Attention to detail??? Just gives the media ammunition.

Too be fair this would have been a Doltone House thing that was prepared by someone outside the club who wouldn't comprehend why a team would be called Wests rather than West, like most teams

Why does anyone want brooks at the joint he had 10 years here and was a huge failure, literally one of our worst contracts every was his

100%

 

[cktiger]

I think it is because we don’t have a halfback or running 5/8 of nrl high quality , both Latu and Andrew’s are just fresh faces and Madden is just reserve grade

So is Brooks

 

[cktiger]

I'd take Dearden over Walker

Can’t agree Happy… I think Walker has a better all round game.
But…. I’d take either if we could get them.

 

[supercoach]

McLean is well coached though

Bringing young kids into a Penrith team is a lot different to bringing a kid into a Weststigers team. They come into a very strong team, surrounded by seasoned quality players who look after the rookie.

With our team you’re likely to debut after the team has been smashed the week before and morale is on the floor. We bring up so many kids through desperation and it’s sink or swim.

I agree he is not a natural ball playing halfback, but what I think what he brings in ultra competitiveness and leadership overcomes his shortfalls.
We already have 2 highly skilled halves in Latu and Javon Andrews, but will they have the right level of competitiveness and leadership between them is the million dollar question?

Didn't we just offload an overpriced player who offered the same a couple of years ago.

Caller on SEN said Sandon Smith to Tigers 🤷‍♂️

What the hell do we need another 5/8 at WT for? Halfback maybe. Forwards yes.

That caller was taking the piss. Newcastle is negotiating to extend him beyond 2029.

We offered him a contract when he was leaving the Roosters, but we weren't close to consideration.

Laughed at all the media making a point of all the traffic run at DCE the other night by the Panthers.
One of them blurted out “he made 28 tackles” I’m thinking - that’s just another day at the office when Brooks was here.

I actually thought the same.thing...it happens in all games unless the half is defendingn on the wing

 

[GNR4LIFE]

So is Brooks

I get that might be a slam. But if you mean that literally, it’s a mockable statement considering he’s played 270 games.

Ever heard of proof checking, double check, measure twice cut once, or quality assurance?
I thought the same thing At first meh, these things happen, and being dyslexic and terrible with punctuation I don’t even get it.
But what I do get is professionalism, surely there is someone in charge of ensuring the company name is spelt correctly on the big sign out the front of the yearly company awards night.
Anyway we still have bigger problems.

But champion @balmain boy, you can't even get an inscription written on the icing of a cake without it being checked that it's correct.
So what the heck , here??

It doesn't work that way. WT have a design team, and even if that was the case, we would have to approve the artwork prior to print.

The job order wouldve been in writing from the club..either the print company has no QC or someone at the club screwed up

 

[FreefromHBG]

if the Wests Tigers consider hiring Shane Flanagan, they can look forward to another year of media attention and distractions.

 

[clontarfkid]

Personally, I hope not, he is okay and certainly not anything special, he's small (lacks stength) and struggles with defence and gets tackled too easily. I haven't seen him do too much even in this Panthers team, he was dropped mid year, and he wouldn't be that cheap.

We have enough halves already, let them fight it out and hopefully we find a good combination.

Spend the money eslewhere if we have any

Totally concur...weve got a bunch of unproven halves already..if were gonna buy one,make it a good one

 

[clontarfkid]

seyfarth was told he could explore, doubt anything happens though

He was good for us last year.Clear flaws,but puts in every week unlike some

 

[Leck]

It could have been their initial mistake, but no print company will move forward with the job unless the artwork has been approved by the client.

 

[clontarfkid]

He's on 12.5 percent of the cap that's his contract at the Cowboys with ratchet so big big $$$

If thats fact,hes on about $1.4 currently....good player,but not worth that
