Luke Brooks #167

That dropped ball hurt. He just had to catch that.

Why, once again, we are trying to blame a loss on ONE player ??
Had we won the game no one would have said rubbish about him. Or maybe I’m wrong and people still would.
We as a team are not getting results, so blame players who make equal share of errors in each game, not just one bloke.

Yet Brooks is the reason why we lost due to dropping a simple pass. He’s not the only one that made errors, but he made the most costly one. Been doing it for years and today was just another example.

No better halves player on the field 50 minutes into this match, despite all the knockers.

This aged well

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Watch you talking about Willis ?

Hoe many tries have we scored over the past couple of weeks without Brooks being heavily involved. He is probably heavily involved in 80% of the tries we score.

I mean in our team he does those things basically better than anyone other than Api.

I don’t think you understand how percentages work.

 

[KingRobbie]

Both our halves messed up tbh but yeah both Brooks and Wakeham did bad. We need a whole new halves pairing.

Agreed.

But one’s on about $900,000 more.

Are you nuts.

Its just the tipping point, offers nothing else. Has a chance to offer something and drops the simplest of catches.

Brooks was born concussed
Piss him off

 

[Winston Churchill]

He is not good. Full stop. His defenders are delusional.

His defenders are displaying attention seeking behaviours. Its not delusional its deliberate for attention, they know what they are doing and they are filling up sock after sock watching the replies and attention they are getting. Best to ignore. Obvious is obvious.

Playing Luke brooks at 7 next week is the definition of insanity

What's re-signing him then? Because you know they have and are too scared to announce it.

 

[Glenji95]

Agreed.

But one’s on about $900,000 more.

True I get the frustration there.

You can see why he’s hated by Tigers fans.

I’m starting to think the same thing. At first I thought they were just brain dead / family friends but now I’m starting to think they get some sick sexual release from being brooks trolls. It’s worrying that we have this type of behavior on our forum.

If you took the field position stats of our match and ran an analysis over the last 10 years of matches where there was a similar domination, I bet the average score of the matches would be something like 36 - 12 for the team with dominant field position.

We've lost dominating field position multiple times now this year. Yes our backs and forwards may make the occasional untimely error, but they're doing 90% of their job. It falls on the halves. Wakeham obviously isn't good enough, but we didn't sign him as a full-time first grader. He's a minimum wager who can competently fill in when needed. Brooks is on 1 million+ a year. Of course the blame is going to go to him firstly and foremost. He's being paid like a superstar, he's delivering like a reserve grader.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Fact of the matter is that regardless of the drop by brooks at the end in very wet conditions, he still had ample opportunity to exploit the fantastic field position and base provided by the forwards which he couldn’t do. It’s the same old story, end of, not good enough. A good halfback would be calling for the ball in attacking positions and organising his outside men. This isn’t rocket science, he has poor footy IQ and always has.

 

[Telltails]

Geez we are ordinary with the ball. We had enough opportunity to convert but rarely troubled their D. Lucky for us they weren't much better today. Can't defend our errors - as soon as Bateman lost that ball you almost knew we were toast.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

1st try. Brooks with the beautiful pas to To'a to create the try.
2nd try. All Api.
3rd try. Brooks to To'a. To'a did the work but Brooks gave him good ball.

So Brooks contributed to two out of 3 tries and one was a beautiful pass on the side he typically doesn't throw the ball.

I checked the highlights because I didn't see the game the same way you did and I didn't think what you said made any sense.

Even the satire is boring now.

One went missing and the other sock 🧦 changed his user name 🤣

 

[Winston Churchill]

I don’t think you understand how percentages work.

He also doesnt understand a half back should be involved in 80%+ of tries we score, he mentions that like its an amazing stat for Brooks and not the sole reason a half back is on the field!!, also 0 x 0 is still zero. The amount of tries in total he has been involved with is beyond piss weak. He conveniently leave out that stat doesn't he.

 

[Telltails]

They need to kill the run around- it was slow motion stuff.
