get klemmer then use Brooks to get frizell from NewcastleHastings at halfback could work if you had a decent fast 5/8th. Brooks and Douhie arnt it for mine. Not sure what to do with Douhie.talented but got some issues to work out still.
Someone at the club needs to make the tough call now. I don't care if any of the spine leave to be honest but make deals in our favour
Agree unless we sign a 1st grade player replacing Musgrove this is a step backwards ?Lets hope we aren't covering much of Musgrove's contract, until I see his replacement I won't be saying smart business just yet.
Good defences shut Hastings down quickly when he played 7. Marshall and Sheens from what I read want pace in the halves.I don't know why Hastings gets written off as the halfback when the other two (3 if you include Laurie) haven't done much at all.
I think Hastings can work with either of those players. If we had a pack that smashed teams every so often I think Hastings at 7 can work.

I wonder what Woods contract status is? I hope he isn’t coming back with Musgrove heading to Dragons?

I reckon we'll get Bateman. whether he starts or comes off the bench is another matter but I think he'll be in the 17. I think Talau is probably best starting the year off in Cup, especially if he's moving to the back row.8 Klemmer
9 Api
10 Twal
11 Papallii
12 Blore
13 Hastings
14 Joffa
15 Pole
16 Stefano
17 Talau x Koautoga x Seyfarth?
Pending any signings?
Strong 🔥I reckon we'll get Bateman. whether he starts or comes off the bench is another matter but I think he'll be in the 17. I think Talau is probably best starting the year off in Cup, especially if he's moving to the back row.
Sheens believes he is a 13. I don't think you will see him in the 7 again at this club unless there is a crisis.I don't agree on Hastings being shut down quickly. He made some mistakes and wasn't perfect but he was better in my opinion than Brooks and Doueihi and it's not close.
I agree that Marshall and Sheens appear to want Hastings as a 13 and have Brooks and Doueihi basically as running 6's on each side of the ruck.
They may have got it wrong though. They may also change their mind because players get injured and/or players perform better than expected.
We don't know how this will all fall out which is really poor because I think our spine has been an issue for a number of seasons. We just can't get it right.
We also can't get the forwards right. I'm less worried about the outside backs. If the forwards and spine play well we will improve a lot.
The critism is based on that period where he'd touch the ball a hundred times and we hardly scored any points.
Good luck getting less touches from Jackson at half-back.
lolImagine klemmer and woods back together
What’s the win % comparison?Lol - pretty small sample - we only won 4 games. But i can play your game - we lost 8 games with Hastings at 7 and only 7 games with Brooks at seven. Add to that we won 2 games with Brooks at 6 and only 1 game with Douehi at 6. Really all that proves is that all 3 of our halves are pretty shit.

So they want Brooks early and they want us to a) agree to release Brooks early and b) pay $300k of his salary next year…..😂😂😂😂 …two words. F……O…..The mail seems to be that Brooks and Klemmer will swap clubs on agreed salary of $800K per year. Tigers will then front a further $300K for Brooks to play at the Knights.
So if we are paying Brooks $300K to play somewhere else, how does that sit with everyone?
Klemmer for sure. Bateman may be cooked but his corpse is still better than Seyfart in the second row.We’ve released a lot of the dead wood which is great but we need some arrivals.
Klemmer and Bateman would be nice. Not sold on Bateman but we don’t really have any established second rowers apart from Ice.
