I cannot believe that Papali came only for the money. Ridiculous statement from a journalist.
For your information;How am I wrong?
183cm Isn't Tall(ish)? Congratulations on being the only person on the planet that doesn't
consider 6ft Tall.
I didn't need to look at his stats - I've stood beside him, He's certainly not small - or a giant.
but he's above average height....
He's also deceptively strong - For a tall(ish) skinny guy....
If you'd watched him play. You'd probably know that as well?
I was told by people at the club that Chammas had a beef with Madge. There was a lot of anti-Madge stuff from Chammas the past two years. I was also told that the club does not share information with Chammas.Ok, what facts are you basing this on? Sometimes it's hard to accept your club and coach aren't the best.
Of course he's coming for the money. There are other aspects but I'm sure most of it is money and that's okay. As long as they put in for the club when they get here.I cannot believe that Papali came only for the money. Ridiculous statement from a journalist.
Impish below the beltI'm sure he knew Brooks wasn't 5ft 3 inch. It fits the picture of this disgusting description of Brooks as an imp. It probably says more about those who use the term.
Of course he is coming for the money there is no problem with that and by all reports and the form he is in we are under paying him the Tigers have to be smart and over pay two or three players get the team winning a few games have a few juniors come in and and get a few sold first grade players then we can play market valueOf course he's coming for the money. There are other aspects but I'm sure most of it is money and that's okay. As long as they put in for the club when they get here.
Any player that leaves their current club to go to a bottom 4 club, is either:
- out of options (Hastings, Joffa for example)
- wants to play for a certain coach (Api, Maumalo have a previous relationship with Madge)
- Go to the highest bidder (TPJ, David Fifita, Papali'i etc.)
For your information;
180 Centimeters =
5 Feet, 10.87 Inches
(rounded to 4 digits).
So Brooks is only 1.13 inches than 6 feet tall but is 3 kg heavier and just as strong as Campbell.
I cannot believe that Papali came only for the money. Ridiculous statement from a journalist.
Sometimes a bit of length adds to the girth fellas, just sayingDid you actually read what I wrote? - Or you just looking for a barney.
I didn't even mention (Or think about) Brooks....
I offered my opinion on Campbell.
You still haven't informed me where what I wrote was wrong?
If that would be the case how are teams at the bottom of the competition ladder ever (or how long) going to take to reach top four standard?Of course he's coming for the money. There are other aspects but I'm sure most of it is money and that's okay. As long as they put in for the club when they get here.

Does your hand sliding off count as a tackle bust?Sometimes a bit of length adds to the girth fellas, just saying
A bit impudent of those who say that.Impish below the belt
height and weight don't matter, he isn't vocal enough to entertain a fullback role. couldn't do it in 7 and would be worse in 1. hard to set a D line if your fullback isn't counting the numbers and yelling outYou are wrong. According to their club website details;
Campbell is 183 cm and 80 kg.
Brooks is 180 cm and 88 kg.
NRL jurnos are employed to sell papers and increase rating. The days of quality sports journalism is long gone. It’s all about headlines, I guess it’s just like reality TV, it’s all done to a proven formula.I was told by people at the club that Chammas had a beef with Madge. There was a lot of anti-Madge stuff from Chammas the past two years. I was also told that the club does not share information with Chammas.
Aside from that, there is a clear difference between having an opinion about Madge (or anything) versus making a claim of facts about Madge (or anything). I very rapidly lose respect for journalists who try to conflate their opinion or guesswork with an article written as if it's based in fact. This is the realm of Pooper, Buzz, Chammas, Weedler - the "sensationalist" journos who attempt to portray that they have inside information, without revealing any facts or sources.
It then becomes a big deal if you find out that those journalist may have an agenda. For example is Buzz Rothfield mates with Shane Flanagan and pushing a certain narrative to assist his mate getting a job? And then it does become very relevant if that journo is also proven to have lied or made stuff up, or be totally incorrect in a statement they make - they lose all credibility.
Whether or not a journo has valid opinions is an entirely separate discussion.
All this Brooks bashing is rediculous. 1,6,7,9 are critical and opposition sides target these players. Has Brooks reached the heights of the best ?--NO! but he has always been one of our best. With an ordinary pack, lousy fullbacks, ordinary hookers 5/8s and locks, the biggest threat to opposition sides was Brooks, so the attention from the opposition was always on him. Playing with such a lousy side would not give him much confidence. With Hastings coming, its taken a lot of this pressure away, i think he will get better as the side improves and the unfounded attacks diminish.Since there were players doing all the things a halfback is meant to do, yes. (Talking, leading, directing, controlling.) All the things Brooks has never been able to accomplish, hence he lost his precious coveted halfback position
Since when has he or any other gossip columnist been a mouthpieces for players who appear to be happy with their lot.I cannot believe that Papali came only for the money. Ridiculous statement from a journalist.
