Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hope Sheens knows what he’s doing and Brooks suddenly learns how to play halfback.

Not confident though.

If Brooks can't fire behind that, what excuse do you think the Brooks cult will come up with?

And if by some miracle he does fire i guess you will just disappear and sign up under another name.

can't remember who the poster was absolutely adamant Hastings would not be going to Newcastle as he just bought a place at cronulla lol

Nah he'll probably be really really happy. No brooks haters want him to play bad. He just does that himself, and they observe it and mention it. Then the brooks cult acts like someone other than Brooks made Brooks play bad.

Boy we really must be confident about getting back Moses 🥴

As we are all aware,

Things move quite fast and sudden in this game.

I'm sure Hastings, himself... wouldn't of thought he'd be moving up the coast to play for the Knights.

I'm happy to sign Klem BUT I think Tamou was over 150m per game the year before he came here.

He went from a star studded panthers pack with a top line 9 and 7 to an A Grade pack with numerous 9s and 7s none of whom were any good.

Hastings has scored himself a hefty pay rise with the Knights.
Once it was clear that Brooks wasn’t going to be released for 2023 Knights changed focus.
Sheens met with Hastings management & made the point very clear that his future was at 13.
It moved fast from there.
The hope is to build a forward pack that Brooks can actually play off.
Bateman deal will be finalised in the week but he will be here.
Very early talk for Brooks but the club would hope to present a restructured deal for 2 year extension but a reduced rate.

Very important meeting with Moses management next week where a formal offer is expected to be presented.

Matamua expected to be elevated to top 30.

they will have to play pogo at 6 but then they don't have a FB. Maybe they can get Tex Hoy back from Hull. Or they might go with gamble at 7 pogo at 6 and hastings at 13.

Yeah, thought about ponga 6
but like you said no fullback.
Jackson won't play 13 there,
He didn't want to play it here
and signed with them to play
In the halves. Their a shambles

Actually, I'll be the first in the line to admit I was wrong.

Unlike you and your little clan of simple bootlickers who would act like a bunch of hormonal teenage girls and drop snarky little comments in game threads whenever Hastings and AD were showing him up in the last two seasons.

Maybe Brooks is the bait to sign Moses. They were best mates once.

 

[ConePuncher]

AD and hastings showing up brooks is like three diabetics comparing dumps to be fair.

 

[Savvy]

Or Williams?

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

2 year extension for brooks 🙄
Throwing money down a drain there.

 

[dazza65]

I don’t know.
I don’t hate it.
I don’t love it.
i loved the on field energy and drive JH brought to the team but he is limited and I do feel that other teams worked him out pretty quick.
Brooks??? 50/50 Will have a vastly improved pack to work off…. Has pace… will probably be instructed to play to his perceived strengths unlike with Madge (?) …also makes sense if management have another 1/2 or 5/8 in the works…..🤷‍♂️

Thanks POM
any news on AD
or any other sneaky additions

I wonder how the club views Doueihi now as well. A 2 year extension for Brooks is 3 more years and the club appears to want to purchase a half.

I'd like to believe through the lens of Farah, Marshall, Lawrence and potentially Brooks all making sacrifices to stay at WTs.

Adam won’t be extended for the time being.
He needs to show his ability in the halves at the moment. Sheens isn’t convinced either.

 

[Aubanon]

Without a dominant forward pack, everything else is secondary.

So from that perspective, Klemmer is a requirement, Jackson a luxury.

I'm not against it, I also have no issues with the fluidity of the situation.

We came last, our forwards were dominated and things needed to change.
