Wise comment.
Fair statement, lol.

But realistically, he shouldn't be called a kid any more despite his infantile playing ability.

We are looking at a Brooks Hastings partnership.

As long as brooksy can handle someone wanting to actually lead the team around it should work alright

Shut up man . Seriously . It’s getting old . Brooks has been the best player on the field the last 5 weeks . It’s not his fault , when AD is out , the right side turns into a big massive turd , that lets in 50 points a game .

I remember once we played a team , they made a line break down the other side of the field from the 30m , I chased them hard to tackle their strike centre on the goal line , holding him up , with help from our half . I was busted after , as I was a big boy at the time .
You know how my backs respected that play ? The following scrum ,which I packed down in , They let thier small winger from the other side of the field stroll in , in the corner . I looked up to see all my effort , was just a waste of time .Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do .

Telling people to shut up and then recounting a story from your childhood won’t make you any friends or prove your point.
Accept the fact that everybody else doesn’t idolise Brooks like you do.

Childhood ? Lol no , it wasn’t childhood . Much later than that .

It doesn’t matter.
You missed the point.

What’s your problem ? Everytime I call out the brooks bashers you try and come in ,from the top rope . If guys are just going to continually blame 1 player for every loss . I’m gonna defend the kid. It’s straight up crap. It’s brooks now , and when it’s someone else I’ll defend them . Like guys blaming the whole loss on Tommy Talau . He was on the left as well . Sure he let in a try , and gift wrapped another , but he’s still only 1 player .

I hate that about tigers fans . They always look for someone to lynch.
We suck because we suck . It’s not 1 player .
Also I chimed in after 5 comments , not the first .

Do what you gotta do champ.
But friendly reminder for the day...

Brooks is not a kid.
He's almost 27 and has been in the top grade for a long time now.

I’m not saying kid , as “protect the children thing”. Just a general rule that most of these elite footy players are pretty much life noobs . Even at 30 , that’s not exactly ancient in the real world.
It used to annoy me when it was fitzhenry , or whoever.
The only time I can think where it was justified , was the game Jennings played where he dropped 5 high balls and they scored off a few of them , and some of the Ben Teo games , and that Mitchell Moses game where he dogged it before he left .
Most of the time it’s all 17 players .
And everytime our half plays well it’s cause the other team is crap , and when he plays poorly it’s “see!!!” . Unrealistic standards .

All good , I just wish we could all be objective , including me . I find myself sticking up for the guy , just because I know he’s going to get the blame for every single thing that happens on the field. He has huge flaws for sure , but if we are losing 66-16 , Andrew Johns himself ain’t doing anything to fix that.
When we lose 22-10 and Brooks is invisible , well yea that’s garbage . But it’s extremely harsh to blame the guy cause the right can’t tackle .

10 seasons and no final games.
Let's call a spade, a spade though.

Maybe he's not up to it.

 

[Needaname]

On Hastings he is currently playing at 103kg, which is fair lump for a half. A lot of his problems in the past have been due to a will to win which has caused problems with more senior players when he would call them out about their form in a disrespectful manner. Apparently he has worked on the manner he does that that but is still someone who demands high standards from his team mates. Sounds like the type of person we need as long as his own form is up to scratch.

If he's a leader he needs to be in the halves... hopefully they don't move him around just to accomodate Brooks though. He and Doueihi could be a real nice halves combo, Doueihi also a very good centre if Brooks plays well too.

I think a AD/ Hastings combo lacks pace, the plan is for a Brooks Hastings pairing. Though at 103kg Hastings could play 13.

I’m surprised he weighs that. One thing I’ve noticed is he is a relatively big player 186cm and as you said over 100kg but if he was to play lock I see no evidence in watching recently that his contact is sound enough to cause some damage. I was honestly thinking he’d come here and put on some size coz he doesn’t have the same sting in his tackles that a lock should it’s a far cry from the sort of defence you see from big halves such as Tyson Gamble and Lachlan Lewis.

Nah, wouldn't allow that in my personal and professional life.

I look like you.
But Lebanese and more hair.

More likely to call me old timer.

Yeah I haven't been called kid since I was 4. Funny enough though I'm still called "Little Garry" amongst my family.

Lol, I've had facial hair since I was like 12...
But yeah, Brooks can't grow a Moe but he's definitely no kid.

I was shaving in year 7, had a bum fluff beard before that.

We are looking at a Brooks Hastings partnership.

As long as brooksy can handle someone wanting to actually lead the team around it should work alright

Shut up man . Seriously . It’s getting old . Brooks has been the best player on the field the last 5 weeks . It’s not his fault , when AD is out , the right side turns into a big massive turd , that lets in 50 points a game .

I remember once we played a team , they made a line break down the other side of the field from the 30m , I chased them hard to tackle their strike centre on the goal line , holding him up , with help from our half . I was busted after , as I was a big boy at the time .
You know how my backs respected that play ? The following scrum ,which I packed down in , They let thier small winger from the other side of the field stroll in , in the corner . I looked up to see all my effort , was just a waste of time .Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do .

Telling people to shut up and then recounting a story from your childhood won’t make you any friends or prove your point.
Accept the fact that everybody else doesn’t idolise Brooks like you do.

Childhood ? Lol no , it wasn’t childhood . Much later than that .

It doesn’t matter.
You missed the point.

What’s your problem ? Everytime I call out the brooks bashers you try and come in ,from the top rope . If guys are just going to continually blame 1 player for every loss . I’m gonna defend the kid. It’s straight up crap. It’s brooks now , and when it’s someone else I’ll defend them . Like guys blaming the whole loss on Tommy Talau . He was on the left as well . Sure he let in a try , and gift wrapped another , but he’s still only 1 player .

I hate that about tigers fans . They always look for someone to lynch.
We suck because we suck . It’s not 1 player .
Also I chimed in after 5 comments , not the first .

Do what you gotta do champ.
But friendly reminder for the day...

Brooks is not a kid.
He's almost 27 and has been in the top grade for a long time now.

it is scary to think of our big 4 at the time
Woods Nsw
Tedesco nsw
Moses potentially nsw
Brooks .. yet to play a semi final

I like Brooks if he was storm half or souths or Manly or Roosters they would go close to winning a comp

I’m not saying kid , as “protect the children thing”. Just a general rule that most of these elite footy players are pretty much life noobs . Even at 30 , that’s not exactly ancient in the real world.
It used to annoy me when it was fitzhenry , or whoever.
The only time I can think where it was justified , was the game Jennings played where he dropped 5 high balls and they scored off a few of them , and some of the Ben Teo games , and that Mitchell Moses game where he dogged it before he left .
Most of the time it’s all 17 players .
And everytime our half plays well it’s cause the other team is crap , and when he plays poorly it’s “see!!!” . Unrealistic standards .

I'm not hating, I liked your post.
Just don't like when grown men get called kids.

The first paragraph clears it up somewhat and is quite fair.

I feel you, it's the Lebanese gene... no way could I grow a beard like @cochise mine goes nasty when it's too long

On Hastings he is currently playing at 103kg, which is fair lump for a half. A lot of his problems in the past have been due to a will to win which has caused problems with more senior players when he would call them out about their form in a disrespectful manner. Apparently he has worked on the manner he does that that but is still someone who demands high standards from his team mates. Sounds like the type of person we need as long as his own form is up to scratch.

Spot on. Can only speak like that if you can back it up yourself. And if he can, fantastic, we need voices like that.


Like Mitch Moses?

Yeah, an Origin level half would be nice right now.

Moses?

Yeah. He's in the running which is more than any of our lot are. That team will have our former fullback, former winger and perhaps our former half. Yeah he's a spoilt brat but the problem is the club, not him. If he still. Played for us we wouldn't mind him. As an aside, to think he was let go by Cleary of all people, who moral grandstanded the entire press conference it was an announced, is a bit rich.

Cleary stuffed up though his son woukd come to Tigers alas he wanted to play with mates.
Moses contract was pulled by Cleary not a great move as it turned out from the club

Wasn't Moses basically already gone at that stage?

If he still played for us he wouldn't have thrown games and I'd probably respect him and cheer him. I always thought he had more talent than Brooks, until he showed he was a cat. Zero respect, cant/won't cheer him or support him in any team he is in.
