Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

[bigsiro]

The king hasn't been here for 8 years

Also, he makes a positive impact.

since Douhie is out she can replace him

So in your opinion, how long do we keep trying with Luke? If he's not the problem, then who is?

Luke Brooks’ fiancée announced they are expecting a baby in September. Going to be a hell of a month for him, first child, first semi final win for the Wests Tigers and another halfback Dally M medal. Congrats Brooksy.

Geez, not fun being unemployed when you have your first kid.😉

Then your statement is based on your feelings - not Brooks ability - or reality.
The last half? I could rattle off 10 without thinking…
What about last year when the sharks ls just needed someone to kick a goal… and sharks halves missed about 10 of them!!
Townsend even got hooked he was playing so poorly (or maybe that was another game)
you might not want to Believe it, but that doesn’t make it wrong,,,
Brooks is a better than average half, in a very ordinary team - at a very ordinary time for the club.

It wouldn’t matter though, he gets kicked when we lose, and someone else gets the credit when we win… there were players here maligned no matter what for 15 years before him - and there’ll be the same for 15 years after he’s gone… everyone has to blame someone, it’s always easier than admitting there’s actually a larger issue

Sick of repeating this but I'll do it again

I don't think all our problems are from Luke Brooks. I don't think removing him suddenly makes us a better team, I just think it makes sense for him and the club to part ways with each other

It's clearly not working. He's not above average, he's just average like I said. I was talking about one scenario in particular where I would pick him last, not saying I'd pick him last in general. There's a couple halfbacks who suck more than he does

 

[GNR4LIFE]

You’ll never get certain posters to support him

He could do a million good things on the field but his 1 mistake will go under the microscope

Rusted on hate.

He could cure cancer, as the saying goes

That’s the thing. You aren’t the first to claim he’s our only problem. But he’s the one we hear about the most. Don’t hear much about the others.

Plenty of players cop criticism - Brooks cops it more because he's on big money, in the most important position on the field and every single season, the club talks him up as our leader and in control of the team

Might be the first off season ever where they haven't just licked his boots incessantly. If they come out and say he's the main guy and he doesn't live up to it, he'll cop it

Horseshit.
Nofo is crap
Tamou is crap
Brooks is in charge of leading this team around. That's what a 7 does.
He flops around then puts up a useless bomb that neither is deep enough nor allows any pressure. Just tell jacko to do the general kicking and organising and Luke to run and chime in. Let's try that, something different.
Ppl blame it on the forwards but if I was a prop and saw that lame end of sets everytime, you'd question why bother hey?

It comes with the territory of being in a poor team. The next guy wiIl cop it too, cos there is only so much a halfback can do with the rabble he’s been apart of most of his career.

So if we signed cronk, he would add nothing to the team?

 

[Geo]

Well now it would be mind numbing Captain Obviousism..

Back then Coops would never sign with a struggling team...not in his nature..Rorters or Queensland..sure..

 

[Patty2005]

Is it too late to vote no?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Is he available?

If a miracle happened and he did, my argument was he would drastically improve the team.
Who tries something for 8 years and if it doesn't work, keeps trying?
I dont think Luke is a shit player, he's just not the fit for us as history has shown

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I think Hastings will complement Brooks better than douhie, douhie can fill the centre or lock role

 

[PJ_]

Is he available?

Yes. Would he improve the team?

And you're happy to continue with Luke as our half?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

for this year yes see how we go with Hastings and decide end of 2022

Disagree .. I think he’s shit !
Diabolical kicking game
Non existent passing game
Not what you want from a $850k player
Punt him .
