Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Brooks has been playing well man...
We're not quite getting there - But he's been playing well.

On paper - We are still one of the worst teams in the comp

Yes, Even when your boy comes back!!

No doubt...

Been poor for years.

It's like the club has players in important positions that continually prove they can't do the job and yet they don't do anything about it.

I wonder what they could do to address this 🤔

Everyone seems to forget - The club hasn't had a halfback, Since 2007....
Bar Mat Head (For 8 Games) - He tried to run the show, Like halfbacks do - And fell out of favour with the boys club.

They tried to build one (Hang onto one) in Brooks, Weather it worked - Or they persisted with him for too long could be argued.
He's a quality player, That has been almost killed to death by this club (And it's fans) He's been asked to do a job - And gone out every week and done his best to do it...
Despite the absolute rubbish squads he's been surrounded by.

He's been hung out here for a long time - And I'm wondering who we were ever going to replace him with that would be better....
No one.

He's done the hard yards, We're on the up and he's earned a shot to at least be here for it.

How'd we let payten go.

The rival NRL coach who loves to see the Tigers winning

North Queensland coach Todd Payten has a long association with Wests Tigers and club legend Tim Sheens, which is why he loves to see Sunday’s opponents doing well.

Cos the other 16 Played so well man?
Seems there's a lot of Brookscam round these parts....

No one notices anything else everyone else doesn't do!!

What most forget is that since Jacko has played the 7 Brooks has been able to play his natural game ie. running and kicking as well as defending great again....

AD may be viewed as the KING....
Jacko certainly provides the STING....🙂👍

Roosters need a hooker so a swap with liddle for this year aswell .is it to much to ask 🤣🤣🤣

I understand use are all passionate about the club and it’s players I just don’t get how you can talk about it for so long with out getting bored I carnt even read it all just sift through for rumours haha

We're in bad shape when most discussions are about which of our players suck the least.

Last week with the forum down I actually found it a bit more relaxing haha.

Time will be the only judge of who makes it out of our current spine. Any correlation between that outcome and your views is a coincidence.

I'm pretty sure people in the club read the forum, including players. My message to them is to ignore all of us as much as possible and focus on performing better every week.

He's been replaced mate.
Jackson is the half back now.

It's done, let it go...

He's keeping Adams 6 jersey warm whilst he's out.

Just a matter of time.

I’m more worried about how you’re going to go when Hastings and Doueihi doesn’t go as good as Hastings and Brooks…

#suicidewatch

Hastings and Brooks have played 6 games together and won 2.
The bar ain’t that high.

 

[stryker 69]

How many try assists he got this year bra?

He’ll catch him by years end

 

[hobbo1]

Case closed … go to bed losers

 

[tigerballs]

Daresay his next club will say the same....

Guy is the epitome of an average player but he's been gifted a lengthy career- filled with mediocrity.

Framed debut jersey in the pool room with no other accolades.

He should consider spending the remaining years in England or France, experiencing the world... because any ambitions here in Australia are limited to the point of impossible.

Geez that's harsh.... but a bit funny!

So if we've lost 17yo prop Jordan Miller to the Dolphins for $150k/year for 3 years, does anyone with links in with our underage players or player managers know what we pay our Jersey Flegg / Development / Pathway players?

If the way forward for our Club is via junior development, we need to have an attractive package for junior players to stay (financial + opportunity + facilities & services + coaching + culture). Yes we will lose some players & I'm sure Sheens/Betsey/Kimmorley are working hard on this but it would be good not to lose any of our best juniors. Call me selfish!

It’s a big if at this stage. First time poster who got his name wrong. If it’s true it’s disappointing but it’s big money for a guy who’s highest football level is Harold Matts.

 

[gallagher]

Good for the young man. Apparently this is how the NRL wants the game. The weaker clubs now have the juniors pilfered at a very young age by expansion teams.

We're a weak club? I thought we were one of the few clubs that make a profit ?

 

[tigerballs]

Two promising juniors in Lochie Galvin and Ontini Large have apparently returned to us after being lured by the Eels and Roosters respectively. I think Lochie in Harold Matthews for Wests this year.

Do you know the young fullback playing for Wanderers u18'S. Corey someone?

 

[Camel2281]

Can we do that and retain all the players coming off contract?

When you take into account that even if we retain Brooks after Next season then market value for a proper second fiddle 5/8 we'd save $500k-600k per year in salary

 

[Lee's fedora]

Case closed … go to bed losers

That's enough evidence for me

 

[batboy]

Robert Lui reckons you should leave your pecker alone

Robert Lui was a 5/8…

Another 5/8 sheens tried to turn into a half…
Also played 2nd fiddle to both Farah and Marshall.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Anyone recall how much our supposed offer was for TPJ ? Give that to Angus get him over he's better than TPJ and Nikora.

I think we should start a Hartigan thank you topic.
If it's true that he caused WT to miss out on TPJ, JAC, Latrine, Cory Allen, Brett Naden and some other that turned to Shite.
