Brooks and Madden should be the halves going forward. Hastings to the forwards.

Brooks should be moved the hell on. Hastings, madden and Doueihi are all better options in the halves.

Based off last night? Brooks was fine overall. Hastings is way too slow for the halves
Not enough good FG players to go around and some teams under the rules of a fair salary cap monopolize them. When clubs have money to spend and are forced to spend cap on players that are overvalued while other teams get the best players for less not sure how fans expect a club in our position to compete. Blaming indivuduals for our situation just keeps supporting a system that favours some ahead of others.
More nonsense.
You don't get it by now ?
9 YEARS.
We'll see if he's still here next year.
Based off all season so far. I don't care if he's slow, he can actually kick a footy
Brooks was invisible the whole game, took a back seat to Madden. Finally started taking responsibility later on and he dropped the footy, kicked it dead then gave away the crucial penalty to get titans downfield
Brooks quite literally did nothing last night. He gets paid $800k+ a year and that's what he puts up? Disgraceful. Playing like a man who wants nothing to do with the club.
Blows my mind that you can be happy with what he put out there last night.

Team instructions. If Madden is the organiser, feed him the ball.

With all that speed Brooks has he has made 1 tackle break and 0 line breaks in 4 games. Hastings has done more than that in half the games this year so far.
Speed is useless if you don't have the IQ to use it.

SEN RADIO Matty Johns and Andrew Webster saying the rumours are strong that once AD is back Brooks will be off to the Bulldogs in a swap with Thompson.

Brooks' is shadow of what he could have been. Time to move on.
My solution..
If the rumour's are true and we are after Nikora and Pala we need to upgrade this to URGENT on the To Do List before other clubs jump in and pounce.. Us fans needs something to smile about.
- Move Brooks on as he has had plenty of opportunities - If we wait too long other clubs won't want him - If was had a top 7 last night we win that game and weather its confidence or skill its just time to move on
- Move Danie L to 6 until AD is back
- Hastings to 7
- Sign Drinkwater as fullback to see how he goes
- We need to add Starford To'a somewere in this team
- Drop Peachey as what he does is just not acceptable from a LEADER .. WTF
If the rumour's are true and we are after Nikora and Pala we need to upgrade this to URGENT on the To Do List before other clubs jump in and pounce.. Us fans needs something to smile about.

Sack coach
Based off last night. Madden is finally showing the fans what it’s like to have a half that can kick a ball well.
Brooks just doesn’t have that power in his kicks for whatever reason.
I feel we will see a Madden, Doueihi halves pairing by seasons end.
TBH I have been a Madge fan for a while now and still believe the players need to pull the finger out BUT I am starting to think a fresh face in here might actually help and help attract some players.. Our Defense last night was pretty good and lost off a bad bounce but the attack was terrible and maybe the coach is not helping in that area..
This rumour makes no sense. They can’t even fit in their most recent recruit ‘Ryan Sutton’

I think for everyone involved it is time for Brooks to move on. I have been in the "keep" camp, but think it is time, for him as much as us.
Daine was okay in the fullback spot last night. I would keep him there. I think Madden and Hastings are worth a shot. I like what Madden is showing so far.
I would target Savage from the Raiders, instead of Drinkwater. Pure speed and will be cheaper. Won't offer the versatility that Drinkwater would, but it would be nice to have a speed man again.
To'a should be somewhere in the team, just not sure where. I think our 1 to 5 were alright last night. I can see him being our 18th for a while, filling any of the back 5 as needed.
I wouldn't drop Peachey from the team, but I would like to see just Hastings as the captain when he is back from his suspension. Have a leader group, but just one captain, him.

Yes. We are in a state of inertia. This needs to happen.
