Genuine footy IQ

[Winston Churchill]

Brooks just needs more time. He is young and will learn the craft of being a first grade halfback as he matures.

Do you know he also won a Dally M?

Passing for the sake of passsing. That’s all they were doing. No purpose behind the passes, no one running hard lines
Side to side. Full of crap and of the top shelf quality.
200 passes a day my backside.

I hate to say this...but we have multiple players who are mentally just not up to it. Multiple players with zero footy IQ.

Overlaps not seen, misreads, bad play options taken, schoolboy errors from senior players...

Not know how to build pressure...not see on the 3rd tackle what plays 5 and 6 will look like.

When you hear Cronk, Townsend and co...they "know" footy. They read games.

We have multiple players who simply can't. They just play what is in front of them, but they can't see the play ahead.

You all know who they are. The same spine players and outside backs...for a long time.

You just can't have a team where 3/4 of the key playmakers have no footy nous.

Nothing will change until they go.

B-b-but Dally M halfback of the year 2018!!!!!1!1!!!

I hadn’t heard this mentioned much at all, thanks for the info.

I know you are being sarcastic...but I have seen people continually raise that.

Milford almost won the whole medal...and was within one play of winning grand final MOTM...

Using the Brook's logic, Milf should be starting for the Phins.

Instead...they have worked out addition by subtraction and won 2-2

All this coming from Luke Brooks no 1 fantasy.

Maybe instead of collecting a premiership ring ever again to which I don't ever see, the NRL could introduce a ring for the dumbest side throughout the year in the comp. That we are guaranteed from the start.

The problem is we had a smart number 7 and punted him and kept the lord of zero footy iq

I dunno Hastings did nothing today and his general kicking and goal kicking were ordinary.

Knights shifted well and their outside backs are dangerous. That's it. And they defended with a lot of heart.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Every decent 2nd to 3rd string half, ices that game.

Gamble iced the game for the Knights, he is a noted 2nd/3rd string for years.

He does an enormous amount off the ball, talking and directing. He makes smart 5th tackle options and can read the play. He’s not the best halfback in the league but he was passionate about the tigers and wanted to be there. You can’t say the same about brooks….

Brooks was the best half. The issue for us was that AD was so poor.

Hastings didn’t do anything nor out played Brooks today.

Gamble was the difference from a halves perspective which says alot on both sides.

AD cost us big time today & was terrible.

I seriously don't get it. I crucified Brooks last week but he was good today. Hastings to me was okay but I didn't see anything to think we've made a terrible decision.

Brooks is here and Hastings isn't. I think it's pretty obvious who wanted to be here as well.

People aren't watching the game.

I didn't think Gamble was good. He made a lot of mistakes.

No you can't say that about Brooks. Brooks had some nice attacking moments but his overall game control was non-existent. He barely seemed to even kick today and his runs were almost entirely pre-meditated. I've had enough.

Gamble was horrendous I don't know either. Knights iced a few backline moves that Tigers totally botched in defence. We improved the D when IP switched to the right.

Gamble iced the game for the Knights, he is a noted 2nd/3rd string for years.

And 1000% better than anything we put on the field today.

Side to side! We used to have a half that did a lot of that.

He did outplay Brooks.
He led a team of injured and at times ill disciplined players to victory over Luke. As an individual, Brooks was better. As a halfback, Hastings outplayed him.
