They're not mutually exclusive mate.
Finally someone who sees the light. AD is a terrible 5/8. He either plays centre or second row, if he learns to tackle. For the first time in years, I watched the channel 9 coverage. Joey asked Fittler where he felt AD should play, because the halves combination is not working. Fittler said he always felt he was a centre. Somebody else has seen the light. Brooks is not great but dont let that imbecile outside him off the hook.

We've said the same about Brooks... for years.
😂😂
This is the Tigers mate
They stay loyal to the duds.
it is worse. People don't remember the last time he was fullback, I geniunely would rather Laurie back there instead of AD. Ultimately it should be staines though

Just on the Burton try, Klemmer was the main man at fault for me. If you watch the 3 tackles leading up to it, Klemmer sits behind the ruck having a bludge, when Joffa can't get up quick enough to be in the line, Klemmer doesn't react and spends a 3rd tackle having a rest behind the ruck. Blore missed the tackle, but it would have been an amazing tackle under the circumstances he was in. Klemmer just had to push across into the space.
Its these lack of efforts off the ball that cost us every year.
Scored a great try against the Titans.- he can play but has got weaknesses like most of them - and his form at 5/8th as a combo with Brooks at 7 is not working for the team.
Sheens or Benji as much to blame for that attacking structure especially since they talked it up preseason. Looks like they have never played together in their lives.
How long they are prepared to persist is hard to read given depth and lack there of and length of time others have had to improve their performances without much growth but are still there.

Cannot believe Douhie and Brooks had a whole preseason together. Yes Brooks had a couple of weeks off but they looked like a local half pairing that rocked up for that day. How can the coaching staff not see it earlier? 0-3 against the worst teams and now they are changing the team. Talk about amateur hour.
Fans arnt interested anymore. I'd rather watch the Dolphins play than this rabble.
I know you love AD but he has been totally off for what 12 of his last 14 games, totally off is his issue. It’s not even a minor off either. It’s not just this year. He just doesn’t come across to being able to concentrate and be able to handle the speed of the game which makes him look lazy.
He does make some effort plays, big chases etc but the difference is he is costing us big time on the scoreboard directly with really simple rookie basic mistakes.
It’s one thing to not create an opportunity but he is currently a certain try minimum a game liability.
This year is worse than last year because he has no excuse of coming back from a major injury & got what he wanted which was 1st crack at 5/8th. He also got an extension. It’s bizarre how things worked out.
Re Brooks if he was released we don’t get $1m or close back this year he has already been paid a portion and a chunk is offset payments from years prior. We backloaded his contract before rules changed. Next year he wouldn’t be getting $1m or close to it regardless.
Right now both should be shipped off & replaced with some kids who want to have a crack. At worst we gain on the cap & still lose at best we gain on the cap and win more often.

Wests Tigers supporters are probably responsible for the floods we have experienced in recent times.
No arguments from me brother MT

Ad isn't a 6, but neither is Brooks.
You can't just say Brooks can be a running 6 if you're playing left and right. Brooks has zero vision or football instincts.
The only way Brooks is a 6 is if we go back to the 70's with the 6 outside the half and an inside and outside centre. That won't happen so I really don't know where he fits in unless they could turn him into a fullback.
He just doesn't have the skillset for 6 or 7.
AD is either a fullback or a winger.

defensive positioning will have to be on point because he wont be able to get across intime if he does a misread.. we may start leaking alot more points if thats the case

Yeah, unfortunately it sounds like Sheenius is keen on Doueihi at fullback.
Don't know what the old bloke is seeing because I certainly can't see it and thought that Staines was going pretty well at the back.
How the hell is Doueihi going to organize our defence from out the back when he hasn't got a clue how to defend himself to start with.
Have to say, what sort of training do these guys do? Do they honestly look at Doueihi and Brooks in the halves and think, awesome, look at these attacking plays! Can’t wait for the next game!
I think they were genuine when they said before the season started that they were putting together plays that had never been seen before. Got that right..
