Luke Brooks being linked with us again.

The new marquee rule might make it more viable?

Wests want to keep him now, I think.

Given whose available, I'd definitely take Brooks. Decent age, and doesn't seem to be injury prone, and better than what we currently have.

Sheens has said he wants to offer him a contract. How much that contract will be worth and for how long are the crucial questions. Suspect Leeds would be prepared to offer him more over a three/four year period.

We have to sign top quality and 1 and 7,if we don't it's another year like this.
A good Centre or winger too and maybe more if Bentley and/or Lisone go to Aus

This whole marquee thing is a farce and we should be scrapping it, rather than increasing it. Back to set salary cap, and that’s it. We have no players who should be marquee, and none moving forward. I’m finding it a bit annoying how some players are so over rated on here, and others given most harsh criticism. Let’s look at what players actually offer, how many minutes they play, rather than just perpetual potential!

I agree, but raise the cap to 4 million or 60/40 of gross turn over.

I think Tet will retire, awful way to end a career if it happens.

The cap has played to the bottom rung of the ladder for decades and its not been good.
The increase in NRL just makes it harder.

We just dont have the quality over here. SL ahoukd drop to 10 teams and split the 3xtra money between those on top of the other stuff img are coming up with.

With the right incentives we might see a genuine push at advancing the homegrown players and then less but more intense games which will help the international front too, imo ofc

Adam Swift reportedly leaving FC.
I would be happy to take him in a swap for Olpherts
