Brooks got the vast majority of calls in opp 20 on the weekend. Api hardly went to Wakeham. Brooks prob for us is he is a massive negative as he kills the attack. 100 sets in opp 20 first month and yet to lay on a try. It would be addition by subtraction even if we played me there...i.e...

Those positions are all covered already...and you could switch a sec row to center if desperate. ToA is absolutely useless. And a bench of Jake and ToA means 'two' players likely to hardly play at all.

ToA 17 is absolutely ridiculous. Blore has been one of our best defensively. Should have been starting with Bateman or Matamua at 13. ToA 17 is Sheens at his best...

Looks that way... I am guessing someone will cop it for the scrum loss...Seyfarth was on the side the ball was, so Sheens will prob just switch him and Joe. The team desperately needs a ballplayer at 13 to help the woeful spine. Pole and Twal can't do that. Both should be bench props and...

He is nowhere near fit enough for anywhere in first grade. Barely kept up in reggies. Your spine players need to constantly be on the ball and moving. He takes multiple plays off per set. Honestly, he is a country league player. Not NRL.

Sheens has already confirmed Brooks and AD both staying put.

Gutho is not leaving... And he would be a million to one to join us if he ever did.

Brooks IS playing and will be 7. Sheens has already confirmed it. “I don’t need to defend ‘Brooksy’, he doesn’t need me to defend him, he’s a tough kid, [the criticism] would get to anyone, but every training session he turns up with a smile,” Sheens told the Herald on Tuesday. “They [Brooks...

He has been great so far. I would honestly just go to him and ask him to recruit three hard nosed northern brits he feels would make it and can be relied on. Then sign them. Bateman is a winner. Twal...nice bloke...is a loser. Bateman threw the ball back and Twal had a chance to dive on it...

We are NOT worse... We are much better...that is why it is so frustrating. Pack are reg half or more over 100...last year we had multiple games with none. Hooker is way better. Goal line D is much better... I hate to keep saying it, but it all comes down to the spine and 1 and 7 being so...

Again...hate to say this, but if you have ever seen Twal interviewed there just is nothing 'there'. And that translates onto the footy field. Honestly, Brooks...Twal...and Nofa all clearly have very, very, low IQs. I am not knocking that, but it translates onto the footy field also unfortunately.

Brooks out would mean others with more touches. EVERY set he controlled we failed to score...all season. Wakeham had a lovely long cut out pass to AJ... He also found players in space. Bateman created... Api created. Brooks out means others get more ball... He has had over 100 sets in opp...

The scary thing is Tim will need to step back and say "okay, I got that wrong...Luke needs to go"... He will need to be like Bennet with Milford and make the change for everyone's sake. Tim is incredibly stubborn though....

It has to be mate. I hate to even post stuff like this. But it is there for all to see. 100 plus sets on the line and can't create a try. Shocking end of sets. Bad kicks. Poor passes. I honestly do not even like criticizing him...but it is ruining everyone's enjoyment of the game it is that...

It is killing the team. I hate to single him out...you can carry a bad center...you can carry a useless second rower who gives you one hit up... But you cannot carry a 7. They touch the ball too much and others rely on them. They impact everyone too much. Swap a base NRL 7 like Sean...

Both tries today from sets Brooks did not touch it... In sets he is involved, he has had over 100 sets in opp 20 this season for zero try assists / not set up a single try / shocking kicking. His one assist a long range one. This is an NFL team where a QB can't play...where one man is ruining...

It just has to end... Brooks soft hands we score first try...instead bullet pass into AJ. Brooks shocking kick...seven tackles after pack marched us down. Storm score. Brooks missed tackle...try. 18 point swing...all on him. AND he is dominating the plays when the ball needs to be out of...

Sadly, the bolded bit has been true for ages.

That could be an answer... Not sure he could have thought of that though. Looked like he just dummied and surrendered. He has been tackled a LOT on the fifth like that this season. My theory is he thought it was the fifth tackle.

The ball movement actually had them shot...watch it back if you can. To the right they were gone. Brooks dummied to the left and surrendered.
