Im on board for the epic Sheens and Benji adventure and when / if they start winning games I'll be very happy.

At the end of the day, we all want success.

If these two unlock the enigma that is Luke Brooks I'm sure an apology will be in order - however if they also release him to another club, I wouldn't shed any tears.

If he comes good he needs to spologise to the fans for years of bullshit.
 
Didn't watch, didn't listen, didn't follow this thread. First heard the score an hour after full time. Rather than follow these pea hearts I took my grandson to the beach and had a ball with him. Had more enjoyment with him in five minutes than I've had in five years with these mugs.
These blokes are genuine losers.
 
Why do we have the obligatory hospital pass from a half back on the inside to a second rower each set? The defence always had three lining up waiting to smash the unlucky ball runner today. Then with our pathetic last tackle options we are essentially down to four tackle sets with the first two or three usually non-impact hit-ups by backs. Our best scoring options are off the opposition's mistakes. We would have a top-8 reserve grade team if only we had a reserve grade halfback.
 
Not only Brooks no plays as usual time to move on but also our cup promotions with exception of Pole lacking discipline and game smarts
Matamua cost a try and also let one in and Tupou and Kepoa didn't kick chase and the one time they did tupou was 4 meters offside
Pole ok but Kepoa,Tupou and Matamua not 1st grade standard yet but I think Tupou will make it eventually .
But settle the half's Douehi and Hastings no Brooks in half's please

Well you missed a special moment in the game, we were penalised for failure to feed the ball into the scrum before time was up on the shotclock, and i do not recall any other team pinged for this offence since the rule was brought in, on friday night a team went about 7 seconds past the time & ref just let play go on, but the point is how bad are we really going to get penalised for this when we still could have won the game.

Tigers players are like those dudes you’d pick last on your team in PE class at high school

Most of these players are lucky the tigers exist otherwise they wouldn’t have an nrl career … 3 maybe 4 genuine first graders out of the lot

We really are a dreadful excuse for a football team. The truth is they don't deserve our support. Sadly, there's a big chance Kimmorley has started and ended his NRL coaching career in 2022 and could end his coaching career with zero wins and around 10 losses. Not his fault but that's what happens when you drink from the poisoned chalice.
 
I feel Brooks time is done n dusted. Got mates that dont follow the tigers who think he has had enough chances and just cant control a game and his kicks are shockers. My dad is a dragons fan and n thinks Brooks should be dropped. Every person i know who follows footy cant understand why Brooks is in the 17 each week.
Brooks could of been a great player and really excelled but just cant for some reason with the tigers.
It is time to part ways and hopefully he finds his mojo for himself and his mental health

We have been done for it before. But you are right I regularly see the shot clock run down to well past zero and nothing is done . It's just anther cock up rule that PVL thinks is important.

If Brooks was hungry for the ball like Hastings I think he'd be a good half for us. Always darting through the middle, ball in his hands, distributing this way and that. But Brooks is far too passive for that sort of play, so he ends up in wide positions and he's not really strong enough to threaten defenders out there. Around the middle playing a little like Jahrome Hughes, his speed could be a weapon and forwards wouldn't be able to bunch tackle on our forwards as much because he could expose gaps in the defensive line around the ruck. But he just goes missing in games and doesn't want the ball.

He's been unsuccessfully doing that horrible too fast short ball to forwards for his whole career. I just don't understand things like how he hasn't adjusted that pass.

I think there are better options for our first grade team.

You have watched him closely as I have… he just always takes the wrong option, he has all the skills but no real talent or class under pressure… I’m tired of all the excuses, tha tackle he missed on the bulldogs centre Jacob kyrza not the tryline a few weeks ago was typical of his entire career… he tried but put no real effort into it and got swatted away….
