Pass it on the left hand side. Man U have issues, I spoke up more fir brooks over the years, but your statement takes the cake! Clutch moments, when??? Broooks plays well with a team where his lack of brain does not matter, let’s see origin time when the brain he relies on goes to camp.

Man U do have issues. They're coming 15th in the premier league!

I agree Luai isn’t your typical clutch type player, he has always been surrounded by them.
That said, he has surely won games at the death for Penrith before…His linebreak and try assist in Game 3 last year was clutch. NSW never looked like scoring till he did that.

It's the only moment in his career to date where he's done something remotely clutch, but even then Moses sealed the win. And the way he did it, was as a 5/8 in a something from nothing play. Game managing as a halfback is completely different. As evidenced by raiders panthers last year when penrith were beating canberra with 10 minutes left, he threw an intercept and lost them the game. Similarly, like luke brooks did in the past, kicked the ball into the in goal with 7 tackle set that changed the game and didn't do anything for the last 30 minutes to amend that. He's a long way away from being a great halfback and being a leader at this club

Mitchell Moses sealed the game though. It was a something out of nothing try too, not one that was planned or game management which is what he'll need as a halfback. Such as 40/20s, kicking for touch and slowing the game down, field goals, building constant pressure with forced dropouts. Surprisingly, all of these things are cleary's greatest strengths, which he'll need to tap into

The part I bolded was about Brooks owning clutch moments. That is one of his biggest deficiencies he's a mental midget. It is almost like you don't even watch the game.

Brooks has won more than a few games in clutch situations. Fans just use him as a scapegoat for losses

You have ignored what i said. Can't name one time luai has ever come clutch? Because it's true

I think it’s easier for us to say Brooks has as tigers fans, it’s not like we sit and watch every panthers game the same way, at least not until Luai was announced to be joining our club.

stop moving the goalposts. you asked for a ‘clutch moment’ you got it.

on the biggest stage with the game firmly in the balance, Jarome Luai splits the defence open and sets up the try that delivers the breakthrough. that’s as clutch as you can get in my book. not something that’s ‘planned’ like a forced dropout.

by your reasoning we should be running Chad Townsend at halfback or someone else completely robotic with zero creativity.

either get on board and back the bloke or sit on the hill at Four Pines and cheer on your little mate Brooksy.

I hope Richo and Benji are doing their best to work with his parents and get him away from that parasite.

He doesn't care about the kids reputation. As johns said, if he builds a legacy here, he'll be on a pedestal compared to if he were to jump.

Aaron Woods should be the cautionary tale for all these younger players. Would have been a Tigers legend, instead retired a mercenary.
