Is it time?

With such a depleted team I would be wary. Just go back to Miller until we can surround Brooks with a few of our regulars. Season looks a bit of a write off, but you don't want to rush things if he is not ready.

for Brooks to come into consideration.
Anasta has a groin problem.
I don't think they're one week injuries but I'm no doctor.

I strongly believe that Wests Tigers should be looking at why these injuries are occuring. Are they due to the Wanda sandhills pre-season training?
 
Wouldn't mind betting Potter shifts Moltzen now. He's got 12 days between games now and a chance to conjure up a little combo with Sirro if needed. If Anasta misses time, it may be the best way to go.
 
No way gotta let the little fella grow . I would go moltz and Siro if Anasta is no good but hopefully the week off will help

Lets feed our best prospect in years to the wolves . Injuries happen the club will have to deal with it without resorting to playing boys!
 
I don't want to see Brooks out there yet but I haven't seen him play. Is he good enough now ? Can he handle the pressure and pace of first grade ?
 
I'd give him a go - give him a taste of the big time and also see how he goes against the big boys - i wouldn't leave him there log term though unless he really kills it - either that or Moltzen to half - Anasta is just too slow and doesn't threaten the defence.
 
Brooks played well today but even on that score I wouldn't suggest promoting him at this stage give Miller or Moltzen a go at half if need be.

A great prospect…... But not ready for the rigours of 1st grade , not a good defender

We won't find out how good he is until he is tried
 
I dunno…I've been adamant in not playing him recently. But...maybe it's time? But i'd probably rather moltz/sirro. But then that leaves the wing open...

Up to potter, is he up to first grade for a couple of games while benji, anasta and koroibete return?
 
Needs to play consistently well in State Cup first. Throwing him straight in at NRL level would be detrimental in my opinion. If Miller is promoted back to NRL then give Brooks a go in his place in State Cup. Otherwise, leave him where he is.
 
im a massive fan, id hold off for the time being, let him play more nyc and more time as a full time footballer to develop and bring him in late in the season

Why would we give him a go when we have a natural playmaker playing at fullback who has a heap of first grade experience.

It's too early when we have options available to us.

Because i would play Moltzen at 5/8, Tedesco f/b and Sirro in the centre - our attack is woeful - we have used 2 halfbacks in 6 games and it has gone from bad to worse - i believe Potter will move Moltzen to the halves which realistically is the right thing to do but i would honestly like to see how Brooks handled it for a couple of games.
