Hopefully it will be Tim and Benji finally turn Brooks into a gun.

Agreed - Mby on $70k on the way he played
Until Madden becomes the new Thurston, I'm happy with this decision. Good luck to him. Like others have said he'll get to work on his game under Reynolds.

It was really around then that the rot started to set in. There is something seriously wrong there considering some of the talent they have.
The moment they announced Walsh it started to go backwards for them.
Heard G Alexander say N Cleary spent the whole time he was suspended watching himself on tapes looking at how he could improve his game and working on it at training. His competiveness and will to win is evident every time he plays.
If Brooks is to improve his game it will come down to him putting in the time and effort to address his weaknesses and work on them.
That is not to say that if we continue to get smashed up the middle that any of that will make a difference to our results.

@Telltails - I think basically all of our players need to work on their games a lot. Brooks is far from the only one.
No doubt about that. But he is also in a pivotal position. If we are to ever achieve anything it will have to revolve around him being the best he can be. If Sheens and Benji are backing him - as it seems - then he needs to work on the weaknesses in his game that have been identified by all and sundry - and they need to provide a pack that gives him something to play behind. He has got one of the best DH's in the game coming - that's a start.

I thought this too…but…Reynolds is closer to retirement than Cleary. He’s got a much better shot at first grade at Brisbane than at Panthers.

Sounds like Cleary took a leaf out of the Cooper Cronk playbook.

He is close mates with Billy Waters and he will learn more in month hanging around Reynolds than a couple of years at the Tigers. Reynolds will also spent around 10 games on the sidelines. Smart move by Madden

You are right but I honestly think Brooks can't be the key player in the team. He isn't that guy and he shouldn't be under that pressure.
Laurie, Brooks, and Doueihi really need to up their games. Hastings is critical as well. I think he is the most critical with the least to work on whereas the other three are really important with a lot more to work on.
It will always be about Brooks whether he likes it or not Earl - that isn't going to change while ever he is at the club. Winning will be the only thing that will take pressure of him and his contribution will always be critiqued more than most.
Knights still after Brooks.

Actually Brooksy, just thinking on your use of posterity, doesn’t really make sense. But then again, neither does how you play. 😏
Arriba!

Munster is no chance to end up at Wests Tigers . Zero … Dylan Brown is maybe a possibility and I’d love him to sign .. he’s an amazing footballer and apparently as good a person as you will find ..
You don’t forget how to play, he’s 23. Train and trial I agree, and with informed , drug testing . I see he’s kept pretty fit and strong. Within about 10 minutes waking into the club, he would be a walk up start. Just a thought.
