Yet you and I are the ones who should be careful what we wish for, even if it was Flanagan coming in, you seriously have to try something different, as Joel said it is insanity trotting Brooks out every week, every year hoping for a different result. Surely Fulton puts the brakes on the Brooks love, he can surely see our issue is now in the halves and both of them are not the answer moving forward.@avocadoontoast good positive attitude
You think he's going to come good after 10 seasons? Give me a break.
if Fulton didn't want Brooks then brooks wouldn't be offered a deal as simple as that...
Not fussed about missing Johnson, however I worry there’s no plan E.
We’ve exhausted plans A-Z and now we’ve unfortunately landed at plan LB.
I'm not annoyed at Brooks in any way - he sounds like a great guy and has put e erything he has for the club.
But I am annoyed at the club admin for how this whole thing has been handled, I'm losing more confidence in their plan at every move.
We've assembled a great team with api, Bateman, ice etc - we have then for 3 or 4 years - we need to make the most of that time, now.
Not throw away game like we did last year, and not be stuck in a holding pattern like this year and looks like next year.
I want to start building now - and to do that we need to lock in a great halves pairing.
Top 8 2023
@avocadoontoast agreed . I don’t think that’s the hold up . I think there’s more at play .
Complete madness to extend Brooks. Regardless of whether we think he has talent or potential or whatever, it is clear he is not the player to lead us to any form of success. We need change and so does Brooks.

If that is Fulton’s opinion on Brooks, then sorry but we could be in big trouble.
@dirty-reds this is it entirely . But to be fair , I think Jock Madden was supposed to kick on a lot more than he has .
It’s not a tigers thing , but really an nrl thing .
The 2 beat kids to have come through in the last few years , are panthers juniors ie. Katoa and Burton .
Hynes was another Walker type who everyone said no to, and then there’s basically next to nothing .
Sexton and Boyd were considered generational at the titans , not sure if that’s true .
I mean whoever decided to let Ilias go , needs his head examined .
You basically have to right off most players between 21-26 unfortunately That whole generation m, we just screwed them up .
Whoch means debuting a 18-19 year old.
We hopefully have a brain in our head and are pushing hrs for Sanders .
I wouldn’t care if they folded the club at this point. I’ve absolutely had it.

over one player getting a contract ? I get you kept thinking it wasn't possible but geez it's one player mate
I was not a fan of re-signing AD for a year but didn't want the club to fold over a Signing.

It’s 10 years of inept management by a bunch of imbeciles that have left us in a position where absolutely no half will join us.
I don’t blame Brooks, he’s just not a good player, it’s not his fault. It’s the Pascoes and the Lees and the Sheens and the Taylor’s and the Clearys that have taken a club that should be successful and completely ruined it.

hang in there though mate don't give up on supporting the club.
you heading to LO tomorrow ?
Our big problem is we will need to pay massive overs if we want any player let alone halves.
I think we have some big signings in the works (no not Brooks lol) I know some don't rate koula he isnt going to solve our halves issue but I think he is really close to being signed fir 2025.
