Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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

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

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

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

Thats it, Stains at 1

hardly a shake up?

A shake up is both Brooks and Doueihi out, and that would be a godsend

 

[GCfan]

Doueihi probably took notes. Point taken about him but my point is that he's not necessarily a top tier player but he's better than what they had and they're building on that. He has speed and effort at least and he'd be playing fullback for us if he was here.

Brooks has speed 😉

 

[Buttface]

Brooks has speed 😉

then maybe he should share some with the rest of the team.

 

[weststigerman]

Sorry guys there just screen shots, hope you can read them.

Im guessing Laurie will get FB. Mainly because I have no idea who plays on the wing with Ken gone and Nofa injured. Maybe To’a?

 

[Viking Warrior]

Doueihi is shot, I'd rather see Simpkin at 7 and Bateman to 6. We will still loose but hopefully it sends a message and starts putting pressure on these other two to start looking for a new team.

 

[jadtiger]

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

Obviously because Wakeham played worse than Brooks and Doueihi and if you can believe that i can sell you a luxury apartment on the sunny beaches of Antarctica.Sheens is beyond demented

 

[TonyTiger]

Brooks has speed 😉

Wouldn’t have the coordination to get it up his nose

 

[Lukic]

1. Staines
2. To'a
3. Naden
4. Kepaoa
5. Tupou
6. Laurie
7. Wakeham

Why can't we try that?

 

[GCfan]

Wouldn’t have the coordination to get it up his nose

He would after 12 years though

 

[SeanT]

hardly a shake up?

Nope..just a shaking of the head.

 

[Needaname]

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

They do nickname him Tricky at the sharks.
I believe he is related.

 

[Buttface]

🪑🚢

English for the old please

 

[Demps]

1. Staines
2. To'a
3. Naden
4. Kepaoa
5. Tupou
6. Laurie
7. Wakeham

Why can't we try that?

They've never dropped Brooks.
That's why.

Wakeham is the fall guy, like many before him.

 

[izotope]

"While Brooks will stay in the first-grade team for this week, if the Tigers continue to perform poorly, the heat to drop the maligned half down to reserve grade will mount before too long.

Last week, there was speculation about Brooks being dumped but according to Crawley, the Tigers got cold feet at the last minute. This is said to be due to the stigma surrounding dropping a player worth $1.1 million a year."

We don't have enough data to go on, maybe brooks is just about to hit his straps.
i say good cadence by the wests tigers without making knee jerk reactions.

Nah, Darrell would definitely be the one we'd sign.

Couldn't go wrong with a combination of Shifty Sheens and Tricky Trindall.

 

[hank37w]

Brooks has speed 😉

the rest of the team has Mogadons.
