The bloke with 5 try assists doesn’t get a point?

True , brooks gout zero try assists , but how many tries did he directly assist ? I count at least 3. AD was best on ground though.

He laid real good ball on for Laurie , abs the centre’s . Much improved from the start of the year, in regards to ball playing.

I thought Brooks was fine, not bagging his game at all. But AD was running our attack and was the best player on the park pretty easily imo.

AD wasn't running the attack, he was doing a great job of taking on the line and passing both inside and outside on usually set plays, but Brooks is running the attack.

I agree. Brooks was an organizing halfback tonight. He has had a really good season. He has even learned it's better to pass the ball to Doueihi quickly rather than hold onto it.

Ah ... what ? He was NOT running out attack mate . If you watched the 9 telecast , Lockyer pointed out , how brooks engaging the line and controlling the attack via what the centre did , ie. turning inwards , or not , created the space on the edge .
AD did really well with this space .
But the attack was ? being controlled from either side of the ruck.

AD was best on ground . But that game right there , is what any coach would want from thier half . Borderline textbook .

Mate fair enough, you’re entitled to your view. But I viewed it differently. It appeared to me that AD was in charge tonight.

Clearly.

AD was super involved.
Brooks played his part but yeah, nothing spectacular.

Tamou’s best game for us & was great we need him to play like this for the rest of the season.

Brooks got the ball where it needed to be 9 times out of 10 today..it's what you want from your 7..

Not sure why it's become a competition..

Brooks, Doueihi and Laurie combined really well..probably the best they have...makes even less sense why Maguire went away from it in the 1st place..

Brooks was really good. That is exactly what people argue he needs to do.

Has to learn to tackle. There are no excuses for missing first up contact. Brooks had three try assists today and played beautifully, although you wouldn't know it on this forum.

Brooks had 0 try assist today, he did well at giving the ball to Doueihi though

The only person giving brooks 3 points today is mrs brooks or his Mum.
