Luke Brooks #167

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!
It’s a new era with the sheens/Benji combination, we have a new pack and I am hopeful and trying to be positive.

Are the Sheens/Benji combination “top shelf”?
I agree the new pack will help him. No hiding or blaming others now…

One thing we can all agree on is that no matter what you think of brooks, he's a better rugby league player than he is a interviewee. Atrocious: boys are having fun, that's what it's all about, it's been Good. Yeah umm.

It's those communication skills that's the reason why he's such an atrocious halfback. He lacks basic speaking skills which means our team is always rudderless when he's halfback as it's the halfbacks job to direct and game manage

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.

The level of irony in this post is on another dimension.
 
I was really hoping Brooks would move on not because I think he is rubbish, just because I don't think he can improve at this club while ever there is this belief that its what's a around him that always needs fixing. I'm convinced he believes it, and why wouldn't he - we have fed it to him for years. It's almost like he is still treated like a rookie when he is the senior player of the club - trying to lure Moses for extortionate money to play in the position he has owned here - why?
He is not going to get any faster one of his best assets, is now having hamstring issues and it stands to reason that he will become more susceptible to injury. He is mostly a brave defender - to his credit has saved more than one try through solid D - but his ability to react to what is happening around him seems challenged at the best of times, and yet some will try and convince you he is an instinctive player and is crueled by structured play.
I championed him for years and will always praise him when I think he has done well - but he has got the pack now - he needs to own his performance good and or bad. Surely has to be the make or break season.
