Luke Brooks #167

Nice sarcasm, not. He does have some blame, but how much of his poor performances are from pathetic coaching. Stop cherry picking your argument, just saying he’s with us for the next season at least. Let’s back him with the new coaching team and the new pack and not death ride our players and team for a change!!! From the usual forum death riders, just look at the people on the likes of the above quote, same same…

Yep, just back him like the other 3 eras in his 10 year nothing career that he had complete changes of coaches and players and produced nothing. Im sure the 4th turn over will work out peachy.

Maybe, maybe not! We will soon find out, I don’t think we need to death ride him. I agree he hasn’t performed for a long while.
But our coaches since and including Cleary haven’t been exactly top shelf, and have ever played to Luke’s strengths! I think with the repeated comments from these coaches ‘it’s Luke’s team’ show more about them then Luke!
It’s a new era with the sheens/Benji combination, we have a new pack and I am hopeful and trying to be positive. It would be nice if we all could back the team rather than death ride them for a change. But carry on if that makes u guys happy…

Like supporting an inadequate half back playing in the NRL, death riding a team that youre supposedly the mightiest Avenger, i mean fan of, to accept the team continually losing knowing the direct link as to why the side hasn't made the finals in this players entire career as the playmaker of the team yet wanting this said player to stay in the team that over the last decade has produced many more losses than wins, death riding like that? Nah thanks, i prefer to support a team thats actively trying to win, thats how i show support, not happy death riding the team to lose like some.

"Maybe, maybe not! We will soon find out, I don’t think we need to death ride him. I agree he hasn’t performed his entire career with the exception of that 1 game on debut"

Fixed it.

Yes, I get the frustration. For too long Brooks has been given every excuse under the sun and more for performing at a very sub par level for the NRL, however this year is it. Put up or shut up, the bloke has run out of excuses. He either takes the team to the 8 this year or their should be no single fan still backing him. There is no justification with a forward pack like the Tigers now have that it doesn't make the 8.....unless Brooks plays the way he has always played, Poor.

Marshall and Sheens back him. Fans aren't part of the decision making.

if you do "support" the Tigers then I am sure Brooks as our 7 in 2023 can expect your full support

doesn’t answer the question why the hate for a player that the coaches obviously like. Oh I get it you know more than them

This is like talking to a religious cult, Are you suffering from Stockholm syndrome? blink twice if youre in trouble.

"why the hate for a player" - Luke might be the nicest gnome since Dave the gnome but that has nothing to do with the absolute embarrassing filth he has dished up on the park for a decade which is the direct reason this team has never made the finals. The complete lack of a kicking game, mediocre hospital passing game and the inability to ever control or take a game by the scruff of the neck which is the absolute bog standard for an elite athlete in his position to do has been proven with a decade of the Tigers not making the finals. Your fan club has zero receipts except the mantra "this will be the year" You've been banging on with that for his whole 10 year career. When he finally retires with zero finals appearances what will be the excuses then? The next year threat is taken away from you. You're obviously happy with it but I'm not apologising for wanting my team to be a wining team, and it starts with a different number 7. Period.

Now you answer, whats the name of your other accounts?

Nice rant it appears that you do know more than them so my apologies. We are lucky to have you.
By the way when did I say I was a Brooks supporter. I just asked why did you hate him.
Also your timing is just a little bit off because he is not going anywhere.
Please don’t cheer if he does some good stuff on the field cause that would make you a hypocrite.
