Brooks: What exactly has gone wrong?

[pawsandclaws1]

Brooks is a good player but he is not the half back option for WT going forward. In all the years
watching the great game the dominate sides have excellent half backs that are able to manage
games and influence results constantly. Brooks should be traded which means a win/win for both
Parties. I would trade Brooks for JAC. Brooks would then have access to Cronks coaching and
A new environment.

CCTW has already posted JAC's acquisition is not contingent upon a player swap.

OMG..people are believing this..

OK..How the hell would Kent know what was said between Maguire and a player in a meeting in his office...

Paul Kent was the player.

Brooks: What exactly has gone wrong?

145 games and no finals. That’s exactly what’s gone wrong.

The real questions is when did it ever go right?

This whole finals thing is kinda rubbish.
So we punt Brooks.
Good luck to him, he’ll most likely break his finals drought.

Guess who is next on that list, Nofo.

Brooks will probably end his finals drought somewhere else. He needs a change of scenery for sure.

Nofo - that’s a tough one.

He's been loyal to a club with no prospect of playing finals football following the departure of the 'big three'. Brooks is a fine player and loyal WT. If any of you have been 'in the trenches" he would be one of the first 'd want. Let's support him and understand that rebuilding our team is dependent upon a firing Brooks.

Why did Madge re sign him

The big 3 or 4 was a junior league myth. It was the big 1 Tedesco. I wish it wasn’t.

He is probably the best option around for a half at the moment, but he needs to be dropped. Take a break. Get away. Do something, anything, because he’s literally playing for his career and it’s a little underwhelming at best.

Why did Madge re sign him

Not only that but extend till 2023..when the initial offer was only till 2022 and at a time Brooks still had over 18 months to go on the current contract..

The halfback owns the result, never a truer word has been said.

Very true but not behind a forward pack that gets physically dominated each week.

You make the observation that a good team needs an excellent half back and then make the recommendation that we trade our half back for a winger. How does that fix the problem?

 

[TrueTiger]

Im going to say the last thing about Brooks and its my opinion only....
Next year Benji will be gone,Luke can come out of his shell and start dominating this team as he should have been,he will hopefully have a stronger pack with Tamou in it and leading the way forward,if not then why the hell did we sign him..
I have faith that Madge will be able to put key players in their respective positions on a weekly basis,this years chopping and changing was out of necessity more than anything because of injuries and no CC to be played...we should have a much clearer view 5/6 weeks into the season on how we are travelling...

I have been a severe critic of Brooks over the years ,but having to play alonside the club legend must have been difficult at times,Luke is still young enough to produce some very good football,he has to take CONTROL and show his capabilities so we can have faith in him to make the right choices to lead the team and close out games...

FGS ease up on Brooksy, Daly M 1/2 winner playing in a team that leaks too many points. We are good at putting on points in attacking zone so it's obvious what the problem is. You get our team to average 10pts a game against us and we'll win more games than lose. Brooks is also a better player when running wide of the ruck, get him involved with Noffa sweeping back to a wider blind side.

 

[Strider]

2021 last chance for Brooks.

 

[crazycat]

As everyone says. When we get DOMINATED in the forwards week after week why are we surprised by the poor result. Fix the damn forward pack.
Sure Benji pulled rabbits out of his hat. Brooks doesn't. Brooks can certainly turn on the tries and the effort.

Now I believe the solution to Brooks is that he gets moved to another position and we get a better team manager as a half. lets see, great running game, good passing can kick. Bad team control, bad positional awareness. Let Brooks goto 5/8 for a few games.

Our biggest problems is Liddle being an awesome 30-50 minute hooker who is going to get busted up again and the big D.

I think it will be more dependent on Brooks firing, which he is more than capable of.
Luke may the force be with you.
It is going to be a long off season

Sorry , I don’t agree . He had a down year , in the weirdest year in our lifetime . Many players across many sports are experiencing this. He won the dally m HOY, 2 years ago , our player of the year last year , and you want to punt him after really , half a bad year , as he has started to find his feet the last 4 rounds .
Seems to me , guys with an agenda have been eating humble pie for the last 2 years and now , they’re coming out the woodworks and are just laying the boot in .
It’s pretty on the nose IMO.
