So what happens now with a new coach on the boil if Littlejohn actually goes OK?

Brookes may have done himself out of a job

Brooks is really getting close to not having an NRL career now. He looks to me like a player that may end up playing reserves or heading to England.

I have no doubt he has the ability to be a quality NRL player but I honestly don't think he deserves a contract at this point. I'd let him get physically fit and give him time in State cup. He comes across as someone who hasn't been coached or hasn't learnt to play the game at this level.

True, but there is usually someone desperate enough (Dogs) who might save it. If i was him I'd go to Storm for a year, they Cronk/Smith can make anyone look good and he would learn more in 1 year then in 5 at another club. It might be at a low price and Mr 15% manager wont be happy but it would be worth it long term.

I actually feel sorry for the kid but he is fast on his way to not playing NRL. Maybe your suggestion is exactly what he needs.

If it looks like a duck quacks like a duck &walks like a duck.,.,,u need to have the innate capacity to improve or learn to benefit from a mentor like Cronk.Brooks is the biggest myth in the NRL.He can't tackle can't kick can't pass & generally has a disposition that he just doesn't give a f**k when he's on the field.

There's no way that any other club would b silly to chase this bum.I reckon we r the only club that's made him an offer & that's only so as they can retain the other 3.

Mr dickhead 15% swindler can take the 4 (big 1 + 3 hoaxes) to some other club for them to impose themselves on areas of running a club that r outside there job description !

I keep seeing names like Lyall Lovett and Edwards every week..Its doing my head in.
But...they have jerseys 18 and 20 so i feel a little better now..
Bit worried if Ballin pulls out again who gets the nod.

Hunt, Tatola and Edwards have all been named in nsw cup. Sadly I think Lovett is a decent chance of coming in for Ballin if he isn't fit. Honestly I'd take Lovett over Edwards, that's like saying you'd take aids over cancer though.

Would love to know what's going on with Felisse. He has been our best juniour forward since Woods and looked good in first grade last year. Now guys like Edwards and Tatola seemed to have jumped him.

Whats the go with kev, surly we can flick this imposter and stick lawrence in the centres, chee cam in the 2nd row? Might lose a bit in attack but surely we save 300 tries a season with kev not there? Him and brooks can learn defence in nsw cup

U can't flog a dead horse ! These 2 defensive challenged liabilities r beyond help.They should b dropped to state cup with a black mark against there inability to defend so as they never play NRL for us again !!

You know what I find amusing -

We have tried virtually every specialist back rower at the club at Centre in the last few years.

Other than the bloke who represented Australia in that position......
