TEAM LIST Wests Tigers Team v Newcastle Knights..

[BAGNF05]

I get if people think he has run his race at our club. No doubt that can be argued. But look at Billy Walters last week. Looked like a different player. You will never convince me that Brooks wouldn’t go to a new level if he went to another club. He loves this club though, and if he has it his way I think he’ll see out his career here. He’ll never reach the heights he‘s capable of as a result.

The Brooks debate will continue to rage and it’s in part due to an overemphasis on what a halfback’s role is. People just go off what they hear in commentary.

People say they want Brooks to provide ‘direction’ like he is producing a movie. Well we don’t have that many Leonardo DiCaprio‘s out there so he’s out of luck there.

Others want him to be an ‘organiser’ like he’s meant to tell 12 other guys their job on each and every play. Well that’s actually the role of the head coach and support staff in their sessions and meetings through the week.

The best word that can actually be used to describe a halfback’s role in my opinion is probably a ‘conductor’. You can influence the flow of the game but ultimately those around you need to be at their best for the overall success. And I don’t know that much about music but if the people playing the instruments are just bad, your conductor isn’t going to change anything.

Sheens, get some bloody musicians.

Tamou ruled out. Twal prop and mikaele onto the bench.

Edit... Madden cut, assume Brooks good to go.

People are trying to separate Brooks from the rest of the team. He competes on every play, his execution can be poor. I’d say the very same thing about Jimmy Maloney.

With the obvious exception that every team Jimmy played in became better due to his influence.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Hopefully he doesn't become another blore

a myth ?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Tamou apparently out tomorrow

Tamou apparently out tomorrow

If that happens, I hope they bring in Starford Toa onto the bench in any reshuffle.

They brought Mikaele in..
🤷‍♂️

 

[tiger_one]

They brought Mikaele in..
🤷‍♂️

Oh well, another day, another opportunity.
I read somewhere that Mikaele killed it in reserves last week, but Toa against his old club woul have been good too.

I read reports on here from people at the game saying Mikaele was terrible....

😅

 

[Cobarcats]

The hoodie madge is wearing in the coach interview today looks really good

They're designed to take attention away from balding men, I might get one 🤔

 

[cktiger]

You say that like Hastings is a star whose played 20 Origin games. He’s got more to prove than Brooks does.

9 years as a loser isn't much to beat.

9 years as a loser isn't much to beat.

At a club that have been losers 19 out of 22

 

[cktiger]

That’s because you’ve always watched Brooks play with losers (since Tedesco left when he was being touted as an origin halfback)

Good players make players around them look good.
Says a lot about Brooks.

So what?
You said Hastings has more to prove than him.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

So what?

He does

 

[cktiger]

He does

Blah, blah, blah.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Blah, blah, blah.

Mate, you are providing a sound argument that he doesn’t.

 

[Demps]

Jacko has already outplayed Brooks.

Brooks going to have a hectic game tomorrow though, has to impress his future employer.

 

[Demps]

Another great poster.

Two guys who aren't even playing.
