Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think if Sheens wants him, he’s only talking about 2023.

He’s made it clear he wants to go after Moses for 2024 and I doubt it’s to reunite him and Brooks.

POM has mentioned it more than once that Sheens would like Brooks to stick around longer than 23.

Re Moses - I don’t think he has made it clear, Moses would be a Benji squad signing & Benji has actually come out publicly and said he hasn’t even spoken to Mitch (could be bluffing - or could have Farah doing the talk, but Benji has said it multiple times).

What is interesting the most out of all the halves talk is anything on AD is dead quiet which is normally not a positive sign if we want to retain him.

We think things are bad now, they actually could get alot worse soon if we aren’t careful.

That is the million dollar question I guess. Sorry what was it 1.2 million

Brooks Salary Bingo
The reporters don't know the salary but make it up
2023 1 million no wait 1.1 million no got it now 1.2 million no seriously 900k
The same people reporting "we know where you will be in 2023..."

 

[Halbrowne61]

He also got the almighty dollar…..but yeah time for both parties to start fresh….I actually hope he goes welll

Well if he does go well, there will be a lot of soul searching by us .

probably means they are thinking centre not in the halves ?

did papali get accused of tanking or mahoney or Api ?
If Sheens lands a number 7 from u.k then maybe he goes in 2023
Sheens is not in the habit of strengthening other nrl sides, Newcastle have gamble possibly keighran in 2023 to play 7 that is it
2024 good luck to Brooks if he chases the cash

Sheens helped build the sharks from the ground up by throwing our players at them so he could get his duds Blair and Anasta here,or have you forgotten where the term Tigersharks originated from

Blair was meant to be good though and was after his stint with us. Anasta is was and will always be just terrible

If you could somehow clone nofo and seyfart you'd have a really top notch player, great skills with great attitude

We could call it “Dolly Mack2”

O

Stains is 1.84 cm tall and 87 kg, he is not small. He will do well at fullback or anywhere in the backline. Ramsey if off contract in 2024, is an exciting talent at fullback and also a speedster. Having a top class FB is a must, as is a class replacement. They both offer what the Tigers have lacked for years, a skillfull and fast backline. Throw in another tough forward and a decent half and we are on the way up!

I tend to think making a play for Ramsey is a decent idea. He isn’t an Illawarra local and has Slone snapping at his heals. Saints would be stupid not to try and fit Slone, Amone and Sullivan in their 17 by 2024.

He won't play any better than he has with us unless we goes to a top team, Storm, Roosters and even then, I can see him being a Croft.

 

[Needaname]

who said he is buying places in Newcastle. His mum is a Principal of a school in Sydney, he is pretty close to his family and just had a baby.
Part of me thinks it might be to rattle Sheens cage and get wests tigers to make an offer to keep him early who knows

If the plan is to reunite Moses and Brooks under Sheens after 7 years apart.
Does anyone see the partnership more effective this time round?

Ramsay is from Molong, another good product from the Central West.
It’s a wonder Panthers didn’t pick him up.
That’s why I agree with playing a game at Tamworth each year to try and tap into some of their talent.

don't know if it will be more effective or not, jus think that might be the way Sheens is thinking.
Since they last played together Mises has played in semi finals a state of origin game
Brooks has won Dally M halfback of the year.
I would say both are better players than when they were together last time.
Big difference no tedesco this time

Nav Willett from Taree 17 year old fullback / five eigthb has signed with wests tigers SG Ball from 2024
One we have pinched from the Knights

Yeah but both have achieve the above without Tedesco.

true they have, it will be interesting if they do get back together. They are still good friends and same manager so never know

But we do have Staines .🤣

Side note Bateman is playing more like Patrick than Jason in his 1st England game this WC.

Wonder if he’s got a new business card for his meetings ?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Brooks salary quoted has gone from $700k to $1.2m
That says to me no one really knows
Numbers slide to suit the angle on the story being pushed
According I’ll leave it to Sheensy, who knows the true number, to make any decision on Brooks

Great post. Sheens' view on Brooks is well-known so you know that won't suit the agenda of those on this forum pushing for him to go - excellent.
