ADs not my hero.
One of my favourite players though.

I don't think anyone is expecting him to lead the team to victory but a performance to be proud of is something we can expect.

I'd say he's an immense player with so much talent compared to Luke Brooks though.

You're not female man, You can't go having a selective memory like that....

Expecting a performance to be proud of?
Is that just sometimes or all the time?
- Some of his performances last year, I was embarrassed for his whole family they were that bad...

 

[batboy]

Don't forget Jesse Parahi.

Jesse actually went Ok in ressies....
Wasn't a bad defender from memory.

Just got a shot to go back to 7's that he couldn't ignore...
And we were short on cash so we let him go.

Yeah handful of bad ones.
Compared to Brooks' years of bad ones.

He seemed to had gone up a gear for the WC.
Can say the opponents been trash but prior to the send off in the NZ game - he was good.

They're playing Aus mate, it's going to be very hard for em.

I hope he's fit and in the right frame of mind. He's not blessed with speed, he's a power player and I hope he gets an opportunity to show that is a definite attribute.

Brooks is gone bro....
He won't be here for you to automatically deflect to next year
😬😬😬

Australia will be primed.... Hope your men don't get too schooled.

Sorry Demps, but can't agree. Brooks has been dissapointing, i agree. So is AD. Kicking games, pass selection are both poor. Brooks has the speed to keep up with the play, AD flounders, Brooks is a good head on defender, AD is not, Very little between them when paying lower club sides, when playing against Cleary, Munster, Evans etc . they will run around him , or over him.

It’s a typo mate, it should say $1.86 billion.

After tax?

 

[tony soprano]

True. No information coming from the club.

A lot to play out

2004 Bulldogs maybe? Won the Premiership with Brent Sherwin and Bwaith in the halves. I don't think either of them were that quick (or even that good!)

Sherwin was in a purple patch very good player miss origin because of injuries and Young Bwaith was very good and had a great step could break a tackle and was not slow a poor mans Brad Fitter

Yeah, it could get ugly man.
I'll wake up early and watch tho.

All fair but I'd argue we haven't seen as much from AD as we have from Brooks.

Break out year 2023 or else it might be time to give up.

Argument could also be made that Brooks poor games / moments in games are well over scrutinized whilst his better to good games or moments are completely overlooked.

Do you know if Brooks was at training at all or hanging around the new guys ?

 

[Camel2281]

See how your hero goes against the ROOs on the weekend.

Who's my hero? I want Hastings at 7. I'm just a realist and Brooks is a terrible halfback. Doesn't organise or communicate and takes the wrong option nearly every time, he is just too dumb to improve

He's gone bra.
Some one else's problem.

AD time to shine or he can go to.
We want success.
Team comes first.

He won't be back till next month.... (If at all)
Longer they been playing, The longer holidays they get.

Don't know , don't care.

The guys had his chance & has never delivered.
Time for him to step aside.

I hope he can live up to the hype here.....
You boys aren't making that easy (or achievable even)
