If Brooks and Douhie can't work behind that pack of forwards they can both leave in 2024

The Mole pretty much confirmed today Brooks is signed for 2024. If that is the case I doubt you'll ever see him in a Tigers jersey again
@avocadoontoast Again ... that does not mean they will release him for 2023 Avo
@avocadoontoast Mole also had no mention of Bateman coming either... it was all about us getting Frizell.
Morgan Harper to be signed by Newcastle for 2023.
I would say they will not have Brooks in 2023 and will be playing either gagai or harper at fullback and ponga at 6 with either clune or gamble at 7 in 2023
2024 they may well have Brooks
Barry Toohey has come out and said
"Klem looking at longer term options elsewhere but Frizell not being shopped"
@avocadoontoast Mole now saying as at 2.40pm tigers are unlikely to go for Frizell
Three years is a looooong time for a 29yo pommie with previous homesickness and associated form drop.
Apparently Adam Douhie is in the process of sacking his Manager and will be representing himself in negotiations
Hastings and Douhie share the same manager. Does that mean that Douhie is unhappy that Hastings is getting closer to a deal with the Tigers?

Where did the mole say we were going after Frizell? He said he was being shopped but didn't link us to them.

of course they will. Sheens is smart. If Brooks signs with Newy he isn't part of our long term plans anymore. He'll be released.

Maybe not without a replacement.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
Getting rid of brooks is fine IMO , IF …. We have a plan that doesn’t involve Hastings and AD halves pairing .
If that’s the plan , the team is basically a poor man’s version of the 2018 Tigers . No attack what so ever , and diabolical to watch , like taking my son to his second game ever to watch old man Foran carve us up at Campbelltown bad .
I have faith this isn’t it , and if it is George Williams as the rumour is out there , then I’m ok with that as well .

Honestly i'd rather go in with Laurie and Hastings in the halves anyway.
