@voice_of_reason if we move brooks on we would potentially be paying 750k for a 10 game player in Madden for 2023
The team doesn’t lose anything with Madden playing halfback
I can see us winning a comp with Madden as halfback.
He's defensively inferior to any other halfback option we have. That's a significant loss.
I can't.
Far more upside and his defence will only improve. Goodbye Brooks.

I can't.
Far more upside and his defence will only improve. And we still won. Goodbye Brooks.
@mike disagree he is better 7 than Madden.
Hope Madden gets some game time at another club, we have let Paps and Teddy go, the club will survive if we roll the dice and move Madden on.

Well, it's not my decision, just my opinion.

The club has more chance of thriving if we move Brooks on rather than Madden. Brooks is stale here. Time to go. See ya.
@mike if you listen to kimmorley press conference it kind of sounds like Madden won't be signed, slight slip up of words from kimmorley "here or another club"
I listened, he also said Madden was an organising halfback.
That is something the club has missed since Prince.

We have one - he just wears 13 instead of 7
Top 8 2023
I thought I read somewhere that Madden was going to the Dolphins. I don’t mind if Brooks leaves but only if whoever takes him pays the full freight.
Great team effort today, about time we saw some offloads and second phase play.

Now we have two…
Adam Douehi sensational tonight and an inspiration.
I don't want to sound like I'm singling him out but his first half was terrible.
His second half, like last week, was very good. You can't be sensational playing poorly for 40 minutes.
I disagree completely
His second half performance swung the game in our favour.
The Fox panel after the game were signing his praises.

Correct. If Hastings and Doueihi were excelling at 7 and 6 I doubt people would be calling for Madden to play half.
It seems more an anti-Brooks sentiment than pro-Madden. I believe Madden's a decent player, but I don't believe he's our best half.

Hastings played very well today but I don’t think he is a 7. Too predictable and slow to play 7, better suited to that 13 link role.
