Got the fans off side now.

How? He’s had the fans offside for years. Why now all of a sudden is he untenable?

It's now at its worst....
Media saying he needs a fresh start, "perfect divorce" articles.

Only have to read the comments on IG or Facebook to know how the fans feel...

Pretty straight forward.
Enough is enough.

I get that and have often thought the same...

But there's always two sides to the coin.

Example: when we were talking to Willie Mason and there was some backlash from fans so we didn't offer a deal.

Fans have a voice.
Up the club if they listen though.

As mentioned 100s of times it seems to be A two horse race with with

1 Sack @Madge
Or
2 Move players on

Choice is up to the higher powers.

Tigers are crying out for a leader on the field

The way Hastings barks orders on field in both attack and D he's a pretty dominant type so it'll be certainly welcome.

And that proved to be ridiculous because he went on and had a few good years. I don’t see this is the same though. People had issues with Mason as a person. People are fed up with Brooks as a player. It’s not the fans place to be deciding who stays and who goes because they don’t rate them. That old saying “when you start listening to the supporters, you sit with them”

Always two sides to the coin and like comedian Katt Williams said, people don't say the same thing about some one for years and it not be true.

Brooks is not good enough and will never be good enough.

I remember a comment I made 8 or 9 years ago and you agreed with it... when Pearces team played us, I said current NSW half against future NSW half. Brooks has never delivered.
Has not lived up to the hype.
Actually got worse.
And now he thinks he can unsettle the team by white anting the coach and maybe even.... Tanking games like his boy Mitchell.

It's not just the fans calling for his departure.
It's being discussed in the media hy journalists and former players alike.

If everyone is saying the same thing.... but the club persists and the same results continue. That's just ridiculous...

You don’t know that he’s white anting. You’re basing it off one post that could be total BS. It’s flimsy to just go along with it cos you don’t like him and want him gone.

White anting aside,

From a performance perspective.
That's why I and many others want him gone.

Just like Josh Reynolds when his DV situation broke, although it wasn't true in the end. I was hopeful it could be used as a way out from his contract.
Not because he's a bad guy or whatever but because he couldn't deliver on the field.

Much like Brooks...
I want the club to be successful.
Year after a year we've shown we cannot be with Brooks leading the team around.

Can go around in circles with this.
Brooks has his fans, you may be one of them.
But the fan club has dwindled more and more as the weeks, months and years go on...

Blind Freddy knows he isn't a leader or even a well rounded 7 that will assist in guiding a team to finals.

Club has persisted too long and it's time for a change.
As a wise man once said... ( @Hobbo1 )
Punt him.
 
I'm not Brookes hater but he's for whatever reason is entrenched in a pattern of plays that don't work for us.
For both the club's and his sake he needs to move on.I actually think he will do really well in another, stronger club environment (that hurt writing this).
 
Hastings seems to me more a backup half than a goto. Same with Brooks. Sad that we need to pick at least one to start
 
Question is, if Brooks is moved on and we go with a Madden/Hastings combo to start the year, what happens if one, or both, go down injured?

We have no Doueihi, Mbye or Walters as backups to start next year, whom we could fall back on this year.

So, by default, moving Brooks on is risky, if not least at all for depth.
 
Over the last few weeks when Luke Brooks has been captain and needed to speak up on behalf of his team he never did.

There were even times Luch was yelling at Brooks to come across and talk to the ref to support the team, the ref talked to him and he didn't say a word.

For me.. that was my point that I never want him to play in our team.. he needed to step up and never did.
 
Brooks needs to go its as simple as that since his debut hes had what one or two stand out games he doesn't lead the boys around he doesn't talk hes just existing on that field its time he goes and if he doesn't end up leaving safe to say the club will resign him for another 5 years once his deal is up because they think they can fix him

From your comment, I doubt that you have seen Hastings play. He is a player that leads his team around the park. Has plenty between the ears and has good defense and a spot on kicking game.

Pretty much everything that Brooks has not.
 
personally brooks is better than hastings. However, brooks has to go cause the forum needs a new whipping boy.

where getting lapped by squads equivalent to v8's and were complaining about the air conditioning in our 3 cylinder of squad.

the only thing i am confident about is the squad we have for 2022 will result in a dejavu season regardless of who is coaching and who is wearing the 7.

Thats the issue, he just looks and plays like he doesnt care.
As long as he makes HIS tackles and completes HIS sets thats all he seems to care about.

Lacks leadership and has never really bought in to the culture changes.

You can say the same about Brooks to be fair, he's awful.
