Walker probably won't leave Roosters
Johnson probably won't leave warriors
why would sharks swap Laurie for Connor tracey ?
offf contract we will probably end up with
7. Hawkins 6 Brooks
or
7. Sezer 6. Brooks
Hopefully we are still after Koula for 2025, rugby still hasn't signed him and he hasn't signed with Manly
- People are talking of trading Daine Laurie but given our lack of incision and the dearth of available halves would he not be worth giving a run in close?To me,as far as our roster goes it would seem the most obvious piece of positional tweaking to be done and is thus far untried.If it fails to bear fruit so be it,but I think it’s an important option at least worth exploring before,or if he’s being dispensed with.
This sums up Brooks to a T. Constantly makes the wrong decisions. Under pressure he has zero ability to see what is happening around him, and has no idea when to run, when to kick and when to pass. Bula unmarked to his right and he didn’t even look… botched another attacking play.
Not pretty. I have been warming to Brooks staying around but this was a brain dead passage from Brooks
Laurie’s performance in KOE doesn’t earn him an opportunity. He was totally disinterested on the weekend. Shop him around and get someone better or with more promise.

Laurie’s lack of desire to make tough tackles in the last line of defence is bizarre. Multiple times he could have potentially stopped a try and he pulled out of the tackle. If I was a team mate I would be furious
He doesnt make the effort to get in the right position.He is always arriving late
Shop him around and get someone better or with more promise.
Laurie isn't signed for next year with us - so we can't really shop him around.
But interesting that his manager hasn't got him a deal with any club for next year
Top 8 2023

I can’t imagine too many teams are in a rush to sign him. He’s a squad player who can do a job when required, those signings can normally wait.
That is just Brooks 101, he has no game awareness and zero footy IQ, how we could entertain keeping him, even on a reduced contract is beyond me, how many years does it take to see he just doesn't have it

Griffin sacked. Long shot but i'd be definitely sounding out Ben Hunt.
Tigers upped the ante to sign Shaun Johnson, 2 years now.
He would be an upgrade to Brooks. On his day Shaun is a super attacking gem.
AD needs to go as well after reoccurring knee injuries....I wonder how Bradman Best would go as I'm reading the Knights are looking at a roster shake up 🤔
Talking about AD, if the club isn't keen on retaining him after next year why not let him explore options now. Pay him out and get rid of him, otherwise we'll just have another Tommy T on our hands. Look after them for an extended period only to see them sail into the sunset towards Manly or whoever.
I doubt that any club would take AD whilst recovering, especially on his self imposed asking price of 800k 😂
If Brooks does stay he shouldn't be on anything more than 400k.
News just in that Hook has been hooked, permanently.
It might be time to ask Ben Hunt's manager if we can persuade him to come over as our number 7.
Hunt wouldn't want to play 9 at the Dragons in his last year or two, too much running for the ol boy. 😂
@avocadoontoast hunt won't come here he woykd want to go to a club that can win a comp or a coach he knows. We are too similar to dragons
Dolphins for hunt if he leaves dragons under bennet.
