Wests Tigers Halves Partnership for 2018

Looks like you can pencil Brooks in as one of the halves. Word around the campfire is he's signed for 2 more years.
 
Now that we have signed Brooks, I personally would drop off Moses…..they may have been schoolboy wonders together but that has not been the case in the 2 years they have played together in the NRL....they just don't work well together.

I could not care less now if Moses leaves the WT, his attitude sucks and he thinks he is better than he truly is.

I think without Moses, Brooks will rise to greater heights and really manage the game better....What Brooks needs is an Austin type 5/8...both in style and attitude....shame we let him go over Moses.

Jack Bird is another we should put in the poll.
Better long term prospect.

Jack Bird/Luke Brooks or Jack Bird/Cooper Cronk?

It will not be Bird. He wants to play fullback. Newcastle has offered him the keys to the city.

Where does that leave Kalyn Ponga then ??

I'd say if they want him , they want him @ 6 or they are pushing his price up to target someone else

He's been offered 820k by the Sharks according to supporters. The Knights are offering 900k.

Basically Mitchell Moses money.
What's stopping us?
I'd be so happy to see him come aboard linking with Tedesco.

He wanted 5/8 or fullback. He gets no ball at centre.
Slot him in and throw Moses away.

Knights offer of 900k can be beaten by us. Better coach and squad.

I understand he travels up from Wollongong to the Shire so it would be long drive to the Hunter.

Jack Bird is already proven, if he's asking for similar money to Moses we're mad not to have a look.

Some off-contract halves for 2018:

Will Smith(Eels), Lachlan Croker(Raiders), Matt Frawley(Bulldogs), Josh Reynolds(Bulldogs), Jack Bird(Sharks), Nu Brown(Sharks), Chad Townsend(Sharks), Tyrone Roberts(Titans), Kieran Foran(Warriors), Ato Hingano(Warriors), Ray Thompson(Cowboys), Luke Kelly(Eels), Drew Hutchison(Dragons), Gareth Widdop(Dragons), Josh McCrone(Dragons),

I intentionally excluded some off-contract players from the list.
 
Brooks/Foran, assuming he's in a good space, might even be cheaper than Brooks/Moses. He'll likely want a Sydney club to be close to his kids and if the Dogs go for Cronk I doubt they could afford to pair him with Foran

I agree 100% with above statement. If WT can not sign an experienced 5/8 then other good young running 5/8's to consider: Fa'amanu Brown, Ata Hingano & Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.

Cronk has said tonight that he might not even play on. I think for the moment we should focus on more realistic options.

I believe that if Storm win the comp, then Cronk may retire.
Want to go out a winner.
 
Brooks Widdop Whare, a nasty front rower (talk is dogs might let Graham go). Teddy at fullback and fill the gaps around that
