Well here we go. Brooks isn’t the answer for us but who else do we have? A guess it’s a case of moving backwards to move forwards.

Could give the keys to Madden.

But a strong club would keep Brooks as back up.

But a strong club would keep Brooks as back up.

A strong club would cut their losses and recruit better. Not keep a $900k player as a backup.

In all honesty if we can swap him for Klemmer or Frizell from Newy who are on similar paypackets I am happy

IMO both Klemmer and Frizell both have poor kicking games. It would be a poor swap.

Hastings is already in the building as Brooks replacement and getting a strong forward as compensation for Brooks strengthens a weakness
 
Leaves us short for next year, but if they take his entire contract we’d be crazy not to let him go and start fresh.

As long as it doesn’t mean Tyrone May is his replacement.

That’s a bit of a contradiction isn’t it. If he’s so bad, why would we able to trade him for an Origin forward?

In all seriousness I would take frizell but Klemmer past it.

I’m very concerned with our depth in the halves if we let brooks walk.

If they take his whole contract, they are dumber than us. Common sense would tell you to look at our squad, see how depleted our halves stocks are, and bleed us for every dollar. And why would they pay 700-800k for a guy that isn’t even a first grader?

Klemmer is only 27 and would be a good get IMO.

So if Hastings or Madden go down who's next?

It’s already a case of who’s next cos Madden isn’t the solution.

Books kicking game only slightly better than Klemmer and Frizell

JUST. STOP... Please stop - I'm begging you....
A halfback who isn't absolutely tearing reserve grade apart, Isn't going to be our long term half. Ever!!

If we were going to run that route, We'd never have let Josh Drinkwater go a few years back.... He was actually killing it at the time and probably should have been in First Grade

It appears they are fairly desperate to sign him for whatever reason, we should be using that. A deal similar to the Mbye one offers no benefit to us. We should be saying, "if you want him, you have to take his entire contract".
 
Tbh, Zach Docker-Clay would be a better option than Madden atm. Brooks/Hastings is far from perfect, but it’s the best shot we have.

So if Brooks goes to the Knights, where do we go from there?, Madden I don't think is up to it yet. Doueihi is out to round 10 or 12, maybe Peachey but he was going to be our lock, also we are desperate for a centre. Plenty of headaches there, got me beat.

Unless we’re planning to pull a Cleary or Reynolds out of our backsides it does nothing for us to deplete our halves stocks even more. The upside is we’ll have even more space in the cap that we can’t fill.

With anyone - From anywhere....
There are literally zero halves coming through!!

If they're going to get rid of Brooks - Then they shouldn't stop there... The cleanout we've been threatening to have for a decade. Just get rid of all of them, If they're not earning their spot - Move them. Starting with (And not stopping at) that No 2
