There is definitely a plan b.

Whats that?

 

[thegbone]

Pretty sure since Wests Tigers have been around (at least), there have been more Lebanese players playing for us than the Dogs.

From memory:

BULLDOGS
Jacob Kiraz
Michael Lichaa
Hazem El Masri

WESTS TIGERS
Ahmad Bajouri
Adam Doueihi
Robbie Farah
Mitchell Moses
Hassan Saleh
Alex Twal

Jarrod saffy has Lebanese heritage

Imagine if the plan was to have doughi and mosses in the halfs and get rid of brooks I think this would be a better halfs pairing but I think brooks been here is part of why Moses is considering us

No way that was the thinking finnzo, it was Brooks and Moses , or Moses and someone else they have their eye on with speed. We don't have any idea who they are trying to buy , except Moses.
Have no doubt they know that Moses is 50/50 at best, and have contingency plans for other signings. Much will happen over the next 12 mths, it's early days yet.

Wasnt he South African?

If we miss out on Moses I’d be chasing chrighton to play fullback

Depends on the money. Not sure hel go great outside his 'crew'. Rather Herbie Farnsworth only be ause hel put in every game.

Unless WT have replaced a benefit with another benefit, what could possibly take another week for more thinking time?
I thought halves prided themselves on their cognitive ability?

Not our current half 🤣

 

[liltiger]

And that is exactly why TPAs are a joke. We all know that is what happens but it is the exact opposite of how TPAs are supposed to work.

The league of the haves and have nots

Agreed I’d much prefer farnsworth ovee crichton (however it’s spelt)

The last time they played a full season together they were the youngest halves pair in the comp and took us to 9th. We should have made finals, and may well have if we weren’t carrying a guy who was betting against us.

There are plenty of reasons to expect that they would be a far better pairing now.

Plus we had the two of them in the wrong positions. That season our best games by miles was when Brooks was injured and Moses ran the show

 

[Cobarcats]

Breaking the rules of mathematics he is a 90% of coming and 50% of not coming.

That adds up to me 🤔

You really think our best games "by miles" were beating the Cowboys who completed at 58% and a loss to the Titans.

There is definitely a plan b.

Fingers crossed we don't need plan B but not many options out there really.
Maybe George Williams or bringing in a youngster.
IF Dog's get moses I say have a red hot crack at Crichton so they don't get both or at least have to pay for it.

Spot on. And I'd say his crew make him look better than he is. He'd be best staying there, he's not the marquee player he's being made out to be.

There's only not many options if you're thinking a player will join us for 2023.

even 2024 options are looking low as well... That's why I 100% think the dogs are in on moses regardless of what lies Gus says.

 

[getagrip]

Maybe - but where I have read Simpkin is gone in the media…
I’m looking at the players we’ve signed, the players we have coming through and the players we have - stenciling that with the spots and opportunities available and factoring in some Common sense…

I would be surprised if Simpkin hasn't been given a tap on the shoulder. For whatever reason, he has offered nothing despite all the raps when he signed. Options now look much better than him.

 

[gregjm87]

When Moses and Brooks were last a partnership was what I was referencing

Bones was talking about 2016. You said that year when Brooks was injured were our best games. Brooks missed 2 games through injury.

The played as a partnership for more than 1 season. It was clear as day Moses should have always been the one at 7. Brooks doesn't direct, hell he doesn't even speak

Why is it that no one takes the hint?
Disregard the u15's coach who put Brooks at halfback and Moses at 5/8. Swap them around... I have zero idea why they were not changed....

Otherwise Punt Brooks for Moses and have Doueihi pair with Moses if we want (or take a punt on someone else).

FYI, I love Brooks. He cannot play Halfback.
