Problem is when he played lock he was also playing halfback in attack.
Personally think he was much better as a halfback than Brooks has ever, or ever, will be based on giving the team direction and possessing footy smarts.
Those spouting losing stats are the same blokes making every excuse in the world that it isn’t Brooks fault whenever the same thing comes up in relation to him.
It’s obvious Sheens didn’t want Hastings and gave him an out to play in a position he preferred for a lot more money.
We’ll soon see if that was the correct decision.
That’s the way I saw it. Doueihi wore the 6, but looked like a centre for most of the game, while Brooks wore 7 but looked like a 6. I thought at the time it was a work in progress and could get better, but in hindsight I’m thinking Hastings May have been unhappy to be moved to 13 while he was auditioning for a contract at 7.
Here’s a stat...both Brooks and Hastings have kicked winning FG while wearing 7.
