Brooks.... what is he good for??

[JD Tiger]

Wow, go Madge. Not afraid to make the hard decisions. Brooks at half I would have thought was the more secure position at Wt throughout the past several years. Good on Madge for setting his expectations and standing up to his word through his actions.

Here's hoping Walters smashes it, and Brooks works hard to lift his game to the level we require.

Go Madge? Mbye retains his spot after missing four tackles which all resulted in tries. Seems like Magiure doesn't have the fortitude to do what should have been done earlier and drop Mbye,.

Well who's he going to put in he centres at the moment? Chee Kam?

Hoffman wouldn't be bad, but imagine Nofa, Rowdy, Chee Kam and Hoffman as our starting three quarters. Ouch.

Glad to see a WT’s coach make a hard call on dropping a star player. The ice is broken and the message sent if you don’t perform you’re out. I hope the message is received and acted on because I’d really love to see Brooks make the same leap that Moses has in his game. It’s been a long time coming. Looking forward to seeing BW at 7. Will be interesting to see if he calls the shots or just plays.

Just saw BW starting at 6 and Benji at 7.

Haven't seen it on forum but I thought he did a solid job the other night too. His body is no longer up to certain things but he was great for us.

You need better options or at least guys to give a shot too. Once we swapped Momo with Grant Mbye was always going to get a good go in the centres. Now we've also lost BJ so it's hard to replace him. Madge will drop him though. I think that is pretty clear.

Mbye to Madge = Rankin to JT

 

[JC99]

I read that it’s the first time Brooks has been dropped out of the team. Pretty crazy if true.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

seems like Madge has blamed Brooks for some of the bad reads last week e.g. putting Mmbye and Hoffman under pressure

It’s his Job go get the players out there to help him.
I have fond memories of my halfback and 5/8 screaming at my lazy as to get out beyond the posts.

Hopefully a big wake up call for him. As some others have said, I also feel it's a personality thing holding him back. There's no doubt he has natural ability and skill but needs more confidence to not only back himself but to drive this team. Hopefully that's something Madge will focus on, and from there the rest of his game might fall into place.

Brooks is on the bench

Ding dong, the witch is dead!

About time.

Mbye to Madge = Rankin to JT

Absolutely, the double standard is breathtaking. What message is Maguire sending to other players?
