This.
And we don't have anyone that meets this criteria, why we need to look outside the club for a new half
No they haven’t. They both have had some of the biggest egos & arrogant players in the game. They just knew how to manage them to get results.
Who gives a toss what Pascoe thinks? He's not part of the football department and should have absolutely zero say in whether he stays or leaves the club
We’ve already got a 7 and it ain’t Brooks.
Hastings … easy.
There has been a notable difference over the last 6 months between the front office and football department. There seems to be a much greater separation between the front office and the football department (in a good way). Sheens is running a much tighter ship, which is why there less leaks out of the club in terms of player recruitment and retention eg. Naden and Kepaoa re-signings.
News flash - Farah played for the club for 16 years - we made the finals 3 times.
Is this the new version of the “Madden is far superior to Brooks” narrative?
Completely agree with this. Just gotta get the best players to get along and buy in.
Have a look at the other halves playing then (some injured for multiple games) and ask yourself if that was a joke.
You forgot to mention how many tackles he misses 🤣
To be fair, as much as fans like to label Twal as a 'plodder' you could see the difference in the defensive effort in the middle after Twal was injured. He's not you're athletic powerful front rower we all love to see progress over the advantage line. He won't be the direct reason you score a try in a game, but he will be the guy who prevents 12 being scored...
No … it’s the truth.
With comments like that - the only one who’s wearing blinkers here is you guys…
Simple… they had proven talent.
I don't know, might have something to do with the fact that Benji and Farah gave us a premiership while your child has been masquerading as a first grade halfback for nearly a decade and can barely kick for touch let alone organise a team.
Wow. We add those two and we go from having easily the worst forward pack to an arguably top 8 pack (provided everyone can stay healthy). Stef, Pole, Leniu, Klemmer, Api, Leniu, Blore, and IP has a nice blend of youth, experience, and aggression which we haven't had since Gareth Ellis was here.
We've been a pretty poor side for the entirely of Brooks' career. Yet during that time our attack is typically ranked middle of the table whereas our defence is typically ranked amongst the bottom few teams on the table. (Can't be bothered getting the exact rankings but they are easy to find for anyone that doubts it) On these numbers, how do you hold the halfback responsible?
