**live game feed** us vs the Titans

[rustycage]

We still scored 28 points. It's the defence that's the issue isn't it? I get the Brooks thing, but is he really the reason we're losing? I don't think so.

Brooks standing out in the critical minutes. Wow what a player

Brooks would make a real solid weekend A grade park footballer,....


Im loving this little ***double team*** effort on Brooks by "tiger8" and "tigerneddyk". Two blokes who both *just happened* to join ***exactly 13 days ago*** and both just happen to have a pathological hatred for Luke Brooks.

Im not saying this is the case but how ***pathetic*** would your life have to be to create a couple of alt forum accounts to slander a bloke who has at least put a lifetime of effort in to make first grade and an 150 game career in NRL. Yeah Brooks might have a few bad games but he will never reach the ***pathetic*** level of someone creating forum alts to moan about someone who is actually successful.

Brooksy never let us down with his body in front of the attackers, and they threw some heat at him but he stood up.... or should I say, got back up every time.

Haha, we didn’t do it

That doesn’t suit the narrative on the forum

Awful game to watch, probably one of our worst.
Too many passengers: Mbay, Cini, Brooks, Tamou, Twal. Tamou and Twal must be the worst props in the NRL!
Refs again made catastrophic error, Liddle caught a guy offside and he still tackled him, even those biased idiots Ginnane and Anasta were screaming 10 minutes, but as per usual, nothing from useless bunker.
Our defence was ordinary, and attack without any idea.
Whole sale change is required:
Amone for Tamou
Simpkins for Twal
Madden for Brooks
Cooper for Cini
Hoffman/Talau for Mbye

The best : Laurie, Mikaele, Ofahengaue, and (2nd half) Nofoaluma and Doueihi.

You missed one.

Liddle to start. Simpkin benched.

Bad pass from Brooks to Garner


Are you guys serious? How are you supposed to put a backrower "through a hole" if it doesnt hit his chest as he hits the line?

Brooks and Lawrence did it for years and were both praised for it. When Garner was praised in his debut year, it was the same line and pass. For gods sake dont rely on Braith for your football knowledge.

Since the dawn of time and Rugba Leeeg, the pass hitting a second rower/centre as he hits the line has been a staple. Hit the middle of his chest.

Yea , but I was taught that when you throw the short ball , it has to be soft hands , and brooks launches it into the chest . Garner had hands like feet tonight . You want to talk about blowing tries , what about his 2 .

I thought Liddsy should have come on with 10 to go in the 1st half.

Is there a way to vote whether Luke Brooks should be in the side? Maybe a broad vote would silence my apparent dissent (fan boys/girls win)?

I find it funny that we lose tonight by letting 30+ points and score 20+ yet Brooks is the one everyone goes after.

After a game like tonight Cini & Mbye should be called out.

Sure Brooks is struggling but geez we have alot bigger issues than him in our squad at the moment.

Nope, we really don't.

Brooks IS the biggest issue. Set after set, camping in the opposition 20 and we get nothing from him. Zero.

Yes we have plenty of other problems, but this one we've had the longest.

And don't compare a 2 game rookie with a 150+ game 'halfback'

This is my biggest gripe with Brooks, we have field position on the opposition line set after set with Brooks offering nothing. The players lose faith and drop their heads, this leads to bad defense and points conceded straight away

We completed 40 sets compared to the Titans 26 ...

Cini hasn't played in a team this bad since under 7's. We've got to him.

Umm Cini is a huge part of why we’ve been so bad. I would honestly say it’s the worst individual display I’ve ever seen. On par with the infamous Manu Vatuvei game against the Eels many years ago.

I guess you have played rugby yourself, if so I'm sure you maybe had a few shockers yourself, it happens mate. Give him a break it's only his 2nd NRL game. Hopefully he gets a chance to redeem himself

Thats cool and I dont disagree to much with your position....but. We lost by 8. What if I told you that we lost by 8 but ONE PLAYER was responsible for giving them the ball in our 30m on the first tackle...***5 times?***

Absolutely. I wonder how Maguire missed the need for a change up?

Does that happen Hobbo? I feel the forum is a fan boy club?

Why don't you let the new coach decide if he wants Brooks in his team? I believe that is a fair outcome.

Is there a way of voting on who you and NeddyK are the alts of? My money is on either Hobbo or IsaakTiger. Can the mods look at IPs?

Mate I am new to the forum. And members like you are why the club doesn’t win

 

[hobbo1]

A pass to Twal results in a wasted tackle.

Every pass from the 3rd tackle onwards is a waste to Twal.

Needs an offload ..something.. anything
