Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Moses is a better player than Brooks, always has been, people just hate him for his personality, but his footy smarts are streets ahead of Brooks

Go support parramatta then if you like Moses so much
or
Go support Newcastle if you like Hastings so much

Fact is at present Brooks is here playing for wests tigers for 2023 and I would like to see wests tigers go well and make the semis

hopefully we get Moses for 2024 but one thing is for sure Hastings is not here

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Moses plus Crichton?

I wish lol

 

[Tucker]

Well I don't think you'd get all 4 ...but you get 2 and then a promising junior from within ...or external ...even keep Douehi as a centre and a back up half if we are desperate ....

More halves come available in 2025 ....you get even 1 again ......Fogarty ...Wighton ......Hynes ......Dearden ....Townsend.......Luai.......Keary ......and then you are talking .....that's how we need to be thinking

Keep Doueihi as a centre on his reported $900k salary request, added with Brooksies reported $1mill+? All those you have named will likely ask for similar to come here. Not much left overs for the other guys.
Additionally, all of these guys will start moving in 2024. What do we do next year?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

AD is dreaming for his rumoured asking price. I don't think any club will go for that, he's hardly proven himself. Easy to look decent around a bunch of numpties.

Praying for some good news RE Moses, but I would be very very very surprised. The only thing that could save the Brooks decision.

what about a jack wighton at 6 on 2024 ? if we dont get Moses

 

[851]

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

Or Williams

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Or Williams

I've always had a high opinion of Williams 851. He played well at the Raiders for the most and I was surprised he returned to the UK.

 

[Magpie Spock]

Thanks for that, was worried Woods was the carrot for Klemmer, thanks for the insight mate, much appreciated

Who plays 7?

We need a halfback.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Oh that's true... 😂😂

Facts however I would add... Brooks was all but gone.. till he wasn't... now Hastings gone.

Things can happen quick and unexpectedly.

If they are as good as Twal's look, take the barbecue down for the Knights game and we can all savour them after watching the halves battle.

You get him for 450 k max ...not even the Knighst would pay 900 k for him ....not even the Tuna's pay 900 k for him

Next year we try and get the pack right and get the centre pairing right .......maybe a fullback if one right comes available

if a half can see he walks into a side with everything else sorted ....makes it a lot easier to for the players themselves and the recruitment boys and girls

We need a halfback.

Brooks plays 7 if wighton plays 6 in 2024

as for 2023
could we possibly see
7. Marshall
6. Brooks

Before Moses comes to the club in 2024

He'll be 31 in 2024. No thanks.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Or Williams

Williams and Brooks would be good

 

[Garrry]

the good news is, with the 2023 draw we are just 3 wins shy from having a better year than in 2022

And how many games in 2022 did the tiger's lose cause of referee stuff ups, warriors cowboys ??

 

[happy_tiger]

We need a halfback.

Sam Walker or Dylan Browne ......2024

 

[happy_tiger]

Benji played most of his career without a 7,
Hopefully he's learned from that and looks to have one as a coach.

Only years he had a 7 he played Finals ...Prince and Lui ...a decent 6 can usually play 7 .....

I like you way of thinking, but geeze you are putting some pressure on 2023.
The performance of the pack has to lift from approx a 4 out of 10 effort this year. Thats a tall order. The centres need even more work.

 

[Tucker]

Didn't say I can't (I actually said I could)
But I wouldn't...
Why... Because I don't wat to.

Amongst many other reasons....

Fine.
Thanks for your contribution. Its been enlightening.

Benji?

So much debate on Brooks with most saying all bad or all good . Taking emotion out I feel Brooks who has improved his defence a lot and does have some speed but plays very structured in that he catches and passes on first few tackles and kicks on the 5th .These 5th tackle options generally look rushed and the kicks are often ineffective. Love or hate him Moses is much more instinctive where he plays eyes up footy and the opposition are not quite what he will do whether he will run ,kick or pass on any tackle! In other words an instinctive style vs a structured one . I admit the more go forward the pack gains the more time the half has to figure it out !
I'm not suggesting recruit Moses just using him as comparison .
Can Sheens after so many years get Brooks to play different ?
