Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

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- top8 side. If people are happy to run with Hastings/AD maybe they are the ones happy to live with mediocrity.

I think even my grandmother may be faster and she's been dead for 20 years (RIP Grandma).

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.

No, what they find hysterical is the club persisting with a 9 year failure while playing a better half out of position. You, batboy and paws really need to get out of your little bubble.

You haven’t even seen AD and Hastings in the halves together so as per usual, you’re talking out of your arse.
 
LOL, some fans : Brooks is the best

Brooks : AD is better than me.


Ooooo but he said his best position is 6...
Yeah I tell my boss all the other workers are better suited to my position too !!

So you’d take that halves pairing over the club actually going out and signing a marquee half? Now you’re the one accepting mediocrity. I actually want to win and I want the club to invest in a player who will help us win. You clearly don’t.

The funny part is that no one is claiming that AD is some saviour. But it’s pretty damn clear for anyone with a functioning brain and eyes that he’s a better half than brooks and the team has looked better with AD at 5/8. By all reports, Brooks own teammates were bewildered that he was named WT player of the year over AD last year. His own teammates!

And there you go again with the strawman. You really are quite dense, aren’t you? Or are you just a liar like your buddy, @pawsandclaws1?

Show me one post where I said that. You won’t because I never said that or even implied that. The argument was AD vs Brooks in a halves pairing with Hastings.

If we could get someone like Munster here, I’d do it in a heartbeat (which I have previously stated btw) but once again, that wasn’t the argument so stop trying to shift the goal posts to avoid embarrassing yourself.

See. Pisses you off doesn’t it.
 
So much raving and ranting by Brooks supporters and opponents and some questioning facts and figures
Brooks has been half for 9 years his salary $900 k 2022 and $1.1 mill 2023
He presides as key playmaker over a team with the worst attack in the nrl
He can run hard and tackle hard but lacks footy IQ his eyes up footy and kicking game is very poor and unless major changes are made nothing is going to get better .
Fact 1 he is by far the highest paid player in the club
Fact 2 the club has been incredibly loyal, to Brooks for years

You keep missing the point - Maybe I should draw you a picture, Some sort of Graph maybe...
I didn't say he was Andrew Johns,

I said he's better than the other options at the club...
Which he is... By some way.

And as many other posters have said....there being no one better is the only thing that has kept Brooks'y here and we haven't been able to grab anyone better unfortunately.
Our Head Coach was a pretty good 1/2 in his time, so how come he hasn't been able to instill at least a small fraction of what it takes to be a good half back.

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

Ok guys we have read enough of the bad conversations and who is better or who is worse.....
I have decided to intervene before we all become enemies and not forum friends...
Firstly i would like to make a suggestion that could be suitable although Im by no means an NRL coach,however,if I was coaching our team and I needed change this is what I would TRY now that we are at rock bottom...
I would try Laurie at 6 alongside Hastings as he did play a bit of 5/8 at the Riff (not sure).
I would put AD at the 1 because I personally think he could roam as does Tedesco(not comparing AD to Teddy just an attempt at something different because AD did play fullback before).
I would play Brooks at centre because he can pass and tackle as well as has speed..
This way we keep our top players on the field and blood some young guys as well..
I honestly think this may work as we have stuff all to lose...

So our spine would be...
1..AD
6..Laurie
7..Hastings
9..NU Brown...

Just a thought ......
