Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Cheapskate Hook, signing dregs
For the last couple of years and
Getting the previous club to pay.

Tigers dregs are the worst kind

Obviously not much going on if the big update this week is Liddle being shipped out.
Who's the bloke who loved Liddle he's going to be raging at this news.

Russell. Hopefully more players heading for the exits too.

Mmmm…..that certainly goes in the face of all the hoopla about keeping Brooks, I don’t disagree with you, but imho I don’t think LB will be playing anywhere but 7.
Thinking Jacko will start at 13 but I’ve been wrong before. All part of the mystery !

Hopefully Sheens is using Brooks as a smoke screen to secure a first grade halfback - he’s a smart guy, no chance he thinks Brooks fits that category

Brooks is the club's biggest liability

I keep telling you guys Brooks is gone. Sheenius is a schemer - love it! Brooks is off to Newy

Quick as a whip but needs to toughen up and get fitter.

I always think he looks great for like 35-50 mins then just crashes with errors and being out of position

 

[Tiger-ferret]

According to Andrew Fifita Sheenius is the hardest and most strict coach he has played under I am a bit worried about a few of the players if they think Madge was hard Sheenius is next level

I’m worried about some of the forum members then 🤣

 

[batboy]

When Madge lost it in the sheds he yelled enough to break windows.
If sheens yelled they would have to get the defibrillator out 🤣
I like Sheens, he would simply have to look the player in the eyes as if to say...come on fella, you can do better than that. The player would respond IMO.
We shall see I guess.

You didn’t take any notice of Beau Ryan or Fitzys career?

 

[Moh]

I'm sad to see him go and wish him all the best. He deserves a change of fortune. I always thought he'd be our long term hooker. The Dragons have done well and we also have done well not to have to contribute to his contract.

Second this.

Just a real good clubman, disappointed his career didn't go where it could've with us - really do wish he goes injury free and gets consistent game time at the Dragons to give him every opportunity to reach his potential.

That’s him feel sorry for his poor cat this evening.

Enlightened us.

Not by a long shot. Plenty of bigger problems and a number are outside the playing group

Keep telling yourself mate!!

You are a gibberer believing media driven hype.

Please pin this bullshit to your profile for posterity!

But do we know if Pom is not a nom du plume for Lee or Pascoe to feed us inside information ?

Think he's the dude with the nofo tattoo

 

[Wombat]

Brooks on 950k-1mill not a good buy... Brooks on 650k good buy!

It all comes down to value.

Most of us wouldn't have minded Mbye on 400k.

Good to see you've recycled you avatar - it's my favourite of yours.

Brooks on 500k more like it. He's not bad. He just can't finish off sets on the tryline.

 

[Long Term Fan]

i wish Liddle all success at St George.

The lack of signings since Sheens was announced the Coach is a worry.

Fingers crossed there are signings in the background ready to be confirmed shortly.

With Liddle gone and the two known additions for 2023 how many top 30 spots need to be filled?

I hope Shaun Blore is the saviour some WT Forum members think he is in 2023 and not another Matt Groat or Ben Murdoch-Masila.

Good halves are worth more than that and Brooks is a good half.

 

[Stevec]

Brooks on $1.1 mill final year backended contract either we pay all of it and he plays for us or we pay about 60% and he plays for knights
Pretty sure Tim wants to keep him .So think they will offer newcontract
2023 - 2025 $2.3 mill
Same as his $1.1 MILL 2023
600k 2024
600 k 2025
So they can say new contract 3 years $2.3 mill or 767k per year
Its sounds better
But what do they think 9 years not enough to perform as great half but
Its the 10th year will be the breakthrough year !
