Strong mail the Dogs nab him
He doesn't have any of the attributes of a halfback imo, to slow, cant tackle, too tall. A half really needs to be like a hooker in the mould of Souths and Panthers hookers... They play very similar roles.Not even a decent 5/8 yet - now he’s a halfback 😂😂😂
Actually have one 🤣What then would WT do for a halfback?
Brooks, if we lose him it's Hastings, if we lose him...can you play ½back Newy? 😂What then would WT do for a halfback?
The fact we thought it was so bad yet it clearly wasn't suggests that once again our medical team just isn't up to scratch. They really don't seem to know what they're doingI read at the start of the season, so cant remember the exact details. But, i think it was, he broke his leg pretty bad during contract negotiations when at the Tigers. It was expected to be a long recovery with no guarantee he would get back to his best. 3 months later his leg was healed, and he was playing Aus Rugby Schoolboys and got signed by Souths.
Yup. Cross between Groundhog Day and The ShiningYeah, yeah. We've seen this movie before. 😒
Tim Sheens holds the highest position in the footballing dept. at WTs and has made at least two public statements on Brooks. Why would he undermine his own authority by doing what you are suggestiing? Your post is based on rumour, whereas Sheens has made public statements.I’m starting to suspect Sheens has been saying we are keeping Brooks to increase the price Newcastle pay for him and lessen the dead money we retain. There’s whispers Laurie will be “cover” in the halves next year. Staines was a fullback coming through and there’s rumours the swap with Penrith is on. I wonder if Sheens and Gould discussed this at their recent meeting? Gould has been open in saying he thinks Laurie’s best position is 5/8, and he would know a lot about Staines from his time at Penrith.

Yes Sheens has made it clear he wants Brooks but wants him to sign a new 3 year contract which is in effect a 2 year extension .Dont know the exact figure but he won't be the million dollar man . Brooks has 3 options accept the new deal , just play out his existing contract to end 2023 or accept new deal at Newcastle .Where we get someone our way as compensation .Tim Sheens holds the highest position in the footballing dept. at WTs and has made at least two public statements on Brooks.

Forwards win matches, lets get a formidable pack before we look at also rans backs.
You’re right, not many halfbacks would get excited about playing behind a pack which gets rag dolled every week and gets up to ptb like it’s Sunday morning.All everyone on here talks about is the spine when it the forwards that matter. Without them it doesn't matter who we keep the halves

I think kayak iro has re signed with sharks ?A Brooks and Frizzell swap in my opinion is a win/win to both sides plus I really want to see Brooks in another environment to he can show the NRL Public what he has got or not.
I would be fine for the right money to give brothers and former WT players Andrew and David Fifita a one year deal and a second year in the clubs favour as they seem obtainable.
Would rather have Klemmer and Lodge but can't see both leaving their current clubs especially Lodge now he is in the hands of Uncle Nick.
I am sure there are some hidden gems in other teams State Cup Teams that have their NRL pathways block like Dean Hawkins (Souths Half Back who top the stats in 4 categories) and Kayal Iro (Centre/Winger who appears to top all the important stats. Son of Kevin Iro).
