Brooks is tanking

[HUNT 101]

Mornin', yes - miles ahead too.

Not sure if that says much for Brooks, or the dire state of our halves depth.

Now, you wake up if you think Wakeham is the answer.

Morning
It appears Sheen's think's Wakeham could be the answer alongside Brooks and AD at fullback ..
So Just drop into Concord Moh and tell the NRL coach to also wake up.😂

 

[Yanz 85]

Nah Hobbo. (1) even years gone by he was this rubbish.
(2) brooks shouldn’t be in the halves (or the team at all). I care less that he is the golden child. There can be no level of acceptance of this crap. None.

Exactly ^^^ people on this forum 😂😂 brooks has been at it a decade he just isn’t built for first grade. Brooks needs to go to reserve grade not 6. Api is outsmarting brooks he is to stupid to even read his own 9. This club is a disaster. The second we let jock madden go I knew we were in for another spoon. Results don’t lie. Stats don’t lie. AD was very poor too but how would you feel knowing the guy inside you is on a [This word has been automatically removed]ing million dollars and gives late, shit ball and can’t kick. AD and the entire side will lift with brooks out they CLEARLY lose confidence with him at 7. The moment wakeham came on api fired and points came it’s not a coincidence

2022 - Hastigns /Madden is the answer
2023 - Wakeham is the answer

The real answer is;
We just need a new halves pairing.

 

[diedpretty]

The scary thing with AD is he is weak on multiple plays...but gets up and stares at others / blame game.

That is a massive red flag.

Bateman gets up and blames himself.

AD looks around at others.

Massive red flag.

The intercept was the perfect example of that - instead of chasing he was pointing at where he expected his outside man would have been. Pretty poor form.

 

[Buttface]

This was a good idea for a new thread.

 

[Bring back Olaf Prattl]

My worry is that Wakeham won't be afforded the opportunity to develop. If he gets a go , a couple of losses and he'll be in reserves.

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Brooks wasn’t the problem, AD was poor and the two together just doesn’t work
7 Wakeham & 6 Brooks
Put AD in the centres with a backrower who can do his tackling
Nofo should make way for mine

Asking a lot from any backrower to cover for the centre and the half, not sure Doueihi can defend in the front line, not really sure he can defend anywhere.

 

[Demps]

We can always reflect on August 14th, 2020 - when Brooks last won wearing the #7

Brooks has been in 1st grade for 10 years.

Fitzhenry
John Morris
Heighington
Ryan

We're actually really good with persisting with players.

 

[The_Patriot]

Joel Caine on SEN adamant that both Doeihi and Brooks are 5/8's.

His main point being that Brooks is a dead set 5/8 and its stupid to play him anywhere else.

Wakeham is the only real halfback at the club so he gets the job imo.

 

[851]

Don't care for personal attacks.

But to clarify it for you - I do not think AD and Brooks are the answer, at all. But the answer is NOT within the club.

If you're willing to wait for these hyped up youngsters who may never amount to anything, maybe, but we need to sign a Moses.

But if it makes you feel better to give Wakeham a run just because, do it. It won't get much worse, but it sure as heck won't get any better.

Brooks is trash. Wakeham is trash.

AD is a trash half.

My opinions, thanks for listening.

Wakeham was good in the trial verse Canberra, on form he is streets ahead of Brooks, everyone bar you and a couple of Brooks fans can see it

faking leg cramps the week before and gamble called him on it lol
This week throwing intercept passes and blaming the centre.. cmon
AD is not up to playing 6

Yer true, letting madden a Australian school boy go to give brooks “ another year “ is genius 😂 my bad. You must me on the board. Is Pascoe a good kisser ?

P.S. Are you Brooks' brother?

Clearly have never played in your life. Dally M halfback of the year doesn’t mean anything to you? It’s not Brooks fault the rest of the team isn’t at his level

Take a shot everytime someone mentions Brooks Dally M & you would be in an ambulance 🤣 🤣 10 years of failure & crap... we heard about the forward pack & he hasn't done anything with it. Either play him at 6 or don't play him at all because as a 7 he is just completely useless.

Yer under Cleary who in all the tigers wisdom the board let go. Great call cause Cleary is a terrible coach…. Oh wait. He won the dally m 5 years ago and has never taken his team to the finals and is on a million. I coach at state level, league is my job. If you don’t think the team looses confidence having a million dollar player who can’t even get a repeat set or hit a clean pass you have no business even having this discussion. Look at ash Taylor and the titans, difference being they had the balls to admit they [This word has been automatically removed]ed up and cut him. It’s effecting the entire team the 7 is the general. The cowboys turned the entire 2022 around by getting a great 7 in Townsend and bleeding young players, 4 of them are already playing origin. You don’t know football champion
