Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

Yes. Would he improve the team?

Not at 38 years old and not having played NRL for 3 years.

Are you being an idiot deliberately?

 

[PJ_]

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

Agree with some of that.
Especially the last bit.
There is some talent in their somewhere. We have got [This word has been automatically removed] all return on our investment so it's fair time 2 go

If you wanna give me a modern example like a Cleary or A-Rey. But that’s not going to happen. We have to make do with the Luke Brooks, Adam Clune’s and Chad Townsend’s of the world.

@GNR4LIFE the question was would cronk make the team better.
Would another genuine halfback make the team we have at the moment better?
Would we win more games? Would we play finals?

Kenny Bromwich has a better short kicking game than Brooks 😂

Not whether it would happen or not. Whether it would make the team better is what i was asking?

Might improve somewhat, but it’s not going to be significant. Look at Reynolds. Second best 7 in the game, but I still don’t think he will lead the Broncos into the 8.

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

Ok 👍

Good halfbacks can turn teams around.
Luke isn't.

The point is though, you asked if I think one would turn us around. So when I look at the Broncos, who have a stronger roster than we do, I still can’t see Reynolds leading them to the 8. Cleary probably would. I don’t think our roster would be strong enough for either of them.

I reckon both of those guys would improve us to top 8.
Problem with the broncs is they have a shit coach.

Agreed. He’s like a glorified care taker.

I think we would make the 8 a few times with cronk in our side instead of brooks

 

[Tiger-ferret]

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

Who will we sign who is better for this season?

 

[PJ_]

Kings back Rd 8 I think. Hastings to 7.
Brooks has had his chance

 

[PJ_]

Would even prefer Laurie and Hastings in the halves, someone who can catch at fullback and the king at centre.
I do think ADs best position is 6 tho.

Lot of Kings in Lebanon I take it..

I’d take 38 year old Cronk for sure. Way more game awareness.
