Slothfield badly wants us to miss out on Moses, basically ruling us out of the running and throwing out guesswork about the salary being offered.

good old rothfield like the Brooks stories on salary and where he was going simply make it all up
Bigger the lie the more the people believe it

Brooks in a running 5/8 . Cant manage a game , doesnt have that skill. If Moses doesnt come, I think Sheens thinks Api will manage the game & let Brooks & AD run wide. personally , i dont think this is the answer. As good as Api may be, he is no Robbie Farah.

Agree with Brooks at 5/8.

Why not

Lack of pace, was one of the biggest problems.

Who's slow?

Rothfield was Sheens best mate not so long ago - championed him for coach.

Hastings , AD, Gildart, Big ken, were not in the same speed zone, as their opposites.

Cameron Smith - also referee

Wally Lewis was the last captain coach Seagulls and Wynnum Manly before he signed with Brisbane .....

🤣🤣🤣

Our record is abysmal.

Leichhardt is still our most successful ground

Whats is our overall win percentage now .....38% lol at a guess

Exactly .. i believe we use Big Ken incorrectly .. with his size he should be used the same way we used Taniela Tuiaki (aka the Tank .. or TNT) .. hit the line out wide (wing) 10 meters out as hard you can .. and just run over the top (kiwi side step) of your opposing winger .. !!

Top teams have speed to burn in the halves, eg" Lui, Munster, Hynes, Moses, Brown, Walker, Hunt, DCE etc. Some don't believe there is a correlation between speed and performance, maybe iT's just luck that the top sides, have the quickest halves.!

Yep, I was referring to Brooks and Laurie half combo

Me ...anyone else ??

Laurie might do the job, but to throw him into the halves in the top side strait up , is a big ask.
Maybe off the bench, till he gets some experience.

He played lots of 5/8 in the lower grades

8th wonder of the world Leichhardt Oval

That saying drives me nuts, just like souths the pride of the league

I think it's the best way to get our key players on the field. If AD is moved to centre through, I doubt we will have him beyond this year. He'll want the opportunity to pay 5/8th.

1. Staines
4. AD
6. Laurie
7. Brooks

Ken is quality.

Top finisher ,scores off bombs saves tries, even on 1 leg.

A good acquisition from Madge.

He is a weapon.

Is this good enough though. Do any of those players demand a spot in a top team ? Is Doueihi really going to be a good centre ? He isn't the quickest guy.

He’s got a great short kicking game close to the line.

 

[upthetigers]

If AD is going to have a hissy fit because he doesn't get to play his preferred position he can piss right off.
