I don't mind the idea of an extra half - Bellamy is ahead of the rest and he has been doing something similar this season. Watch Harry and B.Smith playing together, they actually run the plays and dictate direction in attack while Hughes and Munster play eyes up and kick. Then they have Hynes/Paps on the field as well - so many ball players and guys who can lead the play. This is what makes them so good (besides the quality finishers and tough forward pack).
My point is that the old style rugby league is exactly that... specific roles and numbers for positions is a thing of the past. At the WTs if it's not a one out forward hitting it up, it's Brooks at first receiver nearly every play - there are no other options, every play is broadcasted and easily read.

I’ve come to the possible realisation that Brooks actually doesn’t care anymore. Constantly when the media talk about our players that are just happy to be footballers is the quote they use, I think Brooks is one of them. He’s the highest paid player at the club and for whatever reason is un droppable so I think he is past the point of caring. I’d say I fear for his mental health but it must be something different because no player who really cares about footy would be happy to get berated every year by the fans and the media. He no longer has Instagram so he can’t see much on there, so I am of the full belief Luke just does not give a shit. Even if he were dropped I’d be surprised to see him go somewhere else, I think he’d be stoked making all that money on the bench.

I reckon Sheens will have some real interesting ideas on how to play the game these days.

I hope so but how would you know, he might be stuck in the past.

He never was in the past, always changing with the game or changing the game.
