Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Bones]

God help us if Brooks has more time and space to stuff things up as he usually does over the years. How many years have we told Brooks to run and he goes missing, like him as a good clubman and yes his defense has improved over the years BUT its time to move him on if its a sound decision in our favour

The whole idea about halfbacks needing to run does my head in. It’s like saying you need a winger who scores 3 tries every week to win, which completely ignores the rest of the game you need to get you into that position.

Mitch Moses is the prime example. When Parra are on the front foot Moses runs. When they aren’t we all saw when happened in the GF… nada.

Halfbacks run when the team is going forward and they have space. Otherwise teams would just play 6 halfbacks and get them all to run.

The hate talk of Brooks by some on here is so unbalanced and unreasonable its sickening isn't it. If you point out some positives about him your labelled a fan boy and its believed you death ride anyone who may take his spot. I would be deeply embarrassed to be one of those unreasonable pigs that talk about him the way they do.

Back end of the year showed we have zero attack without him and Hastings.

Evidenced by the fact that he got injured and we still lost every game (badly).

Halves not our issue.

Most important quality is a long, varied and effective kicking game.

You are right but we didn't do much with them either. I don't want to be a downer but there is no way our spine is settled.

Move brooks on. WT will always be 💩 whilst brooks remains with the team.

Its
Attack is all Hastings...Brooks adds nothing .. ,great defender that he may be
and dont even get me started on his kicking game!
Many of us feel Brooks has had more than ample opportunity to make a difference in attack but hasnt delivered,and both parties wld benefit from a fresh start at the Knights or elsewhere

Is Staines coming get the sense something has changed?

Attack is all Hastings

In my opinion he was the best we had at actually creating something for us. He did that at lock as well though.

 

[hank37w]

Sure him missing 5-6 tackles a game makes him a good defender 😂😂. As bad as Doueihi’s defence was even he didn’t get that high on a regular basis.

You've got to get somewhere close to them before it can count as a miss.

Staines - Peachey swap is all systems go.

Alongside 2 current origin front rowers and a former origin second rower? I’m not surprised Klemmer looks good in that pack.

Imagine how he would stand out and how good he would look with a very ordinary pack.

Hastings at 7 is like Brad Arthur naming 13 Jake Arthur's.

Look up who has the most try assists for Wests Tigers past 5 years. It isn't even close. I do agree Hastings is a very important ingredient to the team and Brooks. But to say it's all Hastings and Brooks adds nothing is absurd

If Brooks went to Melbourne 4 years ago he would be better then Jerome Hughes
Just a same he has never had the chance to really shine

How u know mate, may I ask?

Hastings has been here one year and we went 4-20. I think he played okay but anyone claiming he can save us is cracking jokes. We need forwards.

Its the excuses for him that does my head in, no other half in the history of the game, or player for that matter have had as many chances as he has had to be a good player, it's way past time for him to go. He may kick on elsewhere, and I hope he does, so be it, he has had 9 years here to do it and failed, stop the bloody cycle

Will do tomorrow when I get back from holidays.

 

[hank37w]

Maybe it would insure that Brooks kicked it out.
He fluffed a few this year and didn’t find touch.

Would probably still only make 10 metre gain.
