interesting that Ken is on the chopping block, but also excites me given the amount of gun young wingers we have. could mean that Tupou, Hill or Scolari are all in consideration for Round 1.

Scolari in consideration for round one? Not sure what you're smoking. The kid has played one nsw cup game in 2 years, and some flegg. coming off a serious injury he'll be some way off competing for first grade straight away. But a solid start in nsw cup could see his chances increase. Hill would be in a similar boat, almost no chance for first grade until mid-season at the absolute earliest, if he kills it.

Not sure Sheens has a good read on anything. Thought he had Ciraldo, has backed Brooks - let Madden go and now "it seems" Brooks is as good as gone. The whole aura some have around him is wearing thin with me. He needs to produce something soon or he is going to be very testy when facing the media every week as a coach next season.

I can just see it now, old Wayne and Tim being hammered In the media for losing their lustre and being labeled as too old and out of touch.

This could easily happen but they won't give a stuff. Earning big dollars doing something they love. They are old and tough enough to handle it.

You'd think about Clifford as a back up on a short term deal assuming Brooks moves on, he's nothing special but nor is Brooks imo.

You style a game plan around his strengths and you get a really solid half, strong, long kicking game has a running game. Started on fire at Newcastle then capitulated. Might be something with his head space that needs sorting out. Not sure we are the best club for him somehow.

Agree totally. These 2 kids still have a lot to prove after Covid and injury. Unless they do something amazing over the off-season and/or in the trials, they have to earn their spot. They need time in KOE to not only learn but see if they’ve got it.

Simpkin is going nowhere

Simpkin, Simpkins. What makes you so sure?
As with Brooks everyone is certain that he is determined to stay (for LESS money) because (he LOVES the club).
Well what if I put it too you that Simpkin doesn’t really love the WT, he loved the opportunity. And now that opportunity is fading, behind a recently recruited star hooker for the next 3 seasons. And his heals are being nipped at by 3 other up and coming hookers.

Why wouldn’t he look to go to a club that isn’t soo deep in the hooker ranks.

Given our track record regarding players that were recruited during Madge’s tenure, why wouldn’t we release him?

I'm fine with him staying or going but I think we need some pretty big changes in the halves. I also think that leave Hastings at 7 which gives us a bigger pack.

Next up Hastings, Doueihi and Laurie. The question is do any of them have a part to play longer term.

Gee ! What an exciting trio. They will strike fear in opposing sides, with their speed, attacking guile, and devastating defence. lol.
