@frullens only speculations on why mate, I think he doesn't want to play 7
Makes sense Adam spat the dummy and only wanted to play 6
God knows where Brooks can play, so we are left with Hastings as the odd one out.
Rumour is we are looking at Schoup
interesting if you take notice of Paul Kent and Brent Read they both said the club and benji are very keen on Mitch Moses
I really think my take on it is
Hastings to Dogs
Brooks to Newcastle or Parramatta
Mosses to wests tigers

I think there is a desire to reunite Brooks and Moses.

@garry I think so too but problem is where do they play douhie
I would play douhie at centre and run with naked and douhie problem is he will have a blow up if he doesn't play 6
I would like to see Brooks and Moses as halves they would be great together.
I just think Newcastle might get desperate for Brooks or douhie now they don't have Milford. Personally I would like to see douhie to Newcastle and we take Moses to partner Brooks but Sheens has come out previously and said douhie is in clubs plans so dint think that would happen but it is rugby league you never know

I'd be willing to give AD a go at 13.

@garry Douhie would suit 13 he runs better than Hastings, defence might be a problem but why not worth a shot

If we want that mobile ball playing 13, then Doueihi is that guy but as others have daid defence will be an issue but at some stage we have to consider, AD is a BIG body and there is no excuse for poor defence from him.
If AD got his act together, he is a 13 or 4. He is still young and will continue to bulk up. I actually think he will ultimately be too big (and slow) for 6.
Interesting comment that Hastings is on the outer. I personally don’t see how Moses would come and play 7, him and Brooks as best mates, it would be pretty weird for one to replace the other. Perhaps they are thinking Moses 7, brooks 6, douhie 13
Apparently Sheens and Gould are having a meeting and potential player swaps will be discussed.

I assume you mean (Hastings) doesn't want to play 13.
Hastings meeting with Sheens probably revolved around Ciraldo being coach. Once that dissolved and they shuffled him into 13 to placate AD, I'm not surprised to see him unhappy. Wasn't it Gould who said several players would leave if Madge went? LL, Garner and now possibly Hastings - and we're not even at Nov.
Ciraldo going to a rival club just shows how low we've fallen. He's not a fool and the Bulldogs is a far better run, far more professional organisation with a much better roster. Hastings is no fool either.
It seems the club is turning itself inside out to suit AD. Players running the team is a known poor strategy.
My faith in the club to do anything professionally is gone.

Yes. AD is a poor defender so 13 is out. If anywhere up front it would be second row where he could run good lines.
I think there is a desire to reunite Brooks and Moses.
Signing Moses is trying to revive a successful lower grades pairing with zero certainty it will work 10 years later. I can't see it happening if Brooks is moved on.
I hate to consider it regardless - Moses is a good player but a low person. I doubt he'd come anyway but he would be our best half if he did.
@voice_of_reason from what is coming out of some of the journos it is now benji's call on who he keeps between douhie Hastings and Brooks, douhie was a Madge favourite.
maybe Moses and Brooks has some legs
“If the Bulldogs said we’d love Jackson Hastings I reckon the Tigers would go ‘he’s all yours’.”
What's really sad about this is he's both our best and cheapest half - and the only one who has a modicum of knowledge of leading a successful team. Of course we'd let him go.
