Out for the year I believe.

Thanks

With Api here next year I take it you don't want Brooks? Or are you just thinking about this year. I'm a bit confused because I said the same things as you until I though about someone's post about Api.

Who knows. I don't see Brooks staying in the halves. He may a decent hooker/utility. Use his left foot straight from the ruck like Robbie did. If he does well it could help make him now attractive for other clubs too.

One. One first grade quality hooker in that lot. 1 top 8 level hooker

1 top 8 hooker

That's what I said in that post of mine I was telling you about.
However, if Brooks doesn't move on which is the feeling I'm getting, then having him as utility on his sort of money would make the members burn down the grandstands.
I did say earlier that having an unchanged team for a few weeks may be stabilising. Interesting to see another trial of Hastings lock, Brooks ½, AD ⅝ would save Brooks, other combos involving madden as well

Sorry I didn’t understand the 3 games part of your comment. We lost last 3 games of last season first 4 this season haven’t made finals in 10 going on 11 years no stomach for what exactly. Are you saying we are doing ok and should not change anything

I'm not saying that, but I also don't think Daine Laurie should be the whipping boy for the record above either and that's what it has become round here the past few days.

If we're going to be a development club and want to benefit from that, we're going to need to suck it up for a few more years unfortunately.

As you know over the years there have been any number of whipping boys for our continued poor form. Right or wrong supporters will tend to vent on one particular player.As for being a developmental club let’s just hope we can hold onto them and not lose them as we have in the past otherwise not much point in being a development club

I've supported Brookes for years but he's the only thing left that hasn't been changed. No 9 or the highway for me now - rightly or wrongly we need change.

Personally i would like to see Douehi and Madden as the halves, Hastings to lock, Simpkins or Liddle to DH ( but one of them really needs to step up) Brooks to 14. Peachey to reggies ( he has too many errors and too many penalties to be playing FG)

I see today a Nursing Home at Kogarah had to be evacuated over night due to the floods

I hope the St George training facility will be back to normal soon

I heard our recruitment guys made a special trip out to that nursing home this morning, I would expect a signing announcement soon.

Staines looked very good on the end of that backline v Souths. He has just taken a little longer to settle in but with that pace he is a very dangerous winger. He has the ingredient we lack so much of.

Agreed. He is a lot more aggressive in attack and defence than he was last year and is looking for involvement. Lets see how long it lasts.

How can you consider someone like Stains when we have To'a, we don't even know yet if he's a gun or not because he can't get a gig atm.

Staines is playing on the wing for the defending premiers. To‘a can’t crack first grade for the club running last and can’t win a game.

Do you like Staines ?

I am sure that To'a will find a first grade spot very soon.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I am sure that To'a will find a first grade spot very soon.

Injuries will hit sooner or later. He was a depth player at Newcastle and it felt like a depth signing when we signed him. And nothing has changed my mind considering he came in for Ken the other week and dropped out of the side once Ken came back. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him fall further down the pecking order once AD, Tommy and AJ are fit.

Im constanly getting them on my shirts so i dont like them one bit.

The Panthers and Cleary have an excellent track record of bringing juniors through into the NRL. We need to match the Panthers and hopefully with Sheens, Kimmorley, Betsey and the Pathways initiative (the improvement in Wests juniors in the Campbelltown/Macarthur district is outstanding) this can be achieved. Staines' improvement is an example of their outstanding development system.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I am sure that To'a will find a first grade spot very soon.

To'a will only be an injury backfill squad player for us unless some more favorable players of Madge are moved on. To'a is a winger depth signing - nothing more

Nofa and Ken won't get displaced anytime soon regardless of form we have seen that from Madge. If he makes grade it won't be on the wing unless one of them gets injured.

To'a won't get infront of JTJ and Gildart let alone the injured players returning over the next 6-10 weeks. Again he will only get gametime if injuries hit.

Fullback he isn't getting any time so that's not an option.

He will struggle to get into the first grade run on side as a regular unless Madge has a change or approach (unlikely) or injuries hit.

Didn't say we should consider him. Just offered a comment???
