RCG has turned out a great signing

Playing a lot better than he did the last two years at Penrith. Seems to have gotten his confidence back after breaking his jaw a while ago.

Yeah, he looked a bit gun shy after that. A risky signing that paid off

Cade Cust resigned with Manly for two years. CHN on the Tigers and Roosters radar for next year. Brooks on shaky ground and if Reynolds not suspended his position would have been under serious competition. All according to Christian Nicolussi in SMH

Me I would still rest Brooks even without Grub, ***he needs to be sent a clear message t***hat he is not up to NRL standard, I would play Walters in Brooks spot, how many chances does Brooks get

Im more interested in winning games than sending messages. D o you really think Walters is an improvement on Brooks?

Yes I do, I think you would be surprised

I would be surprised. I possibly rate him over Reynolds, but you know what they say about opinions.

I have named these two players on the forum before and been written off by many as usual. In this era of bash and barge rugby league there is a lack of players with pure speed, awesome footwork and good ball skills. Ilikena Vudogo & Terry Wapi although have not had a taste of NRL have these attributes and what we like to call X - Factor. I know you are going to say there nobody’s and never heard of them the same way I suggested a few years back Jamayne Isaako and Brent Naden before that made their debuts that season. Anyway do some research and check out highlights on Ilikena Vudogo & Terry Wapi and make your own opinion on whether you think these two are worthy or not.

Sure sign em up..

If he was an improvement on Brooks wouldn’t he have played 150 games by now? I’m not knocking the kid but to say he would improve our side over a guy that has played way more first grade is kind of silly.

Walters is defensively sound. Brooks not offering up much in attack.

It’s a tough one.

I’d give Madden a run with Marshall

 

[voice_of_reason]

Walters is defensively sound.

Is he? I thought he looked fairly fragile in the games he's played.

Mate I’m scarred watching madden in ISP last year offered nothing in attack.

Pretty tough from what I’ve seen. Fit too.

Neither do the incumbents

There are certain clubs that are very loyal to the Panthers, St Marys,Windsor,Emu Plains and St Clair in particular.
I played at Lower Blue Mountains for 20 years and every player that ever made a Rep squad would get sent to one of those clubs.
If they were good enough to make it to the NRL they never mentioned Lower Blue Mountains.

Same thing with us up at Katoomba with the 1 or 2 decent players we would produce, we usually lost them to St. Mary's. We never got any favours from Penrith.

I haven't watched the Knights every week but Herman Essese has seemed back to his best lately

Off contract I believe

Titans are chasing him hard hopefully we do as well but I doubt we can match their offer

Harry Grant had played less games than Walters, Nathan Peats has played the same amount as Brooks and played origin, doesn't make him better than Grant, no logic really, Brooks should never have played 160 games, at least not with us.
Brooks is clearly not kicking on, or even holding form, time to change direction

He’s had two great years, started his season strong but has had an average 4-5 games now. He’s certainly not doing well but they aren’t gonna dump him permanently for it

Yeah the Eagles!!! Best sausage sanga around! Never had any big boys like Minchinbury or Blacktown but had some good fighting spirit.

Everything you said was spot on in regard to top shelf players moving on and playing elsewhere (Peter Wallace maybe from memory was one). Ah well as a Wests Tigers fan one thing for sure is you can’t keep em all...
