There's only one that could be considered better - And he's stuck at the Knights.

Dunno man, if it's through the season might be an issue...
But he was working with Cronk way back when - That's in Melbourne mid 2000's.... You'd reckon he was a busy back then.
I know that a few of them come to him at home as well?

Heard Brandy (Has a similar job) His comments were like "Why would you ever leave, You work 3.5 days a week for 6 months a year"

Could only be a positive....
Get them all the help we can.

Thank You Batboy about Kade Hill heard he will be in Reggie's next year, also heard the half from Ball-Balmain and the Half from Maggies will be doing a lot of training with first grade squad over the summer, also here Matty Johns has been ask to help out as well do not know if that is true but heard that from a current player this morning.

That would be good for us, i dunno how Benji is going to go as a coach but his networking and bringing others in could be a strength we can utilise.

IMO Brooks will be here next year if he wants it . I think he is being offered a 3 year deal 2023 -2025 for $2.3:mill .However seeing his old contract has $1.1 mill backended for 2023 only . I think Sheens wants him to forfeit that in lieu of the new contract .I effect he is getting an additional $1.2 mill for 2 extra years
Brooks may not accept this and if not Sheens will either have to improve the 3 year deal or offload him and we will still pay about half his contract for next year only . Sheens likes Brooks and wants him to accept the 3 year deal

Where on earth do you get this $1.1 Million figure for 2023 from, and if not from a reputable source, why do you keep quoting it as gospel on so many occasions on these pages?

Liddle released. Good roster management.

Think it was buzz's best guess some time ago 900k 2022 1100k 2023 ,I presume 2020 2021 were lower 700k but not sure

At the rate Sheens is losing players and not replacing them we will have about 5 players at the club when training starts and that is in all grades

Hastings is a good footballer, but too slow at haif. AD is too slow at half ! Brooks is quick but lacks confidence, and with a creative partner may still come good, __ the jurys out. I have never seen a good side with two slow halves, and doubt i ever will.

Why not include Clifford in a deal to swap brooks... he is younger kicks goals and I like his kicking game...

we will not be swapping Brooks to newcastle not for 2023

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

He's a backrower who still thinks he's a half because he played there as a kid....
Like Matto, Anasta, Brown, Sutton, Sironen, Schuster... The list is endless.

If he's not careful, He'll spend half his career trying to hold onto a 6 jersey somewhere - And the other half (When it's too late) trying to learn his proper position.
Don't get me wrong, He can do a job there - But he won't reach any great heights there....

Could be a real rep player in the back row or lock - If he'd only learn to tackle.

spot on if Douhie can learn to ta kle and play 13 he would be right up there with Murray and yeoh

Didn’t u get the menu , we are only playing in the seven aside competition next year , alls good 😊

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

still think we will make a play for Dylan brown or Mitchell Moses one of then to partner brooks

 

[Pbulk]

There's no need to make a swap with Newcastle when they give their player a release. We just pay full freight over a longer contract, probably 3 years.

I would love to see someone list our 2023 roster as it stands just now
It can't be anywhere near 30 .I hope it doesn't get padded with those NSWcup players that were tried out in 1ST grade this year without success . The lightweight forwards especially .Remember we conceded 31 tries in our last 4 games .Our pack was steamrolled . I know we subtract Madden Liddle,Luciano ,Garner, Kelma and Tamou and Mikhalae and add back Api and maybe Papalii but not sure who's in our 2023 top 30 roster
