Can’t kick goals like most halves
Can’t put through a clean grubber
Can’t throw a spiral pass
Can’t put up a torpedo bomb

Cant manage a game
Cant kick field goals
Cant build pressure from repeat sets
Cant not kick 95% of the time directly at the fullback on the 5th

Weighed down by Geos expectation

Brooks played well his defence was solid all night.Some people just like to criticise him and Nof because they can

why don't you forum members that continue to knock Brooks go and support another team. He was not the reason we lost the game our forwards could not go forward and as per some forum members have alluded to we should be paying 2 props for go forward, I blame Madge for this loss not selecting a forward pack that could not make yards, shows however we are still a thereabouts team.

Brooks in hiding again tonight ... especially in the defensive line . Throw in poor missed tackles from “Mr Defence” that directly cost tries.
Only good thing was the falcon to get us the ball back.

Go t😵PSM that was Mbye four. times.

What positives can you give me about Brooks game that relate to being a good half from tonight

Brooks and Mbye were both poor. Hard to blame others, but I agree Madge was poor too.

And in the MAJORITY of last plays he’s standing so shallow ( in the line) that he can’t get a kick away ..
Does my head in !
 
Not much. They guy is cooked. Done

No signs of improvement what so ever and his leadership for a team leading half is just non existent.

Excuses have dried up long ago.

Time to recruit a replacement.
 
Should have had Packer for MCK for size.
Brooks was a bit quiet tonight but dont know if he gets dropped let the guy coast and cherry pick when ti get involved at 6 and let Marshall run the show

Why dont you forum members that think Brooks is on par with Joey Johns give an example of anything he adds to the team. Anything. The Tigers will never make the finals with this pretender at 7. Ive got 7 about to be 8 years of proof to back that up.

Playing Brooks at 7 at this point is like playing Damien Cook there.

They both have one skill...running.

Zero game management skills.

I have supported Luke since day one, but he simply cant control or manage a game. He never controls sets in the opp 20. He just can't do it. It has been too long to think he will get it. It just won't happen.


.

Errors from MCK. and Nofoaluma cost us the game. Harsh reality is they lead directly to tries.

I am not reacting to tonight. Luke can't control a game. When was the last time he controlled a set jn the opp 20? When was the last time he controlled the pace of the game? He just never has.

He is a Balmain kid and, trust me, I want to see him become great. But it just won't ever happen. It has been the best part of 8 years now. And no sign of being able to manage a game. Eight years. At some point we need to accept it and move on.
 
please dont use history to back that up as benji Lawrence and Nofo were also passengers in the Tigers good ship semi final train over the last 6 years

Someone needs to spike Brooks’s drink bottle with some pingers
Or take the kid to the brothel ...one or the other ..

The reality is two basic. errors cost us the game. There were no star performers out there tonight but basic errors cost us the game.

Might add a personality. His nickname should be Styrofoam. The guy is as bland as white rice.
