Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Oh well we can all go back to hating Moses again, most of us will admit the love in for him was very forced. Throw the cheque book at Welsby see if we can tempt him for next season.

Give Brooks till round 8 before you write him off… he has never played behind a pack on the front foot.. he will in ‘23….

That’s about right mate, 6-8 weeks before you offer him a deal. First month could be rough while we build combos.

Expecting the club to announce shortly a 2 year extension for Brooks, doesn’t want to go anywhere else based on discussions despite recent interest from the Dolphins.
Going to give Brooks & AD a chance to prove themselves now for the time being.
Large is the future for the club. Hopefully ready a year after Benji takes over

Thanks for the info mate always appreciate it 👍

So other than extending Brooks do we have any other potential targets now we haven’t given all our cash to Moses?

Farnworth, RTS, etc???

 

[tony soprano]

Piss Brooks off now extend Wakeham

 

[Mighty Mouse]

There you go fellas, obviously Moses was never going to come. Welsby and Farnworth would be awesome pickups although the latter is apparently close to staying at red hill

Any chance the 2 year extension was signed in the hope of playing him alongside Moses? As in the manager Isaac Moses used the situation to get the best option for both clients? Brooks gets more money with Moses not at the club. Is it a decent contract as in we are getting good value out of it?

If there’s 1.4million involved hopefully we aim higher.

 

[Tiger Tail]

Lets' wait and see if we have a Plan B

 

[THE_POM]

Any interest at this stage in Ethan Sanders or the like?

It’s an option but club does have plans for Conti so it expect if a half does come in it would be an experienced half not a rookie

 

[krissy]

I am glad the Moses saga is over and I am not disappointed by the outcome. The idea of bringing back a player that tanked on us to get his own way, just didn’t sit well with me. I didn’t think we were seriously a chance of signing him, we were just driving up his Parra price. Would he have made a difference to our team, probably, would he have taken a giant chunk of our cap for years, definitely, are there plenty of fish in the sea, absolutely.
Time to turn our attention to this season & the cubs we have and maybe look at Welsby etc.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Oh well, c'est la vie.

Had a feeling it was going to be a long shot. He's not winning a comp at Parra so he's full of shit about his intentions.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Hope the club doesn't panic and lock down Brooks for more than '24 in the interim.

You will be regretting that comment when Brooks has the break out year @Jedi_Tiger promised me for 23. We are better locking him in now for 4 more years at current prices. He might demand 1.2m a season after that. Do you want to take that risk?

Anything over 600 for Brooks is ludicrous. If we’re undefeated a month in, maybe 800

 

[barnsta]

Will be stoked if we beat parra and finish higher on the ladder than em, n parra end up crap for a few years

Any further news on Fletcher Baker? Good player, would like to see us sign him.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

In the end, the Eels basically matched the Tigers' offer, but unsurprisingly that's not how the media are reporting it.

I don’t want to hear that bums name again.
He and his management team led us by our noses twice now.
There should be no doubt we were used.
