Brooks

[hobbo]

His kicking and running game sucked that hard Farah had to take over .

RF had good game certainly played his part. Brooks put a couple of decent kicks in.

Wasn't his best game agree but didn't have many chances.

I just don't get why he is being singled out. Our wingers had 9 errors, our starting pack made 200mtrs collectively.

Useually a gun halfback can create something from nothing .
In over 100 games brooks hasn’t once taken a game by the scruff of the neck and got us home.

Yeah …our plodder pack is disgusting

I don't mean to be critical of Brooks but cut him some slack his still a young half back learning his trade :laughing: His stats will tell you so .
Give him another 100 games and he might take control of this team . :laughing: :laughing:

If he’s going to be here for another 100 games were royally screwed :laughing:

Surely the Super League has to be an option for him , i will even organise a tour of the Millwall facilities….only trying to help 😕

On 2 occasions in the first half Brooks died with the ball on the last tackle. Happy to spend his $500,000 elsewhere

Any chance of swapping Brooks with Drinkwater as I said when he left that he was our only halfback at the club.
He and Gamble formed a good partnership in reserve grade maybe they could be 6 n 7 next season.
Brooks has been given more than enough time.

Brahhh…..
Gamble is a whole new level of atrocity.

Drinkwater was great for state cup but when he played grade he was awful.

They're probably great guys but some dudes just don't have it....

Bit harsh on the limited time Tyson’s been at the club but we have to think outside the square a little. But time must be up for Luke thru my eyes. Cheap option for us and could pave the way for a quality forwards signing.

If you think Gamble is the answer… Sadly mistaken.

My dad said he saw Sandow play bush footy the other day...
Much better option than that flop Gamble.

Highly doubt that one mate….. I’d have much a chance of playing than C Sandow

18 errors, 8 penalties and brooks is the problem :roll

The wingers were hopeless today. Kev, Lawrence were good. The rest were up and down.

Can’t juge a pack the was playing with so many errors and bad choices behind it. 40% possession is woeful

Edit: Robbie and Reynolds and Mbye were good

 

[foreveratiger]

I've heard all the excuses under the sun on this Forum over the year's in regards with Brooks not progressing and living up to his potential…..
1\. Moses taking to much control in the halves and not allowing Brooks to do his natural number 7 role .
2\. The forwards not giving him enough protection in defence for his so many missed tackles over the years .
3\. That JT was stifling his natural game
4\. Lack of go Forward from our forwards not hitting the advantage line and no room for him to do his thing .
5\. That Robbie Farah was over running his hand most of the time and never gave enough ball to Brooks .
Anymore ?????????????

And soon to be :
That Robbie is back and back to his old tricks that's why Brooks form is down

 

[bigsiro]

I'd have Mbye in 7 and Thompson back to FB rather than the current setup.

He is just not good enough. Over him pretending to control our team.

But but but we are leading the NRL in repeat set's.

 

[BalmainTiger]

lets blame everything on Brooks and not blame Cleary for all the dud buys. other than a few good players we just don't have the team to be top 8 material. we have players in our team that would be lucky playing in ISP . we would be the only team that would have them in FG and MWZ is the first that would come to mind. last year it was not Cleary's team and that was the excuse, look at where we are now and it is his team.

 

[Plato]

Pay peanuts you get monkeys. It's not their fault, we need a better TPA setup.

How many did Robbie get yesterday..Earlier in the year you were in the running for the president of the Brooks fan Club..you knew he would always come good… :unamused:

True to form he was riding a little wave of good form….hey I was wrong in my judgement, he hasn't got it like I said last year and the year's before but you keep convincing yourself his a gem

 

[bigsiro]

A defender of Brooks is not someone who wants the best for the Tigers. Period.

 

[Clifferd]

Unless Brooks drastically changes his form around he won’t be needed after 2019\. Straight swap for Cleary

Yes but the 5/8 roll could be a game changer for him defensively great , just can not handle the pressure of running the show.
Even if NC does not come I still would be looking for another 7.
