What rubbish , sheens won’t let brooks go fullstop

Not even worth acknowledging at this point.

We get rid of Hartigan and we start making moves.

What a surprise.

Can't believe that Hartigan was heralded as the Messiah when he came here from the Chooks, now he's just regarded as chicken shit.

Personally, I don't know what to believe but his reputation on this forum has certainly taken a nose dive since he has left the building.

His fans bailed during Kul's mod "kulling"

?

Well hartigan did go on their podcast.

Surely not

So we traded him to Newcastle for a winger ?

The Newcastle reporter Said newy did sign a halfback but its guess work at this stage who it could be, someone speculated flanno.

Makes sense they will sign someone. Most likely a player who isn’t really in their current clubs plans for ‘22. I can see Flanagan fitting that bill with Burton on board at the Dogs.

would Sheens look at loaning Simpkin for experience or if Liddle is not in plans for 2023 loan him

agree Flanagan would be the target for Newcastle at 7 especially if Dogs want to move him on.
Brooks is not going anywhere at least for 2022

Barry Toohey has been agitating on the Kinghts behalf to get Brooks to Newi for 6 months.
He is the Knights defacto Media man.

Can’t see anyone taking Flanno, especially with the money he is on. He couldn’t even hold down a spot at the wooden spooners. I think his next move is ESL.

A number of people on here knock Brooks, but I had a look at the video showing the 'top tries' Wests put on last year and Brooks featured in many of these tries. His try assist stats from last year were decent. There is room for improvement in his game, particularly with last tackle options, but I personally hope we keep him. Letting him go without getting a player of equal value is just plain dumb.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Jayden Brailey likely to have torn his archilles.
5 to 8 months recovery...

Wonder what their depth is like at hooker?
🤔

I read the Knights have signed a young Warriors' hooker.

With Braydon Trindall, Luke Metcalfe, Connor Tracey and the Storm half joining, I'd have believed the Knights would be chasing a Shark signing. Still, the Knights only have around four halves in the 30.

Surely not. Lose Pearce and pick up a sharks reserve grader? They must want better than that

Agreed. But what is his value really?

A bit.
His value is a good running game. Good handoff, can get over the line and can definately play.

His defense has improved but whole team needs to upgrade.

His value is not his weakness. His weakness is he does not think like a Half, does not organise or marshall the team, does not boss people around.
Move him or Fire him. Brooks nor Benji was ever a halfback.

You could sum up Wests Tigers very easily:
Still looking for a Halfback after Scott Prince left!

The interesting perspective on this is that when Scott Prince was here, a big chunk of the forum thought he should be moved to 5/8 because he wasn't a natural halfback. I remember people wanted a player by the name of Kieran Kerr to play 7. The year we won the comp this talk died down.

The whole "X is not a halfback" argument has happened ever since I can remember.

Brooks is a halfback, the question is, is he good enough?
