The money they paid for Hastings was rediculous, so was the signing. Hastings is a good footballer , but not a half. How do you know WT was asked to chip in anything, it's all in your imagination.
Yeah, nah.
Coz he watch madden play first grade and said I’d rather brooks, and that really say something.
Speaking of BMM;
exactly because madden is a reserve grade player
Brooks was never going to newcaslte
it is hard for the Hastings fanboys to accept, Brooks is at least here until end of 2023 and probably further but who knows.
geez dragons are buying up has beens
Exactly. Brooks playing 14 games at 7 last year for 14 defeats. He showed some ok signs playing at 6 but he was diabolical at 7.
I got a good look at him at Commbank against the Dragons, and thought the same thing. He's no game breaker, but solid and does the job. He's a big body as well, so hopefully the addition of Klemmer, Paps and possibly Bateman see the pack play with a bit more aggression. I reckon he goes up a notch or 2 if he can dial up the agro a bit.
It's been reported many times that Newcastle were not willing to pay more than half of Brooks' WT salary, but I agree there is no point talking about it.
Yea that’s why he is no longer at the tigers
It truly boggles the mind to understand how the Storm do it. They not only re-signed Pap, Munster and Hughes all on big long term contracts, but they also managed to re-sign the understudies on long term deals. Pezet and Faa'alago would be playing first grade at most clubs, and have their pathways blocked for the next 4 years, outside of injury/origin. I get signing a one years deal but both pezet and faa'alago just re-signed long term last week. Both would have been absolutely sensational signings for us, but they'd rather be backups for the next few years 🙁
Whats new, they always do it.
Smith's best spot is fullback ...but that doesn't say much lol
Where was it reported ? The rest is nonsense, Sheens wants winners, he's to smart to favour players that don't perform. Dribble !
