Most other teams have an ability to get to the 4th or 5th tackle.

Here is how each of our attacking raids finished in order. It seems obvious that any chance to attack was killed before it began, or a poor option was taken by another spine player. Which errors do you think were brooks fault? Or perhaps you are just seeing what you want to see.

Paps pass intercepted by young ruled touched by Newcastle

Brook run from scrum. Newcastle ruled offside

Korisau to Uto, dropped ball

Kepoa knocked on forward Talau picked up. Knock on called

Laurie kicks it out on the full

Try disallowed, twal taking out defender, AD utilised Shepard

Papalii knock on

Brooks run, pass to Laurie. Laurie taken out penalty with sin bin dom young

Twall knock on over the line

Kepoa try

Api to tumeth knock on

Seyfarth knocks forward onto brooks.

Second half

Fitzgibbon high tackle on kepoa

AD pushed pass intercepted by gamble

Brooks kicks to in goal. Repeat set

Nofa hospital pass to Simpkin, Simpkin smashed and knocked on

Seyfarth plays ball simpkin knocks on

Simpkin smashed again, high tackle penalty and sinbin

Korisau bad grubber, Newcastle ball

AD bomb, Dom Young catches

Api loose offload, ??? knock on instead of diving on it

Uto ball stripped one on one

Toa kicks and ball fielded out by Newcastle. Repeat set

Brooks kick, forced out by Newcastle LiNe drop out.

(for those that know more than me, was battered out over the sideline. Why was it a line drop out and not our PTB?)

AD knocks on trying to PTB

Uto try

Brooks field goal attempt miss. End of game

Geez, Wowzaa
Credit for that mate
 
We are reduced to defending the players we like best who continually fail, by deflecting blame on the ones equally as responsible for our poor performance who we don't rate. If that doesn't stink of desperation I don't know what does.
We lost in diabolical circumstances and no one can walk away from that game thinking that was FG standard.

Problem here is you don’t list the things Brooks didn’t do that he’s paid a $million plus to do. Like manage the game, control the pace and get us over the line… like every other $million dollar plus halfback does.

He created two genuine try scoring opportunities including the overlap Doueihi muffed, won a restart, a 40/20, brought Frizell down on our try line, caught the runaway Knights' player after Doueihi threw the intercept, put Laurie into space with the inside ball when he was miraculously pulled down by that great tackle by the prop. If a few more players demonstrated his commitment we would have won.

If everyone was paid a $million bucks a year like him you mean?

That was so hard to read, let alone watch!! When you analyse it like that it’s amazing we only lost by 2.
 
I sound like a broken record. I’m literally convinced the Freemasons are involved in the club and are the reason why Brooks continues to have a career on a ridiculous salary. The guy is a miniature version of Matt Groat and as lame.

Things are that bad with the decision makers at the club it makes the catholic church look transparent in the way they handled complaints about priest child molesters.
 
Just went through the game stats on nrl.com.
They killed us in the simple stuff.
Maybe the coaching staff have to get the group to concentrate on the basics, I hate 5 hit ups and a kick footy but Newcastle won the game because their tackle sets gained them a lot more ground and field position.
Both sides were error prone and also defensively we get overlapped far more than other sides .
Would have to watch the videos to see whether the problems are from the inside defence or outside.
The good sides will slaughter us if that's not fixed.

Across his 16 appearances, yeah.

Exactly, across his 16 appearances he played 3 as halfback giving him 3 opportunities to win as a halfback.

If you remember last year, Hastings was halfback. Brooks was 6 Nullifying any opportunity that badly worded stat of “winning with brooks as halfback” of happening.

Glad we are on the same page.
 
I’m super late to the party after last Sunday but only just watched the game. What can I say that hasn’t been said? Newcastle weren’t great but they shamed us big. Our attack is just appalling and the errors are killing us. If we just reduced the error count in the attacking zone we would have won the last two weeks. The sideways play and indecision is not 1st grade. It’s shameful and embarrassing. We’ve got to fix this fast. Not much to take away but our D wasn’t too bad. We could have given up and they put another 30 on us. We made good metres at times but that was against another ordinary team. Just didn’t know what to do after that. Douehi is so bad atm. He fought to be number 6 but he’s not earning it. Some very bad calls and errors there he needs to smarten up. I do like Kepaoa in the back row. Not expecting to win against the Doggies but I’d like to see better decision making, handling and attack. I don’t mind the look of the team this week with a few injuries forcing change. Staines at fullback should be a good indication of who get to stay in that position.
