Leave Brooks as a 6,

AD won't be playing much in 2024, Brooks is a better 6 than Schuster and you can get him for significantly less than 800k per year.Β 

we really need a 7

use Brooks discounted deal and talau moving to buy koula as a centreΒ 

Go for a 7 eitherΒ 

Hawkins - off contract

Hunt - unhappy?

Sezer - off contract

Townsend ?

Ethan Saunders?Β 

Not a fan of Shaun Johnson playing well this year as he is home in NZΒ 

Not a fan of Mitchell Pearce as others have said woukd spend half the season likely injured.Β 

Β

could large be a realistic proposition for 2025? If so , do we really want to lock ourselves in to anyone ?. Which is why Brooks isn’t a bad option . Sorry all you haters . A Brooks /SJ combo for 2 years would be fine IMO.Β 
It buys us time , because they’re an absolutely no one out there . And people talking up career reserve graders withstanding.

In saying that , a Fresh start should be the right option if we can land a halves pairing that’s half decent .

But I’ll say this once again , and scream it from the rafters , whilst brooksy might be only good for a max 4 tries , the guy saves a couple each game.Β 
And too many people never look at the defensive side of the ball.Β 
If we , for example had a combo of Schuster and Walker (just saying for arguements sake), whilst that would be dynamic and electric , it would also mean we are giving teams a 12 point head start, because of how woeful their defence is .Β 
Bring Β on the flamboyant tigers , im really looking forward to it again , but we have to find the right halves. Both in attack and defence . And sorry Avo , that just means we can’t rule out Brooksy , no matter how he’d it is for you . I’m sure even you can see how we’ve got a million dollars for a Ferrari , but there’s none available until 2026 . Do we go without a car , because the old Beamer has lost its lustre ?Β 

Β 

I think the old beamer analogy is pretty spot on to be honest. Costs a fortune to upkeep, rarely runs properly and only worth a fraction of what it cost πŸ˜‰Β

Has proven a money pit over the years but every now and then you catch a glimpse of its beauty and you keep reinvesting in it.

I would be very surprised if AD plays another game for us, his ACL op won't be done for 4 months.

AD acl

-- attachment is not available --

Would that timeline see him out for at least half of next season?Β 

Good luck to him in his recovery but that is a big hill to climb to get back on the parkΒ

Not sure about Schuster, he’s scared of rainbows.

I think it is going to be tough for him to get back before the start of 2025.
