Brooks is tanking

[jadtiger]

We kept Brooks and punted Hastings.Yet another poor decision by the powers that be as Hastings was more effective and would have been on less than half the money

I can see the coach / or the Teli headlines next week "Brooks - I have a point to prove" or "Brooks - I owe it to the Tigers" - as he gets named in the starting 13...

Don't forget;

The one attacking set he doesn't touch the ball, we score.

I didn't watch the game but it is so funny what you are describing is scripted for each and every game that we play with Brooks at the helm. Totally unbelievable how those in the coaching ranks still don't get it,just like a few on here.

Followed by.... loyal tiger announced club extension, locking him up for the next 4 years. One club player achievement, unlocked.

First player to reach 500 first grade NRL games. Never dropped.

💯 the dumbest halfback of all time ..
Only Brooks would get caught on the last tackle with the ball ..
@Jedi_Tiger do you concur?
Hello 👋?
Maaate !

Mate it breaks my heart. I have defended him for years. I know he has been harshly treated in the past compared to other halves in the NRL. But he is done isn't he. His 4 games this year have showed a player who needs to get out of the NRL asap. His mind is gone.

Spend 2 years in Super League and I bet he comes back to finish his career strong.

At the moment I only see him getting a minimum wage contract at another NRL club.

Yeah mate in the same bucket.

@BAGNF05 called me a muppet the other day for calling out the worst half in the comp… I wonder what he’s gonna say today

Old mate is a delusional muppet himself

 

[dacoots_tiger]

It's gotten to a point where the club have a duty of care to not play him next week, not only for us and the team, but for Brooksie.

He's gotta be rock bottom tonight ...

I wonder what excuse he’ll come up with today… maybe it will be because Brooks isn’t used to playing in Melbourne, or because Api is taking too much control.

Maybe he’s not used to playing with wakeham 🤡

Try Laurie in the halves, seriously what have tigers got to lose it's 0/4

Smith isn't an organising half and Reilly hasn't shown anything to suggest he's first grade standard. If he works on his defence he could be a serviceable KOE player.

Defence ? He’s one of our best, he just needs to take the line on more.

Brooks has to be dropped next week!
I reckon is smith plays a good game this week in cup, we could probably see him there

 

[watersider]

Most had low expectations for brooks this season, can anyone explain how he's actually managed to get worse? I'm sure he used to have good moments and even good games sometimes.

And he's never stunk like this before. It used to just feel like we'd be getting beaten and he'd look bad, then when he had space he'd be okay to good. Now rest of team is good and he is dreadful. His barely seems able to pass, and he's only even attempting the most basic passes.

 

[cheeko]

He’s not tanking. Just crap.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I defend brooks usually but it seemed like tanking tonight lol.

I honestly think he tries too hard.

 

[hobbo1]

1. Laurie ..he’s pretty shit
6. Doohey .. can improve
7. Wakeham .. better than the dwarf

ATM this is all we have .
I just want to see Brooks punted
Just one game .. am I asking too much ?

What a shit show aye 😂
