Madden’s management spoke to Wide World of Sports following the victory, claiming that if the Tigers continue to support Brooks, Madden will have no option but to leave.


And who could blame in.
Has anyone heard chat that Hastings also wants out? I was told he wants out because people in the club are not happy with him - apparently he speaks his mind and people don't like that.
I thought there was something about Hastings, somewhere (probably on here though) about not being happy? Though I don't think he has said anything to suggest this recently?

Hopefully Tigerm, Sheens, Marshall & Farah can convince him to stay, especially with Api added to the spine.

From fox sports nrl news.
Couple of Goodens there?


Mystery surrounds Newcastle prop David Klemmer after he was left out of Adam O’Brien’s side.

Josh Schuster has been moved to the reserves list following Manly’s pride jersey saga.

But (supposedly) less money?


I think the idea is Brooks on an average salary for a half works for the team.

From Tommy Shines:-
“But the reality is he is a truly gifted footballer and I would love to see him perform at his best for the Wests Tigers.”

Hastings sounds extremely happy here. He stated he wanted to re-sign with us. Let's wait and see what happens but I think we can put a line through him being unhappy here.

There is a video on Fox NRL Sports News, (I can't download it) by the Chairman today, is quite interesting?

It's an awesome interview on that link that you provided. They haven't provided any of the transcripts or audio of the instance. They have a meeting soon and Lee stated he wanted to have that information prior to the meeting.

It sounds so dodgy on the part of the NRL.

It is hilarious that every time they right a story about Brooks his salary jumps by $100k. Either Pascoe has written a clause into his contract that says every time he gets mentioned in the media he gets a raise (under the premise that all publicity builds the Wests Tigers brand) or the team at Fox League are just having a laugh and egging each other on to increase it every story…

They low-balled him when he won Dally M 2nd Rower of the year! We were champing at the bit to sign him up long term on a deal that was a great result for him. Pretty obvious who the classier club is.
Same reason the dogs got Maloney. Parra low balled him. Dogs offered market rate. You can see parra spirally down the table over the next few years and add to there record spoon collection.

Aww don't tease!

Side note - with all the Klemmer talk, should do a straight swap for Brooks. Easiest decision the club could make
this is the way out. Punt the dwarf and grab the klemdog! Would have a pretty fearsome pack with him added to it

At his press conference last Monday Graeme Annesley said the transcripts and audio were avaialble for the Tigers that day if they wanted them. Over a week later and we still havent been able to access them. The NRL are 100% covering something up. I have no doubt they'll mysteriously get deleted or found not to be recording properly, which is about as believeable as the cameras in Jeffrey Epsteins cell not working just as he committed suicide.
