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.
"You just said Burton is against it, so therefore good chance of it not happening. If a team wants Lorenzo and there is a clear path to FG, he will take it. As for kids earning their stripes. It's nice in theory but not the real world in sports. I…"
"His long kick is relied on by Dogs as they don't have anyone else. He has a killer bomb and a long kick but not the accuracy like Moses. Having Moses taking the majority of kicks makes Burton's bomb more of a weapon."
"Two year deal for Burton is also OK.
Burton is not an organiser but his kicking can make him a makeshift 7 when Moses not there maybe too?
Also Burton can be a 13 maybe. He has the body.
I think Lorenzo does still need NRL, like 5-7 games a year…"

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?
