Shows how ridiculous this club can be.
A halfback who wears the number 7 but can’t actually play halfback.
Zero between the ears.
Had to have Hastings to do his job in attack…and yet we pay him a $million out of our cap. 🤡

If it wasn't so embarrassing it would be funny how the Brooks haters carry on. Nearly all them to a man continually attack those who either support Brooks, or at least see some merit in him staying with personal attacks while claiming its the Brooks "lovers" that carry on and continue the constant debate and dribble.

Their hate has made them dillusional. A couple keep it semi measured like Demps and 851. Can't really think of any other poster that hates Brooks that is remotely reasonable and not disgusting in their constant vitriol.

This may be the case but this side needs to learn aggression (Klemmer) and attitude/ will to win (Bateman). We are a powder puff side at present. Wouldn’t scare most NSW Cup teams.

This is exactly the same stuff that got said when we signed Tamou re leadership, attitude etc. We need players who are good now, not ones who used to be good and have magical abilities to transfer their mental skills to others.

In saying that, if we get him cheap I think Klemmer might still have something to offer as a player. I wouldn't expect him to be amazing but he might be better than some of what we've got. All indications are pointing to Bateman being finished. Classic small back rower: dynamic in their mid 20s but for goodness' sake don't end up stuck with them in their 30s.

Hastings is more important to the team than Brooks.

Evidence: this season from Hastings & most seasons from Brooks other than his undeserved half-back of the year meme and debut game.

As Orwell pointed out, history can be and often is rewritten to suit the needs of the present.

Regardless if it's backended or not. It's still a mill and change out of the pocket. You can't justify he's worth that.
If he had won a dally m and took us to the finals and this was the end of his contract before retiring and were paying for loyalty, that's fine.
But we're not and he's not

2024 deal will be like 650k 700k per year
 
I'm not an AD fan at 6 but if he is signed at 6 I expect 600k or 650k minimum.
Hope if he signs it is at centre for 475 or 500k
think dolphins will get desperate and sign AD or he may go to rugby

You don't like him at all?
He was coming back from a decent injury last year and looked underdone. I expect him to have a big year this year after the Lebos win the World Cup. If he doesn't, then he can bugger off with his little mate. I'm over carrying players that don't perform.

Brooks has been as much a victim of the rubbish this club has dealt out for years as any one. But in saying that his game has not developed to the level that was predicted/ anticipated and unless there is some significant strengthening of the squad there is nothing to suggest that next year wont be more of the same.
If he is not interested in extending his contract beyond next year - as some rumours have suggested - I don't see the value in not making it happen for next year.

Name me one halfback you would replace him with prior to season 2022
