Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Brooks also owes the club and fans a few decent games.

Agree.

To all those brooks supporters who keep up saying that brooks never had good forwards to help him to play well, then take the time lo look up the west tigers teams from 2014 - 2015 - 2016 - 2017 then see if you can blame the lack of forwards on brooks bad play, good forwards or bad, brooks plays the same way,
Bloody terrible, while the possibility of signing him was a possibility who actually tried to take him from us, only the knights but at his price no thanks,

During those years people were calling him the next Joey and we were winning half our games. He also won several awards.

 

[BAGNF05]

Sure, but that's a Penrith Premiership team.

We had Stefano, Tamou and a pack that was big enough to do something on the field. Many commentators had us making the 8 with Hastings.

What we saw was some games where they tried their guts out. Others where, it was Cricket scores and absolutely no effort. Should Tamou have lead from the front like Gareth Ellis, James Graham,etc would? Yes, but it wasn't happening.

We have seen Tamou do some wonders on the field. He Dropped form massively in coming here and our team dropped form. We need answers as to why and I don't buy "player X did not put effort".

We were favourites for the wooden spoon with bookies because we had a shit team. Mostly because our forwards were weak compared to the good sides.

All will be revealed in '23 Spicey!

More confident in his game with
Sheens and the guys coaching him,
not sold but just more confident.
This will be the best pack he's played
with. Fast, off the cuff, running rugby
league back on the menu dare I say

All Pre season training on one of those little mouse wheels.
Get the legs pumping

Across the game the short grubber is used less since the introduction of the seven tackle set. I think people forget that. You’re better off hitting opponents legs than whacking it dead.

Well he's all-world at grubbers hitting the legs. Like if that's your kink, the guy has a 10-minute highlight video waiting to be uploaded to YouTube.

keeping brooks over Hastings is absolute madness. Who is going to run this footy team. Brooks has proven time and time again he does not have what it takes to steer this team around the park. Looking forward to 5 hitups and a brooksy bomb - bring on 2023!

Jacko leaving instead of brooks will only make sense if we get Moses for 2024

I know, it’s infuriating. His kicking game in general is really frustrating but I put it down to the really average hit ups usually by Twal on the 5th tackle. Slow play the ball equals kick under pressure. Better forwards will help.

Just wanted to see your response at Will Smith being a half 😂

A utility than can play the role no doubt but bit of a stretch.

AD should definitely worry...
He may have priced himself out of an NRL career.

If what has been said, is actually true.

Think NBrown ditched his management for the same reason - reckons they didn’t hmget him enough money…
Maybe they’re being realistic and some players can’t wear it?

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Douhie is the best centre option for 2023
maybe Laurie could play 6 ?

AD will kick stones if he doesn’t get his preferred position in halves.
That’s what disappoints me most.

You think he'd be used to it by now

Terrible terrible decision re Hastings... Hastings not being considered a 7 and picking Bateman over Hastings are two big mistakes by Sheens. And yet somehow Brooks still survives... astonished

Brooks has 9 lives.

Good scoop @Tom Araya

Where did Tom predict this? On friday he said it was Brooks. I posted it was Hastings over a week ago

 

[CloudyGlock]

The week prior.

Nope, last Friday. The week prior he was telling us how he was a Knights fan with no inside knowledge

 

[CloudyGlock]

On multiple occasions.

Brooks/Klemmer

Not sure, any updates @Tom Araya It's back on again mate. The spanner in the works was Moses talks - world cup held things up there. But that's been cleared up. Moses will NOT be a Tiger. Have it on very good authority both Brooks and Klemmer to be formally announced next week.

Thanks mate, just wanted to share the info, didn't expect all the hate.

Pfft...what info did you share? Where is Brooks going?

Weren’t some on here suggesting that Brooks has signed for the Knights for 2024 and this was going to be his leverage to demand an early release?

Yep @Tom Araya

Hastings was phenomenal in leading us to the wooden spoon, with daylight to second last - in all honesty he played okay but not good enough to warrant any wrists being cut 🤣

You think he'd be used to it by now

watch how long Cleary has to set up for most of his kicks. It is important.
