Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

Injuries cause him to throw intercepts and not make contact with the ball when goes to kick it do they?

Didn't Brooks literally miss the ball when he went to kick the ball dead which directly led to Mahoney's try? Not to mention kicking it straight into the opposition.

Given he's likely on over double what Hastings is on, I'm not sure why you're bagging Hastings but defending Brooks.

Reality is they're both out of form. Brooks cops it more because he's been like this for years and is our highest paid player.

So not enough courage to even try and counter any of it.

My counter is that we've had 9 years of brooks playing halfback & he's been shit for 8 of them we need something new & we need a change, brooks is NOT the answer & he never will be. Did you not hear joffa last week? & from your beloved brooks himself? They BOTH AGREE AD is the BEST option we have to play at 5/8.

No it doesn't - He's the best half at the club....
Hastings or Madden aren't outplaying him.

Doueihi has been injured - May be a better option at 6 in the long term...
But he's not outplaying him either.

When they start playing better than Brooks, I'll start calling for them to take his position.
Until then - They best get a wriggle on.

You can repeat that he’s the best half at the club as much as you want. Doesn’t make you any less wrong.

Hastings was outplaying him before ending up in a boot and has been limping since. AD easily outplayed him in the halves last year and was widely considered the best player in the team and has had little opportunity this year because Noddy doesn’t have the balls to drop Brooks. You can deny that all you want but the evidence is there.

I heard - You obviously didn't...
They said "HIS best position is 5/8"

Not that he's the best 5/8 at the club...

Nor you....
There is nothing I've seen on the park to say that anyone has played better than Brooks this year.
Last year, Is moot point - Because Hastings wasn't here.
Hastings is floundering and Brooks is running the team again, If you've not picked up on that the last few weeks - You're a nothing more than a rock that can type.
 
Similarly, Tigers forward Joe Ofahengaue added that Doueihi should play in his preferred position.

“He was our best half last year, he is so dangerous with the ball,” he said. “I think playing in that six or seven role he can float wherever he wants.

“At centre he is held to just one spot and for Doueihi to have an impact on the game, he needs to be everywhere.

“I’m not the coach but that is how I see it. I think he probably sees it the same way.”

And I’d say you’re wrong. If you actually want the club to go and sign a marquee replacement however, then we’re talking. Till then it’s like a couple guys playing poker, going all in on a pair of two’s. @Batmans Parents claims to be an expert on other clubs supporters laughing at ours. They must find it hysterical all this debate about which half in our wooden spoon calibre roster is the best option and that all 3 players have their own cheer squads.

Mate the consensus is that AD & Hastings are our best halves pairing & brooks needs a move away from the club which is what most pundits seem to agree with

Are you saying you've seen enough of AD / Hastings pairing to determine that Brooks / Hastings is a better option?

Of course you wouldn’t acknowledge last year because it showed that when all are healthy, Brooks is not the best half at the club.

You’re correct, Brooks is running the team again. And guess what? We have looked like garbage and we haven’t won a game since round 11. When Brooks was out by the way but I have no doubt you’ll conveniently ignore that.

And you’re nothing more than a ignorant little boy who has his lips so firmly attached to Brooks arse that you can’t see anything else so it’s no surprise you can see nothing else on the field.

You are not a wests tigers fan first. You are a brooks fan boy first and your refusal to acknowledge that AD completely outplayed Brooks the last time he was in the halves full time is just further evidence of it.

how can you say that when they've never played in the halves together?

I’ve seen enough of them separately. Both are slower than my 85 year old grandmother. I actually would like to go out and try and sign a Munster, or hell even Moses. Poaching a half from a top 4- top 8 side. If people are happy to run with Hastings/AD maybe they are the ones happy to accept mediocrity.
