Sheens was not in the picture when Hastings was signed.
OFFICIAL Jock Madden #244
- Thread starter TheDaBoss
- Start date
It being a Madden thread, not a Brooks thread.... we'll leave the spotlight on Madden.
He is impressing and sometimes that's all some one needs, is a chance.
He's demanded selection moving forward.
Very talented half who I believe will only get better. I'd like him to stay in the 17 and obviously halfback is his position.

Had my doubts about him previously but he's looking every bit the first grader this season.
We look much better with him at first reciver. Signs look good.
He's worth persisting with as I said in the game thread.

brooks could learn a thing or two from the last tackle kicks off madden. Im so sick of his lollipop shallow kicks. Besides that madden seemed to demand the ball a lot more and steered the forward pack nicely last night. Tough break on that last play hopefully that isnt the memory that sticks (but probably will be). He does lack creativity, but hey so does the other block whose played like 15 times more games and costs like 7 times more, reckon he'll come good over time hope he doesnt get the shaft when other blokes back, but judging toa's treatment he probably will. Brooks should be considered at 9, despite everything hes got a dart pass off the play the ball that for some reason none of our 'specialist' 9's can do with their abysmal service
He's a handful of games into his career and producing more than a bloke on 900k whose played 180 games. Madden is doing well and has huge upside

I thought Brooks' service from dummy half was pretty slick. Choosing pass left, pass right or pick it up and run is probably in his comfort zone. Madden at half with Brooks rotating in for him and Liddle.

Madge might be playing 4d chess. Keep all the quality players for next year out of the firing line on light duties. Let the dead wood wash away throughout the season.

Newcastle and Joey Johns disagree.

Similar to Brooks but he costs less and could have a longer career in front of him. Don't make him the savior though.
He has a much higher ceiling.
We've seen 9 years of Brooks failings.
I am very confident this is Brooks final year at the Tigers.

Good they can have him. Feel free to follow. One less failure and one less enabler of the clubs toxic culture of blaming everyone else besides lazy arrogant clowns like nofo

Yeh call it lack of confidence, not backing your instincts or even not having any instincts.. we can't let those chances go as we don't get many in the first place. He needs to play touch football for a bit

John’s is fried and Brooks would stink it up wherever he went

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’re playing A grade quality footy and can’t score.

We have to try different things. Our spine is pretty bad. I don't have the answers but I expect it fixed when we start getting consistent minutes out of Doueihi and Hastings. I also can't see Brooks being the answer but let's see what Madge does.

A great headache to have is having Harry Grant and Brandon Smith on the same roster that can cover hooker. We’re 0-4 with the worst roster in the comp. There are no great headaches.

Brooks is still at WTs. If you don't like it, hit the road and you will not be missed.
