Taffe is really a 6 that was playing 1, way better than what we have

Unless Sheen's and Marshall think he is better 5/8 than Brooks it ain't happening unfortunately.

They view brooks as our 5/8

What’s the new daily telegraph news regarding another spine shake up?

Apparently they’re going back to:
1. Staines
6. Doueihi
7. Brooks

Wow, can't wait to see the utter shit the 'shaken up' halves pairing produces...

I would think D Trindall would be worth having a crack at. Not going to get a go with Hynes ahead of him and you would think Sharks wouldn't block his path to a FG position.

I hope you mean B Trindall. Tricky Trindall has been retired a long while.

Right you are mate - typo😎

Toby Sexton is Brooks with a mullet....Kurt Falls is a good goal kicker but worse than Brooks in all facets of the game.

Could be right, point is there are always options out there, Lachie Miller at Newcastle is a prime example

I'd even take Steve Trindall over our current halves pairing.

Then they're idiots

Nobody is worse than Brooks

Simple, Cobbo and Laurie both indigenous, so I’d say one admiring the other due to race not club.

I admire the young fella, great Wakka Wakka player just like The Pearl love to see brothers excelling!

What’s the new daily telegraph news regarding another spine shake up?

Not sure, but Peter Badel on NRL 360 said Pascoe and Brooks are the 2 biggest problems and both need to go, surprised you guys and girls didn't hear me cheering

About time the media started to call it out

Pretty sure it's Douhi moving back to 6 to partner Brooks in 7.
Can't make this up.

hardly a shake up?

I was stoked, thought Wakeham at 6 and Simpkins at 7 and Staines at 1.
But no, instead we get this 💩

 

[tigertragic]

Sheens has put a line through Laurie being here beyond this year, Doueihi won’t be at the club past 2024 and the comments regarding Brooks earlier in the week weren’t promising for his stocks either. Wakeham’s on a 1 year deal as is and will likely go back to being depth once this nightmare of a year is over.

he’s trying to turn over the roster but sadly these things don't happen overnight.

There have been 4 representative quality forwards added to last years roster, plus TT and Blore are available. Nothing has improved under Sheens watch. He started preparing mid 2022 for this year, that’s what he told us, so coming up to 12 months and the result is ……,.

 

[izotope]

Same merry go round.

Need to be realistic though Brooks,Douehi,Wakeham all on the same level with shousery.
There is no-one else to take there position in the halves if we drop them.

Not sure laurie has any of the skills to play in the halves, definately cant tackle
Simpkin has he ever played in the halves? Going well at hooker.

If anything should let korisau take more of the kicks from dummy half and give bateman a license to make a play more on 4th or 5th tackle.

 

[Curaeus]

Not all that surprising we are going as bad as we are. We currently have only one confirmed member of our spine (Api) and no real or effective 1 or 7 and we will more than likely lose Api if (but more likely when) he declines to exercise his player option to extend his WT deal into 2025

I wouldn’t rate Brooks that high maybe a 1/8 at a stretch.
