a halfback.

Anyone who knows football is aware of how in the like-for-like trade department there’s only one team who’s emerging the winner out of such an outlandish swap.

Even though Jack Wighton has been down on form this year he’s still the reigning Dally M Medallist and an out-and-out gun player.

Wighton and Raiders coach Ricky Stuart are also extremely thick and there’s no way the Green Machine want to see the five-eighth link with another club.

Pascoe has lit up social media this week in the wake of Fox League’s ‘Wild Wests: Tales from Tiger Town’ documentary which has everyone in rugby league talking.

**TIGERS’ SHEENS REUNION DELAYED BY COVID**

THE Wests Tigers new head of football performance Tim Sheens was due to be in quarantine in Sydney by now but unfortunately had his travel plans cancelled at the last minute due to the current COVID chaos.

Sheens has begun his new role from the UK and has been busy holding Zoom meetings with a number of key personnel at Concord.

The Tigers are currently working towards getting Sheens on the first plane possible to return home to Australia.

would be terrible idea qighton and Douhie

 

[clontarfkid]

Think probably Hastings plus Douhui / Wighton in the 6and centres...?
Personallly I think Wighton shld move to no 13 these days...and Hodgson near the end of his career.
Pascoe shld focus soley on balancing the books rather than running the football dept...plus possibly one of those TV makeover shows wldnt go astray

 

[pedrolaurie]

I reckon Pascoe should keep his nose outta recruitment and do his job.

 

[Furious1]

**If it's true** and wasn't requested by Madge or Hartigan then Pascoe should hand in his resignation.

 

[pedrolaurie]

Sorry to change topic. But does anyone know if there is any weight to the Moses Mbye news?

 

[Snake]

**If it's true** and wasn't requested by Madge or Hartigan then Pascoe should hand in his resignation.

Think a new CEO with a different attitude and drive should be invested in .. things being leaked not a good look seems some issues at the top !

 

[Speed2burn]

The real joke is believing Pooper

He’s gotta get one right eventually

I still think its all bullsh#t...
Why would we want another hooker who is 32 in 2 months when we have 2 on the books for a few years who are young and ready to go.
Then he adds we wont Wighton when we have AD killing it at 6 and Hastings coming.
Hopper is just trying to cover his ass and I think it might of been a "tongue in cheek" comment he is blown up to make a story.
Hooper must not have a good name in the media with all the rubbish he reports and it funny how we are again in the media considering there is a massive story of a SOO player bringing in a girl twice to camp and this is 2nd fiddle to us..

 

[cochise]

The only way I see this remotely being true, is if the Raiders rang asking for Brooks and the dismissive reply was yeah if you take Mbye as well and give us Wighton and Hodgson as way telling them that Brooks isn't available. The Raiders then tell Hooper as a way of getting back at the Tigers and then Hooper blows it all out of proportion.
