The game is getting bigger and he seems to be getting smaller. Wasn’t a fan of the signing but hope he comes out plays above his weight and proves me wrong.

I think he has always been that player that pushes above his weight but in that photo he looks severely underweight. Get him on the dirty bulk
 
But why is he underweight? You have to think, 'well, that's a bad start', when the player you signed for 4 years is not available for at least the first two starts of the comp. Does anyone know the real story behind the Bateman issues? Apologies if I missed the detail.
 
There's no real issues. It doesn't matter how long you train for on your own, nothing beats training with the team with the proper staff around him. The staff are doing the right thing by not rushing a big signing back in a panic and risking injury...I think this rebuild is a 2-3 year process - we can't panic after a loss to a well-organised team, especially considering we dropped the ball 4-5 times in key areas of the field.

Not to mention the goalkicking shortfall.
 
I read somewhere he’s 93kg. I hope his manager Isaac hasn’t sold us a dud on the promise of us getting Mitchell Moses.
 
Which team is Hagipantelis behind in this game? Hope the sponsorship is an even split and goes someway to neutralise any sign of favouritism? 😝

Looks can be deceiving ...I remember a J.Thurston was shown the door at the Bulldogs because they said he was too small and lightly built for NRL...how did his career go ?

The game has changed since then, as the poster after me said the players are a lot bigger these days. Some wingers are even 100kg+

I disagree with this but I do think his confidence is shot. I just think his confidence is shot because of making so many mistakes.

If he started executing well I think he would gain that confidence.

I really think it was stupid playing him in firsts last weekend. They should have gone with Wakeham and played Brooks in reserves. When/if Brooks finds form throw him into first grade.

I totally agree Wakeham should have gotten the nod over Brooks. Give Brooks a break or something and build confidence in Reggies.

That said, I think the underlying point is right. Brooks just doesn't and never has displayed "match" confidence.

It's just NOT HIM. Yes he should gain confidence but he should be shifted to 5/8 or hooker or center or SOMETHING NOT HALFBACK!

Brooks won't lead the pack.

Updated team.

That would have to be the worst bench in NRL history. All we need is one more plodder and it's plodderville.
