You know this for a fact do you?

What else was the reason ? He had lattrel constantly out the back and he jumped out at him .repeatedly . He kept jumping the shark and making the wrong decision. Exposing his winger . Brooks did it as well !

Is it possible to get an unemotional opinion out there on this forum.
Brooks is far from crap, however, the way he is playing at the moment is, with respect.
It’s nice to point out the things he does well.
The criticism is however in this case well and truely warranted.
A lot of people are stating baseless opinions but the fact remains he does not get involved enough in play this season.

Mbye made poor defensive decisions all night - you don't know if Hoffman had anything to do with it.

You’ve misread my point . I was implying that they needed to trust thier winger , not jump at shadows . Same with brooks. I’d rather run the chance move up as a line make decisions together and let your rookie winger stuff up . Instead of jump out of the line , miss the tackle anyway , and create a 3 on 1 overlap .

It’s unbelievable. He’s had a terrible year and last night his performance was indefensible.

His cutout ball put Mbye away to pass to Hoffman . He gets zilcho for that , and Mbye gets the try assist for the draw and pass . There’s at least 5 -6 others like that this year .
You guys are just sitting there waiting for a Bad game to prove your point . Bunch of agenda driven douche bags

And then the fan boys sit on there hands for 4 weeks waiting for him to do something then call out the nay sayers ..

What fan boy ? Me ? I’ve posted like 10 times in the thread stating facts and reasons why this take is the equivalent of anti vax and flat earthers.
You want to know why we lost ? It’s simple we couldn’t get out of our own half . That’s it ! There’s your answer. Mainly because we were stung for repeat sets and penalties and the other team wasn’t . Also because we struggled to get over the advantage line , and as such kept making errors in the play the ball .
Also benji wasn’t the reason we started playing footy miraculously one the last 20 . You want to know why? Field position ! Penalties 3 repeat sets . Momentum . Zero to do with the perceived ineptitude of our half .

Yep you’re a fanboy...
And you have the hide to call us douche bags ?
I keep asking for it , but say something constructive ? If you think he’s crap , throw something intelligent out there to back it up ? Point out the exact reason why he’s crap ? In fact point out what he would have to do to not be crap ? What is it?
What is he doing poorly that he has to fix , that dropping him would fix ?
Instead of just crying ?

Thank for the research mate . It may seem like I’m a brooks fanboy , which I’m not , I just hate reading post after post of BrOoKs SuX! Say something meaningful and constructive . If he’s crap , why is he crap . If there evidence to support him being dropped , say it . And if it appears I’m wrong . I will happily eat the humblest of pie. I just want the tigers to win .

??? I just explained that. What’s your point ? That the wording could have been better ? Great ! You win ! Give yourself a high five ! How does that change the fact , that they constantly exposed Hoffman , which hasn’t happened at all this year with Talau and Jennings ?
They didn’t move up as one , which ? of the time means a lack of trust in each other or themselves . Maybe it was because Mbye didn’t trust himself . I don’t know . But the lack of trust was obvious

He has poor short kicking game .
(Rarely gets it through the line )

He has a poor long kicking game ..
( pretty much non existent )

He stands to flat in the line when receiving the ball to put an effective kick in on the last tackle ( he’s always under pressure)

And he can’t throw a decent cut out pass.
 
Nice defensive stats, maybe we should move Brooks to prop. Do we have any stats relevant to a half-back's creativity or lack thereof? For example: sets ending with last tackle bombs straight to the opposition (first), time spent hiding behind the goal posts when needed to step-up (first), or how about willingness to attempt a field-goal when scores are level (last).

Alright . Let’s assume that with 16 teams that all the stats we will use are just the halves . So a ranking of 1- 32 minimum ( there’s obviously way more than 32 because of injuries, form etc)

He’s 9th in repeat sets . He missed the first 2 games . So league average . He was top 5 last year and the year before . So the stats don’t back up what your saying . Has he dipped . Yep . He needs to zig as the league has zagged and figured him out with this .
Long kicking game - he has a cannon for a leg so I’m not sure what’s going on there . He does have a hammy issue. But he ? needs to improve this . It’s not good enough at the moment.

Too short on the last to the advantage line - Halves are taught this! To kick on the front foot . It’s coached from a young age . It’s not 1990 . Where you’re Jason Taylor standing 10 m behind the play the ball . Also if the person tackled on the last doesn’t get over the advantage line and provide a quick play the ball , you’re screwed. I disagree with this completely .
No cutout ball - disagree , his cutout was the reason Mbye got on the outside of his man to put Hoffman in . I think he doesn’t throw it enough . But the bullet pass doesn’t work either anymore it’s risky as all hell . Doueihi does it and it puts the winger under way too much pressure .
The one that works is the floater over the by op onto a charging winger. I notice Moses (the Hated one ) does this a lot to his wingers . It puts the winger on the front foot as well as being a hell of a lot less riskier .

Kicked out on the full under no pressure and caught on the last tackle ..

Drop him

I find it really odd that Madge will readily drop other players in the team when they underperform - Benji, Rowdy, Jennings, Taylor and Nofo last season just to name a few, but when it comes to Brooks and Mbye they seem to be a protected species! It’s like he has some special allegiance to them and in his eyes they can do no wrong, but as we supporters have all seen, too many times now, that they can indeed do wrong!!

I find it really odd that Madge will readily drop other players in the team when they underperform - Benji, Rowdy, Jennings, Taylor and Nofo last season just to name a few, but when it comes to Brooks and Mbye they seem to be a protected species! It’s like he has some special allegiance to them and in his eyes they can do no wrong, but as we supporters have all seen, too many times now, that they can indeed do wrong!!

Koalas mate ?

Bunch of agenda driven douche bags

??? how old are you, 5?

You know who’s a child ? Someone who carry’s on like a baby BeCAuSE ThIEr FoOTY TeAm LoSt! Wanting people dropped , calling everyone the worst player ever , bla bla bla . Sook sook sook! show me a single post where there’s anything remotely like accurate , thoughtful ,constructive , reasonable criticism , from the usual suspects ?
Here’s the deal. Brooks had a bad game . He forced the issue because of the lack of momentum the team was giving him . His defence was abysmal, mainly I think , because he and Mbye were terrified of leaving Hoffman alone with Gagai , and More importantly Lattrel which led to them jumping at sharks and creating the very isolation they were trying to prevent.

The only person going on like a baby is you mate. Seriously, just chill out. Address the issue, not the person. If you have a differing opinion to others that’s fine, but abusing people on a forum is a bit childish.

The echo chamber on this forum is ridiculous. It’s the same post over and over . Many of us come on here for constructive debate , about the team we love . Not read post after post about how Brooks is Teflon , he’s crap , worst half in the comp etc . It’s repetitive and factually wrong ! And as I’ve stated it’s not constructive .
And the reason I fight back is because there’s like 20 of you who do it , over and over again , that many people just agree with you because that’s what the majority thinks so it must be true!
I think for some , it’s purely agenda driven. Has nothing to do with how good or bad he is . You don’t like him , end of story !
And if that’s the case , and that’s what you think . You’re a douchebag.
If a better half comes along , I’m all for replacing brooks . But there isn’t one . And until there is . I’ll back him , and constructively criticise , rather than make an uneducated dig , based on how I feel rather than anything real

Is there anyone on this forum you haven’t had a fight with? You should take a break champ, it’s getting the better of you..
 
Like someone mentioned on here the other day. Brooks at hooker might be worth a try. Finding a new half and 5/8 is the challenge.

Like I said nothing constructive . Constant gibberish , and bagging. You’re right I do fight with people. The same people . The guys who all upvote the same nonsensical crap.
Because it’s crap . It offers nothing . It’s just emotional nonsense
