Bad foot injuries can do that to you,especially if you havent decent depth to replace Hastings while he is sidelined...
Yeah and think the coach situation has rattled him too.

Who cares !even so they know they have us over a barrel, they lowball and offer 300k and we have to pay 800k it's ridiculous
Yes, what gives? It often seems like the club have this focus to demotivate players?What happens when the next halves are swallowed by the lack of quality in the team - And the ones after that....
Hastings is already feeling the full effects of the Wests Tigers 7 - He come back from suspension all guns blazing and has looked almost lost since....
Nah nah forget about the Knights.Seriously though? It’s blatantly obvious that the club now wants to slyly nudge Brooks under the Knight’s noses. But why now? Perhaps the deal didn’t balance?
He will look like a $m and probably help Magpies get the win over the Knights?
I speculate it’s part of the plan for him to move on. First Madge then brooks.I honestly don’t understand the Brooks dropping?
I would like to think it is, but we are talking about the Wests Tigers, not a professional or successful club like the Panthers, Roosters or StormI speculate it’s part of the plan.
Jesus Christ couldn't get the best out of him, Benji made him look good he is useless.
BAGS, what concerns me with a Brooksless Tigers, is the score could blow out? I know our last 2 games vs Warriors have been close, but without the defensive work Brooks does?Our forwards will still get beaten up and the new halves pairing will look clueless too.
Truly?I honestly don’t understand the Brooks dropping?
He need to do alot of things. Needs to take less of the ball for one thing.Hastings has been okay. Since the Souths game, teams have figured him out and are defending him a lot better. He hasn't developed his game since then. Needs to target the space behind the markers more.
He should have gone to Roosters with TeddyTruly?
He has Skills, Speed and I love his defence.
He simply needs to play for a better team,

His defence is decent but we can't justify having a half playing just for his defence. Remember alot of the defence we are doing is because of bad last tackle options/repeat sets.BAGS, what concerns me with a Brooksless Tigers, is the score could blow out?

Brooks does more than 20 tackles per game, and always 2 or 3 of those are try savers. It’s his speed which gets him to the ball runner most of the time.

The fact he's on even more money next year makes it important for him to go. If we have to pay 33% then so be it. That is alot of money still saved.
If Brooks gets dumped then Nofo will se the writing on the wall too.He's on the field...
No one else gets a free pass - Why should he?
Didn't do much in the other previous games either...
And I'm giving him the grace of assuming that other teams haven't worked him out yet - Although... I quietly think they may have.
Swamp the Tigers halves and that's it - Cos the rest of the team is utter garbage and no one else is going to do anything...
Time will tell, New brooms sweep clean - All and sundry here are looking to build the entire squad with Hastings as the centre piece....
Truth is, As it stands - He's had less good games in the NRL than Brooks, And no one really knows what he will be... Or won't be.
Even in the game he won against Parra - Brooks played as good, If not better....
We can't see it like that - Even if we could, We would never admit it (Or remember it)
This speed everyone talks about. When does he ever create a line break? The only positive I see is his defense but you're not paying him a million dollars just to tackle.Truly?

Fuming Wests Tigers officials are investigating 'rats in the ranks' after two damaging stories hit the press in the past 48 hours.
The Tigers are a club in crisis, struggling on the field and yet to find a coach for 2023. And constant leaks to the media are only throwing fuel on the fire.
The first story had under-performing halfback Luke Brooks set to be dropped for the first time in his career, while the the second had utility Tyrone Peachey seeking a release.
"We are sick of stuff coming out of our club into the media all the time," a Tigers source told Wide World of Sports.
"The Brooks situation is far from decided - we don't pick the team for another week and a lot can happen between now and then.
"We have to see what happens in the representative round this weekend and if we lose anyone there for starters.
"As for Peachey, his manager came to us asking to test the market.
"He has been struggling for form so it is something we would consider if another club showed interest."
