Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Andrew Johns and Craig Bellamy and even Gus have shown interest in Brooks. He’s way overpriced yes but those who know footy realise there’s a talent in there.

I'm a huge Brooks critic but even I'll admit he's always been behind a dominated pack. Who knows how he will go behind a dominant pack. If we get Bateman for next year, there are no more excuses if he doesn't fire.

But they only want to pay what he is worth.
And nobody is even making him an offer, thats

The funny thing all these people that still go for brooks have overlooked, no other club wants him.

The goal posts will shift again.
They'll say his outside men aren't good enough.
The guy has been protected from day dot.

Couldn’t agree more.

That’s simply untrue.

Protected? You couldn’t be further from the mark. Protected would be giving him a couple of fire brands on his side of the field and a James Fisher-Harris upfront. Like Jamie Soward was protected by Beau Scott when he won a Comp. Brooks has been protected by a wet lettuce of a forward pack.

Protected from official criticism. Protected by the club from consequences to his offerings.
The vast majority of NRL fans dont rate him, but journos, comentators and his own club certainly look after him.

I agree with all of this except your final two sentences.
Mitch left in the worst way possible.
He threw games and faked mental health conditions to gain his release.

Pretty poor form in my book to call someone out ‘faking’ mental illness, how do you know ?

He had a miraculous recovery

That’s simply untrue.

exactly - Newcastle thought he was the difference between top 8 and not

And lots of other clubs would be interested except his price tag is ridiculous

Is that what they told you?

A good forward pack won't change his short kicking game 😬

Sure Mitch dying to be coached by Trent barrette 😂

Buzz writing tomorrow questioning Moses loyalty to parra.

Says eels have offered him more than $1m a season but has received bigger offers from bulldogs and WT . Then goes on a spill about loyalty

 

[Tucker]

No one has been able to get him because he’s never been left to negotiate…
Cameron Smith came out and said Bellamy wanted to have a crack at him…
Didn’t come to fruition because we extended him early and here we are…

You know how it goes though - if the truth doesn’t line up with your take on it… just invent a new truth

Bellamy didnt put up much of a fight
