I love how every good game, people say it's only 1 game. Maybe just can't count past 1?

I loved the way Brooks played, and good on him, but fair dinkum mate Brooks has been unable to back these once every 6 months good game up, this has been the issue for 10 years, 1 good game, 10 bad ones

If you take away ANY bias toward Sheens, Brooks or whatever & you JUST listen to some of the comments Sheens has made in the last week there is something I find very interesting in there:

Sheens signed Brooks as a 16 year old, saw him & Moses as the Tigers future spine, but never got to coach him until this year.

We are seeing SOMETHING of a career turn-around in the last month or so. Sheens has been on record as saying he WANTS Brooks as his #7 for the future.

I think Sheens is having a swipe at Tigers management, the previous coaches etc for where Brooks is at. Maybe as fans, as a club etc- we actually need to let Sheens coach Brooks & let him try & develop the player he envisioned at the beginning?

Yep

Good for Brooksy,

The challenge is to continue on this form and not show these glimpses once every 18 months.

Recommend watching the Matty Johns Podcast this week on Kayo.

Johns and Cronk spend some time talking about Api’s impact on WT and more specifically his impact on Luke Brooks.

Also dissect Saturday night’s game.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out

Brooks has been good since we got towelled up by the donkeys, and great in a few.

Sure, he has failed to ice a couple of important plays in that month and a half, but he was getting into those positions and has arguably been the form half of the competition over this period.

At least we have stopped having to put up with the like of posts claiming that he kicks a grubber dead and another out on the full each game. Even if for many it took a month or so longer than it should have.

How do you explain Brooks’ position on the Dally M leader board?

Been waiting for someone to point out he has twice as many points accumulated as the superstar we were supposed to dump him for (Despite winning less games)
Has also had a much better season thus far....

Apparently has 1 good game "Every 6 months"?
Doesn't really explain 2 MOM performances inside the same month either...

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Any theory that his appearance on Behind The Roar this Saturday will be after a re-signing announcement hmmm

Look, he had a good game against a team that was diabolical and missed over 50 tackles.
I’ll be happier when I see him manage a win in a tight game.

This was a couple of weeks ago.

Well, his chance is coming up Friday of next week at Campbelltown when we play the Raiders and most likely without the benefit of Api on the field.

I don't know where he is on the Dally M leader board, but I see every game, and I know what I see, and what I have seen for the past 10 seasons

He's 36th. About right - situation normal.

Has he been good this season ?

Api is our next best on 8 points.

Not sure why some people are death riding him, sheens and api clearly have had a profound effect on him and he's starting to come good again. I also feel like Madge didn't know how to manage him, which is why we saw no life from him for a few years - that and his confidence dropping as a result.

You can just see the confidence is back in his game, in how he's playing and how he commands the team. If this form continues, I would be more than happy for him to extend with us and become a one club man.

Keep it up Brooksy!!
