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.
"He will surpise you with his ball playing with other forwards. As I just said a quick short ball at the line while looking to play out the back. He did it very well a few times in NSW Cup last yer,"
"Ye. Well Coinakis did the NRL preseason till December break before returning to JF which is where he will start the year. Ideally he would be our 3rd choice hooker next year as he should progress to NSW cup at some point this year. But we still need…"
"Ha! I sincerely hope that switching Hopgood between prop and hooker is not the back up plan!
We had Lussick and Hands in 2024 so having Smith and Da Silva now maybe feels like we have more depth, but we don't, just better quality players. It was a…"

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?
