I don't reckon we can waste another year waiting for Brooks to step up TT. How many chances does he get? We need to get an experienced half NOW!

Who's available? Lets assume Cronk isn't.

Tyrone Roberts is one name that is thrown around here.
Another I will offer, Todd Carney. He can play and if he is watched and mentored can lead a team to the finals. Now we won't be hiring Carney because he would block Nathan Cleary, but if Reynolds pulls out and stays with the Dogs I would not rule him out.
Ultimately we are looking at this wrong IMHO.
We can say lets recruit X.. but we are going "we like this guy" or " we see this guy score tries"…
The real value is in the players that Ivan Cleary goes "this guy could be good if he did this thing differently... he is a 200K player now but I know how to make him 300-400.. lets go for him".

I can't see a better option than sticking with Brooks and banking on Cleary improving his game. Good halves are too hard to find and cost a fortune. WT need to move on if he doesn't stand tall next year with a good squad around him. I like the idea of Roberts to play utility and provide competition.

If manly are having cap problems, I would consider Cameron Cullen. He would not be on a big contract and seems to have plenty of ability

What a load of crap, RLPA saying they haven't given it the greenlight yet. How surprising, the players haven't approved the spending limit on their own salaries.
NRL needs to set the mark and be done with it, it's already been negotiated for too long. Player and clubs that have gone ahead and done deals without a set limit took the risk and should pay - you don't get to spend in excess of your means then ask that your means be raised because you went ahead and took the risk. Happens to ordinary folk all the time.

Robbie and Benji were both overpaid and that caused massive issues for the team to develop a top quality squad. The has continued to this day with the big 4 being massively overpaid.
Hopefully this never occurs again.

I think you could get Moses Mbye cheap!!!!
@ said:
I hope Ivan is able to tweak a few things in Brooks game and turn him into a top half back. If someone can do it Ivan can. Brooks game is not great but it's better than Tyrone Roberts or Mbye's. Why replace him with them?
Also I'd love to have Nathan Cleary in a couple of years. But as mentioned we may run into problems if a particular player is on massive dollars. So it would have to be for a good price.

Farah at Souths was always going to end in tears.

I believe it was only a one year deal to collect his cash until Cook was ready to take over. The second year was never going to happen. He has been okay for them earlier in the year but his time is up. Good career but he will retire has taken a battering and doesn't look like he has much in the tank.
You've got to wonder if Farah regrets his decision to sign with Souths… He's no longer a one club player, he got overlooked for origin, his team missed the finals, and he's sharing the hooker duties with someone that most souths fans think is better than him.
He should've gone to England, picked up his retirement package, and returned as the prodigal son to a role with the Tigers, forever remembered as a one club legend.
Ahh, the benefit of hindsight...

If we're talking about bringing back ex players what about Adam Blair? Rumours that the broncs might move him on.
He'd be a great lock for us with next year's props.
