5 mins on the clock, you’re in the opposition 20 and you’re down by 2. Who do you want at halfback - brooks or Hastings? Obviously Hastings every day of the week. That’s the bottom line. Brooks wouldn’t have a clue what to do.

Down by two, kick a field goal 🤣
I remember a rugby bookend did that, nailed it and lost 🤣.
A league player did too, can't remember who it was??

Maybe if we were 40 out!

Yep. I disagree about everything apart from Gildart being an average player and Lodge being bad news.

Tedesco being smart is hilarious. Have you heard him talk. He took the easy path. That isn't being smart in my books. It's soft.

You are obviously a very moral man, and i admire that, but i am a realist with far more bumps along a longer road. It changes your outlook Earl.

Greg Inglis 2016 vs Drag Queens down 8-6.
I still laugh at that.

Thats my thinking too. There's no morals involved in work IMO. he made the right choice for his career.

We won 4 games.
We've never won 4 games in our history
We didn't win 4 games with Ben Black or Ben Jeffries pulling the strings...

Some saviour.....

Coaching director sabotaged the season.

 

[Tucker]

He beat every other halfback that year as well, not just Pearce who missed 10 games. I’m just as frustrated with LB as most on here but nobody can dispute him winning that award. With a much stronger pack in ‘23 I just hope he can get it together. We don’t have any other options!

You can easily dispute it. There is a fatal flaw in the dissemination of votes in the Dally M system.
If you are a decent player in a good team you may struggle to attract points as there is a lot more competition. If your side won by 40 and you had a 8/10 game you could walk away with no Dally M points as 5 blokes had a 8/10 game…luck of the draw.
Likewise, if you are a decent player in a poor team you are likely to score points everytime you win. Your side may win a very lucky game by 2, you put in a 6.5/10, yet bank 3 Dally M points as you are the big name player and you weren’t aweful.

Or, you were simply the best of a bad bunch? And isn’t that what Brooks has been?

Being the better of a bad bunch at Wests Tigers does not equal best halfback in the competition. Thats the problem I am alluding to.

 

[cktiger]

Yep. Who cares about the tripper,
He's a Knight now. Didn't see Klemmer
come out and talk on his former
club in any article since his move -
says a lot. Especially considering
It's reported he fell out with coaches.
I'm riding with Brooksy to glory

Well, Klemmer wanted to go…. didn’t get pushed.
As for Brooksy … 9 years of diddly squat thus far.

Ah well I’d rather celebrate when our team/players achieve success (as it doesn’t happen often) than continue to flog a dead horse.

No it doesn’t, but it sounds good and certainly doesn’t infer that he is the worst half in the NRL either.

 

[cktiger]

Notice he’s not wearing the 7?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Notice has not wearing the 7?

That's called being a team player, perhaps one of the reasons Sheens wants him to stay after 2023. Notice there was no sulking, whining or tannys about it.

No sulking, whining or tannys from Hastings either.
He has said he was happy to play anywhere… Sheens is just the last in a long line that’s been fooled by Mr Non Achievement Brooks.

2018 half-back of the year.......... 😂

I don’t think we’ll ever hear the end of it

I'm hopefully for a 2023 halfback of the year season performance.
