Luke Brooks #167

I was thinking the other day, are the 5/8's of this competition getting a free ride? Most are offering very little. They have games where they do the odd good thing, the odd average thing, and generally stay quiet throughout the game. Munster is the exception obviously, but watch others closely, they have minimal impact on the game but because they are wearing 6 rather then 7 they escape criticism.

So I guess what I'm getting at is, if Luke Brooks plays exactly like he has the past 3 games (parra, manly, Penrith), but is playing 6 next year, is that acceptable with him being on 650k? In comparison to other sixers I think its more then good enough. Just find that organising 7 somehow.

I'm one of the biggest critics of the whole organisation but when credits due it's deserved and its a joy to give the whole team a rap.... I was stokes last night - so good

But you can see the difference between critics and death riders, must be horrible not to have enjoyed that last night... I'm still pumped 💪
 
Watched game again .well done to brooks .went looking for the ball .he still needs to be close to api .consistency is the key for him for the rest of year .then he can move onto another club next year

Brooks has been playing himself into fitness and form, consistently this season. His past few games were encouraging, given that he has been off injured since July ‘22. But if you’re a bigot you may not see the reality as others see it.
Brooks is the type of player we need at the club.

I’m a bigot …
I can’t be bought with a couple of 40/20’s once in a blue moon.
We were again inept in the 6th tackle… this was highlighted in the commentary.
Emus stick their head in the sand.
 
Slept well last night. Thanks fellas. Nice to read some positive press this morning. Best team effort for a very long time. A mate even messaged me to say congrats!

All we have ever needed is Brooks to consistently play well and demonstrate the maturity of a seasoned FG 7 especially one who commands a big salary.
Wests Tigers fans are not the only ones who can and have identified his weaknesses.

Still hotnandncold last night a very fluctuating game for him... Some great moments andnsomenvery frustrating ones
.. Caught at least 3 times on the last but the forty 20s and repeat sets a much better effort... They say there's not much butween great players best and worst games... Brooks still has heaps... But happy for him... Really happy for him just sit back for a moment and try and imagine being under the pressure he's been under, most of us would crack. I'm sure

Spot on. End of day we won and he played a big part in that against the best team in the comp & grinded the win out. Brooks has the blueprint now, it’s up to him to build from it over the next few weeks.

At least one of those caught on the lasts was the fault of the putrid ball he got… lucky to hold it let alone do anything constructive with it…

We’re really going to miss Api at Origin time

Also, a lot of the top halves have hot and cold moments in games… we’re a lower side - so when it happens to us, it matters more and hurts us worse…

The kick chase last night was noticeably stronger. That’s a team that wants a win. Needs to be the standard now!!!!!!

Been a long time coming!!

SMH at the comments here bashing on our kicking game… for the last however long - we’re usually kicking inside our own 40 and no one bothers to chase…

So many good moments in footy come from a good kick chase…
Funnily, it was one of Sheens 3 fundamentals in 05…
Kick Chase, quick play the ball (maybe) I can’t remember the 3rd…
