There is method to his madness. Have heard him say that you get the ball back after scoring. They also can’t score while theyre huddled in their own in goal while you’re lining up the conversion.

It's been rumoured that he will be medically retired due to concussion issues. Hence why the chooks want to move off him. Agree he is an incredible player, but I don't think he has long left in the league

I can see Brooks generating more points with better players beside him, particularly edge back rowers. He won’t be a single point of failure anymore.

Having a class ball playing dummy half like Api will improve our attack x10 aswell
I get the feeling Simpkin’s dummy half scoots weren’t fooling anyone

Bit rough, I see value in giving your numbers 1, 3 and 5 the flick

Agree with all except Ken with his knee fixed I think he will be very good.He was good on one leg

Depends on price.
We clearly don't need him (Brown). But I wouldn't mind just a little more depth....
I am talking 200/250K or less and that won't happen for these players:
Brown
Marty Taupau
Get Andrew Fifita out of retirement.
... Tempted to suggest Aaron woods but I think he is more media focused.
I know a Young gun may be delayed in making first grade, yet they would benefit from the experience at Training and on the field. Alternatively if we could sign one of the above outside the 30 like we did Will Smith, that would be a boon. Particularly to harden us up at Training.
Yes sounds weird to argue for Depth in the forwards. Yet we saw how Cronulla benefitted so much when they had Gallen + Lewis + Chris H + a stack of forwards.
Which I know we have a decent pack at the moment. Yet were an injury off being weak again.

Nah, they are not thinking that.
What they are thinking is that they have lost Papaii, trade Brown for Taupau and they get more impact for maybe 100-200k.
Thank you Matterson/Moses/Gutho for blowing your clubs cap.

Very interested to see what they get out of Nofo this year. Marshall seems like he won't be afraid to tell him the truth.

If that’s our tactic, we are in trouble.
Penrith have proven defence trumps attack in this current form of the game.

Well one things for sure, we will be signing a halfback sometime in the next couple of months. No team goes into the season with only one halfback in the top 30, especially with no halves as development players.
If Brooks does his knee we literally have no one remotely capable of organising a side. As a bare minimum we'll sign a jock madden type youngster with potential.
Our NSW cup squad doesn't even have a halfback remotely capable of stepping up, Kade Hill needs to put on another 10kgs before he'd have a chance. We will sign a halfback, sadly the one I'd have taken, Pezet, just re-signed with Melbourne

Yep exactly, and this is a big part of the reason we should go for RTS, he comes with no former Tigers baggage. Ted would see it as a step backwards and be dirty.
And I would really love to sit back and watch the Ted and Nick divorce play out.

exactly whether they re sign Brooks or Douihie, with our pack in 2024 we become an attractive proposition for teams with that pack and have basically 1.6 million to spend on 2 players if we need to
Four major things a side needs;-
1- Grunt ;- Klem, Paps, Pole, Stef, Offa, Blore etc should do the job.
2- Playmakers ;- Brooks, Laurie/AD, Api, better then 22, with Api, but still a worry.
3- Speed;- still up in the air, need Stains, Tupoa,Naden and Kepoa , to fire.
4- Kicking game ; Terrible in 22, ; coaching staff must get the halves spending many hours at training, and the side taught to buffer the kickers.
