no he didnt

He did.

Situation with Brooks has taken a turn in the last couple days, with his management informing the club he intends to sign with Knights from 2024 after November 1.

This is a quote from the POM.

Finucane is another honest toiler who shines with better players around him.

Very similar players.

One of the 1st guys I pick ...every week .....I like defenders ...he could play 350 games and not score a try .....defence wins premierships ...not show ponies who wouldn't scare a tackle bag

Am starting to worry about his concussions though, hope he's fully fit would hate to see him leave the game like Fulton did, Fulton deserved so much more he didn't deserve to prematurely retire because of concussions.

at least the club is shopping top shelve,instead of the bargain bin

Highlight the "done deal" part.

Sualii?

On his 1 year contracts?
Now sure, the guy has talent. He has some raw ability. But NO
No
we do not need a 1 season wonder.
Maybe there will crop up a season where our regular fullback will be injured and Sualii will fit the bill nicely.

Roosters bidding 1mil a season for a year by year contract player. Heck 1.2 1.3?
Honestly I would rather have Teddy. Sure you would get a slightly unenthused rep player. But you would know he would be there next year.

Parramatta shows you what to avoid, super money hungry players who won't take a 4k fine but ask for a 50k raise.

Sualii would be awesome but have to be a 5 year deal, long term. One year deals just means a circus starts around April every year, way to distracting and destabilising.

It'd have to be pretty good money for Farnsworth to come here

Eh not really. Fullback spot and 700k over three years would be fine. If he wants that spot then he has.to take what is given.

How much is Elon asking for membership? 😂

Okay, I'll stay.

Are they though? When we resigned Brooks after 2018 on a huge $ deal did anyone know if he or Mitch Moses were the better player? Fast forward 4 years and we are thinking of repeating the past on a guy who has ‘proven’ himself in a top 4 team. What if he’s still the same guy who left us when he’s in a bottom 4 team? Another long term half on too much $!!!!

Twal is a highly effective but not an efficient tackler - which is excellent if you're a back!

He hits and sticks - but rarely halts momentum until a 2nd/3rd defender join him.

Forwards need more shoulder and grunt in their defence - Pole for instance has great technique & is far more efficient in that he needs less support to hit/stop the attacker and complete the tackle.

(Plus he'll tickle some ribs along the way unlike Twal who is all chest and arms in the tackle!)

He couldn't ask for crazy money, if he said he wanted 900k he would be laughed at, he hasn't proven himself as a fullback yet, if the Tigers get it across the line, we might pick up a decent fullback on a really good deal. Would be strange not paying overs though.

any thing worth reporting CG

Moses was obviously the better player when he played with Brooks. Just watch the 2016 highlights to see how creatively Moses set up so many tries.

Does that inlude halfbacks??

Just wondering?

PS - Twal cuddles tackle bags.

I remember them both as skilful guys with defensive issues in the early years. I think Moses is more vocal but not convinced he’s a million dollar guy.

I’d keep upgrading the forwards and go out and sign a young half with a lot more tomorrow’s.

most supporters reliased2018 we kept the least wanted.if all the signings with the names swirling around play here ,we will be a much better place,would you rather Klem or Musgrove etc etc.its all just a merry go ride at the circus-be bloody nice to win more then we lose,

Put it to him that's he's unproven. It's.a fair deal and will give him the chance to get involved more in the game. He's only young so will have another couple of contracts.after it.

With the benefit of hindsight people will always criticise. I like that the club have seen the error of their ways and our forwards are improving. I hope they don’t stop before we have a competitive pack. Otherwise the halves are inconsequential.
