If he was playing in a different position there would not be this conversation. The fact is, he is playing in one of the most important positions on the field and it is part of his repertoire that he seems to not have the ability to do. I think if we look across the rest of the teams they all have talkers and organisers in those key positions.

I get you, but knocking a guy at his mates wedding ? That's LOOOOOOW. Just say brooks is a poor communicator, or for the Bogans, he's a shit talker, the rest is just nasty.

And apparently that reality gives little people like you the misguided justification to say things, that say far more about you than him.
Isn’t it funny when people who spend half their lives on a ‘fan’ forum talk sh!t about those actually doing the things at a level that they themselves never (and only dream they) could.
Yes he’s an introvert and that generally doesn’t work for a halfback. Not sure if he has photo of (insert nominee) with a goat or not, but fair to say he’s being asked (and payed a lot) by his employer to wear the 7.
AND MORE TO THE POINT, I’d bet my left AND right that little old you wouldn’t say any of this sh!t to his face, for obvious reasons.
Moral of the story.
Work it out 👍

Even if you pay me $1m, I will still be incapable of running 100m in under 10 seconds. Cos I'm fat, 65 with a gouty knee. Herzberg's Hygiene factors apply - it's a business model reality:
  • pay. If you don't pay enough I won't play enough.
  • quality of supervision. The coach & staff must be top-notch
  • company rules. The culture must be squeaky clean.
  • physical working conditions. COE is in place!
  • co-worker relationships. Oil & water don't mix! e.g. Hastings Bateman!
  • job security. 4 year deal for 28-year-olds!

Hygiene factors, according to Herzberg, cannot motivate employees but can minimize dissatisfaction, if handled properly. In other words, they can only dissatisfy if they are absent or mishandled. So as long as the Weststigers Admin has all the hygiene factor ducks lined up correctly we ought to be OK in 2023 and beyond.

Thanks for pointing to Herzberg's Hygiene factors.

We have definitely got many of these wrong:
Physical working conditions -- Many have said our grounds Sucked. Not an Anasta fan, but he did say "hey I want some tape to tape my injuries and none is around". Seriously? Our grounds needed a huge overhaul and this has been lacking.

Some we got right:
Co-worker relationships. We have tried to put players with like players. I.e. Laurie and Naden. Sometimes this hasn't paid off Mats and Packer for example. Yet when it works it works well.
Company rules -- Honestly we have cleaned out the grubs and don't seem to be getting stupidity in our ranks like St George, Bulldogs and Manly are getting.

some are more of a fine balance:
Job security, we want players to belong to be part of the club. Yet we don't want them to feel TOO secure. I.e. Russell Packer style.
Too much pressure and we end up with a Chris Sandow, Brett Kimmorley, Pearce or any number of league halfbacks trying to force a play that isn't happening.
