Six Million Dollar Man

[GNR4LIFE]

The obsession over our most recently departed players is like nothing I ever have seen. “BuT eX tIgErS aRe AlWaYs TaLkEd AbOuT”. To the same extent? As if

 

[weststigers]

Because people have always bagged Brooks incessantly and blamed him for the Tigers losing record.

What do you hope to achieve? What's the end game? Perhaps you can get the WTF boys to help you get a protest going?

Achieve?
End game?
I think someone gets justified and wins some forum brownie points...not sure who though

I'll back Luai tho

 

[supercoach]

Going to be a very long season reading a squillion posts on the performance of Brooks and Luai each week.

Personally don’t care how Brooks ago, but will keep a eye on Luai as he will be our no7 next year, but really what he does at Riff this year means very little, as next year he will have 16 different players around him

I just enjoy the banter and any success the kid has because he put in for the club.

What are we protesting now?

Blame Brooksy for global warming?

We are not dissimilar. I'm very happy for him.

 

[upthetigers]

Is AHX multi-accounting? @weststigers you sound exactly like him 🤣

Hoping Manly knock off Rorters this weekend and stamp themselves as a new contender. As an NRL fan, it’s a good narrative.

He is far funnier than me.

You started the thread. You're entitled to. It just confuses me. You could say bewildered, befuddled or even baffled. Apologies. Forgive me.

I don't think I even quoted your post, so I'm sorry if you thought I was talking directly to you. Sometimes it's not all about Halbrowne61...although it could be. But it wasn't. Again, forgive me.

You’re right mate. Sometimes I react to things I shouldn’t, thinking it’s aimed at me. I’ll try and be a bit more circumspect in the future. As you would say, forgive me.

Well isn’t it his fault for cooking too much on his BBQ ?🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Hal. You have a powerful voice. Use it for good. Not evil. We need you.

I enjoyed his recent comments on that. They could have given it to me at training 😂

 

[Tucker]

It’s a team sport. Very few one man teams have ever done well. Why should we have expected that of LB?

I merely expected our highest paid player to perform at an NRL level. Thats all.

 

[Telltails]

I reckon Luke played like he didn't want to be here for his last two seasons - bar a couple of games. All well and good if he was a volunteer but his contract suggested otherwise.
For that reason I have a hard time swallowing the goodwill shown by some, but each to their own.

 

[shiretiger]

I didn't know that Steve Austin was coming to the Wests Tigers.

Sorry, I am that old

Without going over too much old ground, his early career was blossoming until all the good players we had upped and left.

A. He didn’t want to be there, that’s been confirmed. He was trying to sign for Newy.
B. He easily could have stopped putting his body on the line in defence and running the ball as often as he did. He never ever put on a dinner suit as a player.
Stats would back that up.

The true architects of our decade of failure are gone from the sport completely.

I’ll be very glad if Brooksy gets a chance to show he was just a victim of their incompetence.

Meh. It wasn’t great.

 

[BAGNF05]

We can all agree that Luke Brooks is not a great.
