Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If he’s as bad as some of you make out, he’d have been run out of first grade years ago.

That’s why he is the koala

Conspiracy theories aside, the reality is players don’t last if they aren’t up to scratch. Look at Esan Marstsrs. No one wants him. If Brooks were to leave, there would be takers. No one plays nearly 200 games out of charity.

I think you are confusing what is being said.
The guy can play footy to a reasonably high standard on occasion.
As a halfback, he is a koala. 1 higher than average year and 7 poor years…soon to be 8?

He’d be a 7 somewhere else if it wasn’t here.

The fact that Chad Townsend got handed a big contract means that Brooks would get a gig somewhere in the NRL... doesn't mean he'd do a good job

For the love of god can someone start the Brooks thread back up?

I would take Chad Townsend easily over Brooks. The guy has won a comp and played finals numerous times.

Fact of the matter is Hastings will be our half back eventually, and Brooks will be excess baggage.

Have you ever watched a movie and thought how did they get funding for this crap? If Brooks was a movie he would be Sharknado 3.

Chad Townsend? Really? That guy belongs in a live play of Alice in wonderland as tweedle dee with a propeller hat. He's nowhere near brooks calibre.

What is Brooks calibre? Mediocre for the good part of 10 years i dont want chad by any means but Brooks calibre is NSW cup level

Far out take the tiresome Brooks chat to the Brooks thread

By the way, no one is changing their mind about him. I've seen people defend him for years and people want him gone for years on here, never seen anyone change from one side to the other 😂

Mods - your job is to Moderate. I think it is time that you stopped this Luke Brooks rubbish from being given airtime. Either open up an LB thread in this forum or it, The Forum, will deteriorate.

It already has

Well if you think Brooks is NSW Cup level, then Chad should be playing in the local park.

He signed with a local team for a reason.

Anyone else getting nervous about Stefano noting Bromwich is off to the Dolphins?

Most on here by the sound of it.

Whatever will be will be.

No, cos Bromwich is leaving at the end of this season. Stefano is contracted for next season.

Wests Tigers outside back Asu Kepaoa has suffered a major setback in his return from an ACL injury, tearing his pectoral muscle at training this week.

The 21-year-old, who had been training in the centres over the preseason and was firming to start round one after impressing in his transition from the wing, is now expected to miss up to the first 12 rounds of the year.

That's awful news.

Every player who has left the WT has played finals footy. Maybe the problem is the WT

Almost every player,

You are right. The Club / Environment greatly impacts a player and their performance.

Ask yourself - Would anyone in our squad improve if they were playing at Melb or the Rosters???


It’s simple, IMO, need to play to the strengths around 3-4 new players; add Stef, Doueihi and at least one other spine member (could be Laurie and Hastings)... otherwise Brooks will drown under pressure for another year and a bunch of our best options or current recruits will begin looking elsewhere, new coach, cycle starts again.

Need to constantly be looking forward this year but obviously remain grounded as a supporter group and temper any expectations.

Aiming up in defence with a few blokes willing to call out and set the D structure/line speed will be huge..

all comes down to our application and attitude in defence. if we show the same level of intent we did last year we are in for another year of pulling our hair out. let's hope Cayless manages to fix things and our edges begin to work as a unit as opposed to a group of individuals.

Cayless’ man management and individual rapport with his big boppers is a big strength, according to reports

Could be huge.

Hope so, as our WT require the new assistant coaching signings performance to impact as positively as our player recruitments will have to for the side to prosper.

Could also be Junior Tupou .. as well as To'a
