Brooks Bashers Bore Me

the amount of times Simpkin went himself when the halves demanded the ball shit me. I used to have a lot of time for him previously but I’m starting to think he just doesn’t have the tools to cut it in the NRL

Only thing he should be starting is
a hobbit colony with Brooksey 😆
 
Now you're speaking in WHAT IFS

Next 7 could be a genius and tear games to shreds.
Just because Brooks couldn't do it, doesn't mean the next man can't.
No halfback no matter how good would overcome the ineptitude of the Wests Tigers squad. Brooks played an 8/10, I doubt a 10/10 would have even got us over the lowly Warriors.
 
You don’t watch the games mate. He’s literally the only spark we have and if his teammates could catch he wins us the game.
Watched it twice bud .. he did some ok stuff but sucked ass in the final ten
No what we need … punt him

Better than ok mate, he put tries on platters. Others weren’t good enough.

Why aren’t you into Noff and Laurie for the tries they let in? Laurie for the tries he bombed late. Noff and Musgrove for schoolboy errors when Brooks was in control of the game. I get it you hate him.
 
The problem is in this instance this narrative isn't true. He was good. He played at pace and created opportunities.

In my opinion Brooks problem is that he cannot play like he did yesterday consistently and when there are big moments in games he often goes missing. He is a quality role player in a quality team.

We need him to be a great player and he isn't.
Of course it is true.
He was creating stuff and was not being rewarded due to team mates and officials.
Then when the opportunity presented itself to be rewarded, he was a ghost. His contribution during the sin bin was pathetic.

The whole side played really frantic in that period of the game, brooks included.

Should we have been chasing points though? or should the team have already put the Warriors away off some of the chances created earlier? Laurie also bombed a 3 on 2 in that period by dropping it cold.

That's why it's so important to weed out the bad eggs.

Which I believe we have been doing.

Few more to go.

Laurie was deadly for the Warriors.
 
That loss is on him more than any game on one player I think I’ve seen. Similar to Peachey last week.
Totally agree, just believe he needs a quick switch up - at this stage, too much show and no go - because we can’t afford another game like that.

Reserve grade, work on support play and confidence. He was really good last year.
 
Brooks received the ball 60 times and Tigers completed 33 sets. So what are you talking about?

The wildly differing opinions about Brooks is caused by confirmation bias. Also I think that there is a certain type of person that feels better when they rant and blame someone, it doesn't have to be true, but they feel better.

You hobbo1, only see what you want to see. If Brooks was as bad as you think he is, why has he played 174 first grade games? Why do other teams want to buy him (now and in the past)? Why does he get paid an unknown but very large amount of money?

The choices are:-
1. hobbo1 knows far more than all the people that run and coach NRL clubs
2. hobbo1 is wrong about Brooks, and does not see reality when he/she watches a game.

I'm pretty sure its number 2.
I’m pretty sure Brooks is number 2 💩
