Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

News on the other forum that we have offered Brooksy a new 3 year contract.

But (supposedly) less money?

Tim Sheens wants Brooks back at Tigers... but would ‘prefer it to be at less money’

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.

Tigers half refuses to stay if club keeps Luke Brooks

And there is plenty of interest. 👇

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.

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

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.

But it would be so WT’s to dump him so as to keep Brooks

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…

Can’t we make it ten years?

It is so f**ken funny isn't it. It started I kid you not at 500k. He did get a contract upgrade but not to the highest paid player in the history of the game.

The words reported were along the lines we are building for success in 2030 and Brooks is the guy we see leading us to the title.

 

[gordsy]

If we sign Brooks for the next three years then we might as well take up fishing for the next three years, probably five years. No way we win a comp with Brooks as our half.

 

[Dogs Of War]

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

Carrigan gets 4 weeks. That is a light sentence.

It sounds so dodgy on the part of the NRL.

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.
