*Live Game Thread* Round 18 VS Penrith

You are part of a clique against Brooks. I don't care because it makes your comments irrelevant to me. Hastings to 13 was a roaring success and I bet you will see coaches now reviewing that function in their teams. I see the team transitioning to the way it will play under Sheens and Marshall. Lots to like out there today including the performance of Tupou, Kepaoa, Pole and yes Matamua. Doueihi was good in parts and I like him as a player. We need all three players in our team which I'm sure has always been a part of Sheens' plan. The effort was there and I cannot ask much more than that.

Roaring success because he returned to th÷ half-back role.

Still lost.

Brooks = 🚫

God you post some shit .. even Brandy said Hastings to 13 was a dud move ..
Has Brooks fed that scrum yet ??

Maybe. I think that showed Brooks is not the best option for us in the halves. I'd play Brooks in reserves unless Hastings or Doueihi stuff up.

I said it before and but I'll make it clearer. I think we win if we played a middle forward in the 13 spot instead of Hastings and Brooks wasn't in the team.

The only valid argument I see is that it was one game but that argument is the same as stating Doueihi has been ordinary this year.

The only position I'd consider Brooks is fullback but Laurie performed as good as Brooks would.

I think we should bite the bullet and drop Brooks.

totally agree with you Earl but we both know that wont happen under the current regime

Demps, you will need to get with the programme. What you or I write on this forum is irrelevant. All three imo are part of a much larger plan Sheens and Marshall have for a new WTs' team.

I've said multiple times the past few days I'm aware those fools love Brooks.

He has some illusion over them and people like you, which I cannot understand. Glamoured into this fake narrative he's great. Which anyone who watches the game can see he hasn't been and for a very long time.

Brooks is a burden and anyone claiming otherwise better get use to further failure.
 
Keeping it simple Brooks might do some things good or might do some things bad, but he considers himself a half, But I will say what i am 100% convinced from watching every game he has played for the wests tigers he cannot kick he has no touch can’t place the bull In spots that are an advantage to the team it’s like he has depth perception problems or something place the ball in the ingoal with a grubber, a floating chip on the goal line … something !! And for any argument that AD was just as bad or Hastings was just as bad the sample size isn’t there so I’ll hold judgment on them until I see more, Brooks has had game after game he can’t kick and that a big attribute that you pay a half big money for.

Do you not realise what you say carries no more relevance than his supporters? Every week for God knows how long you have claimed it was the end of the road, yet he still gets named the next week. You keep talking to yourself about how things will be till the cows come home, but nothing appears to be changing in the immediate future.

His job is to create those opportunities. Douehi did and Hastings did as well.

The game I watched Brooks played on the left Douehi on the right and Hastings played like a convential 7 on both sides. Brooks I thought did create some opportunities on the left and Douehi scored a try and had some nice runs on the right. Just a thought though maybe Douehi with his big body at 13, Hastings at 7 and Brooks at 6.

If you paid attention instead of gloating about your fame, you would see I have stated I am under the belief Sheens and Benji will continue with this stupidity as they're also fans and will back themselves to get the best out of him.....

Probably hinder out roster beyond belief and ruin further chances of many more wins.

It's mind boggling that we have to have these discussions and he wasn't stamped out of our roster years ago... but alas, I'm all in on the team and will continue to be vocal about poor performances, holding these guys accountable. No matter who the player.

Then if thats the case, and you know he’s in Benji and Sheens plans, do yourself a favour and just put it aside and don’t let it eat you up.

I'm on top of the world 🌎

As I told that guy the other night.
I'm here for the footy and the banter.

... and some laughs.

Every time Brooks is named in the 17 I both laugh and cringe at the disregard of logic behind it.

My view on Brooks is irrelevant. He is part of plans for the future. If you don't believe me read Sheens' comments.
