This is not true at all. His kicking errors percentage is on par with pretty much every half in the comp. He kicked the ball dead twice in all of 2022. Out on the full, from memory, twice also, but i can only find one recorded. Again on par with other halves. He has weaknesses. Plenty of them. Happy to debate about his position in our team. But you look the fool repeating obviously false claims.
Some content is clearly filler material taken from his last interview.
i think every Brooks supporter would agree he is overpaid. I dont think it quite as egregious as many state, and the constantly repeating of him getting 'a million a year' distorts the truth but yes, we all agree he is being overpaid.
i dont agree that Doueihi is particularly slow.
For a half, and the 5/8 which i think are interchangable in the modern game, the first 10 to 15 yds are crucial, This is what he lacks, he is awkward to tackle,but sides soon worked that out, his service to the outside was lazy, he tried for himself, and occasionally threw a good pass to the winger,. That sums up AD , BUT I HOPE HE COMES GOOD.
agree with all of that. He is slow in terms of acceleration but his top speed isn't bad. He is a good power runner if you bring him onto the ball, just not going to skip around a defender and accelerate through a gap. Every player has their own limitations, just need to best utilise their strengths.
He definitely tries. That would be a positive?
Mate are you kidding, Andrew Johns would take one look at our roster and spit on the ground. If you ever watched how competitive he was when he played he couldn’t stand stupidity on the field. And that’s what we’ve dished up constantly in Pascoe’s reign. Joey would last one game at Wests Tigers and throw his boots in a dumpster. Brooks has had very little help for years. We were never ever making finals, look at the bookmakers odds every year. It’s not the halfback.
Well the club has given him one more year. If he steps on his dick this year I think he will be ESL or dolphins bound
Well him teammates certainly did. He was Player's player
Pfft. Andrew Johns won a comp with Sean Rudder as his 5/8 who was basically a park footballer
No mention of the international hooker, forward pack and outside backs 😂
"Andrew Johns would take one look at our roster and spit on the ground."
Andrew Johns made them look good and helped them become better players, if the Tigers go well this year it'll all be down to the talented experienced forwards coming into a team with a decade long proven failure at halfback and them doing it themselves, not Brooks doing it for them.
Fingers and toes crossed
Sorry bud but that’s just looking at things through tainted glasses! So what your saying is he was lucky? Lucky 4 times in the NRL, please! What about all the great coaches that have come out in the modern game, that he had coached. Is he perfect, no. If your really talking about luck look no further than Maguire, one premiership of a star studded wabbit team that was just fat and lazy. He got them fit, then they won the comp. Never to be repeated again. One time is luck, not four!
That is true, and the facts don’t lie. But how many times have we played in the semis since sheens has left???????
Unfortunately you just described why Brooks deserves the criticism.
Again, that is not correct. Take the time to read the Sheens' interview on Brooks. Sheens and no doubt Marshall want him post 23 on a deal similar to the Chris Lawrence contract.
of course they are going to say that and of course they would want him beyond 2023 publicly however, I cannot see them signing him if he doesn’t perform this year. The only caveat I will put on that is if they cannot land a better 7 they may keep him at a significantly reduced rate. Having said all of that if I was LB and this year doesnt work out I would pack my bags and leave.
