Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I am not sure why Hastings is copping so much on here.

He busted his guts for us and has a genuine footy IQ.

Speed is not a factor IF you give him a 6 who has speed and can play off the cuff footy.

And he will have that in Ponga.

I actually think they will be a great pairing as their skillsets combine well.

I have been a long term Brooks fan on here...watched him since Holy Cross.

But, facts are facts, he can barely string a sentence together and has shown no ability to understand the game. Cooper Cronk commented a couple of years back that Brooks went to the side of the field for an entire set once when our opp had 12 men. Never once went to the side that was short.

I like him, and will always support a Balmain kid.

But anyone expecting Brooksy to develop any sort of game managing IQ in year 10 or so of his career will be disappointed. Yet again.

We need, desperately, to find a game managing half from somewhere. I still can't quite fathom why we did not swap Brooks for big Klem. Finding a running 6 is a hell of a lot easier than a game managing 7, which we once again do not have...

Is there any chance do you reckon, as unlikely as it may be, that Benny is in fact running interference against the Eels?

Usually when we hear speculative media about the Tigers, the truth ends up being the opposite of what you have heard (e.g. Latrell Mitchell going to sign, Tigers agreement with JAC etc.). There is part of me that thinks "gee if Benny is doing such a hard sell against Moses to the Tigers, almost over the top sales pitch, is he in fact obscuring a very good chance that Moses will do it?"

I know people dislike Benny Elias, with good justification, but why would he be at such pains to tell the media (at least twice now) that he thinks Moses --> Tigers is not a good idea, or not sellable? It could of course be to let the Tigers down gently, but surely Benny Elias knows enough people at the club to have that conversation outside of the media. Which is why I got the outside-chance hunch that the articles are actually for the Eels not the Tigers.

Totally consumed by self interest ,so as much cred as Gould
But suspect hes being used ny MMs management as the "herald"to let us down softly

Edit: the self importance/speculation.

Loud mouth uncles that announce
Things before they happen and

It's detrimental and embaressing.

Will be interesting to see if these Rah Rah boys progress, my tip is that Ben Houston makes grade with us, such a big frame with mobility.

Just FYI Tommy Talau played 5/8 in the Junior Kangaroo's a few years back

Yeah I am hoping Big Ben cuts it. The options are thin out there and it would be good if a left field option to pay off.
And yeah I knew tommy was a 5/8.

Yeh, nah...I think Benny is being honest in what he’s saying.
If he doesn’t say that stuff and Mitch comes to Tigers, it could start a family feud. According to Benny it’s been often “discussed” between the dad (Eels fan) and Benny (WT fan).
