From the figures they were talking (which could be all pure bullshit) for the tigers to get rid of him to another club they would have to pay about half his 2023 salary - $600k was the number provided. Do you think his defence could be improved/adapted to suit dummy half. How would Api Korisau go defending in the halves for example? I'm sure his rate of missed tackles would increase. Brooks is a player that needs a change of scenery
Coz I've watched him tackle. You should watch him too that way you'll understand. You don't need to much of a sample size. About 10-15 games should be enough.
So Brown had the chance to leave early and go start his career at the Knights, and in return we would have saved a bit of his money or maybe nabbed another player.But he decided against that idea and chose to stay and fulfil his contract, basically…
"I would be throwing the kitchen sink at DCE for the next 2 years. He is exactly what we need at 5/8 or half depending on whether he or Moses makes the better 6. It would be like bringing John Peard in to the lead the backline and drive the forwards.…"
"I think this is the best and well articulated thread I've read on this forum this year BE well done mate.
Particularly liked the description of Ryley Smith the spark plug that fires the motor and I really like the somethings missing paragraph…"

In attack he could offer value, but he'd be a liability in defence. Maybe off the bench

Moses was just as shit and now he is a reliable defender at the Eels. At hooker Brooks will have more support around him.
I think he'll make a great hooker, looks to have a nice backpussy.
Good grief, this comment escalated real quick. I'll take your word for it Kurupt.
He does have speed, and a lefty kick from dummy half is always handy.
No way Brett. You're kidding signing a player who can't defend at hooker.
I didn't say we should sign him Chief, I merely pointed out his good qualities.
Yes well I gathered you'd like a hooker off the bench
How do you know he can't defend at hooker?
