Nofa going for 6 like JAC?

He would be deserving of it he tries his heart out every game

Lol he’s the laziest defender you’d ever see

He might have holes in his game but he is one of the first picked every week.

He shouldn’t be picked ever. He’s a flog

Who would we rely on for the dirty metres he always gets from our own half if he wasn't picked.

Pretty much every winger does the same thing now. His defence is unacceptable for first grade

Not sure what game you were watching but nofo was easily one of our best tonight


Wow....I wasnt watching the same game as you.

Nofa was good though man . Especially that second half , people are saying AD was the catalyst for the comeback , but I say it was Nofa .

Seems you dislike AD as much as you love Brooks.
Trying to shift the blame methinks.

No not at all . AD bleeds for us , but that edge defence is garbage , and I’m not going to sit here and say it’s not .

If I was building a game plan , it would be to attack AD between him and Luci . Especially upon second phase . Neither scramble well . It’s why teams attack us down that edge off the kickoff , or next tackle .

Joey off the back fence

lol thats a big run up

Unfortunately he would be puffed out before he got to the advantage line.

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'

Not specifically defending Brooks and definitely not having a go at Moh, but something Ive noticed this year and a LOT tonight, is that with the new rules (not giving up a penalty for offside), when you between 0-20m out, the opposition defence is ALWAYS offside. There is almost zero risk at this ploy. In attack it is easier and we are more dangerous 30-20m out than 10m out.

 

[hank37w]

No shape at all. This is RMC level stuff

We blew a lead and lost that one as well.

 

[KevB]

Looks like I hit a nerve with one of a handful of cupcakes who love the gnome lmao

Punt him he’s crap ..
155 games and he’s still totally inept

Your not going to change your stripes.

You should..
You’re looking sillier each week ?

Pot kettle?

What are you seeing that we aren’t?
Serious question ?

He’s rubbish ..

The coach is the issue. Ivan mentioned it in the SMH article. Like him or hate him, Ivan got the best from him. Maguire must be gone. It has been obvious for weeks. The Board need to act.

So Madge tells him to kick like crap
Madge tells him not to throw a long ball
You’re off your rocker !

So we're getting a lapping and it is the halfback. ?

Mate I am a Brooks fan but he had a shocker. It certainly wasn't all his fault but I don't think him and Doueihi seem to work together. Maybe a change is the answer.

Ok cool . I’ll accept that , but how does that fix the endless line breaks on the other edge ?

Defence wise I thought Brooks went okay, but my view is our middle don't always move up and slide
Slide in defence thus causing panick and poor decisions outside.

Of course . It was 10 in the bin last year , that last 5 minutes , should have had someone sent for that . They were offside the whole time , professional fouls half of it .

We were garbage in defence , and embarrassing IMO , but the refs are being made to look like mugs out there . They need to have a look at themselves , because , 6 agains in the middle of the field where no one including the dude who offended know what it was for , just aren’t cutting the mustard.

 

[Sydtigerfb]

We really sucked. Maybe we need the spoon like other clubs and hit rock bottom. I dont want to introduce my young kids to this team yet ... still young young enough for it to be a positive

 

[Tiger5150]

We came close, at least the happy clappers and Brooks fan boys will be satisfied

I don’t know how you blame brooks for that ? We bombed 3 tries , had Cini drop every kick / let in every trycome his way (he’s a kid in his second game so he gets a pass , but it doesnt take away from the effect) .

What did the star highly paid HB do this game?

Nothing , he was invisible , but he didn’t lose us the game is my point . Our right , again is god damn hopeless defensively .

How many teams with invisible HB’s win? None. Your support is admirable but nonsensical

Are you normal? We lost because our defence was garbage . Do you people go to sleep when the other team have the ball ? Or do you think it’s u7s , you score I score ?

Sorry, I was responding to a brooks supporter saying he was invisible? I’m not normal no, just a heck lot more switch on than you son / or gal.

By blaming a loss 36-28 on our lack of attack ? Yea ok . You have no idea .

No just LUKE BROOKS to be clear

Mate you’ve got problems . No joke . Beyond delusional scape gloating .

I think I might have watched this team longer than you mate / friend. I supported him for about 7 years to be clear.

What ? Um…….. 21 years ? am I guessing right ? Just a stab in the dark . Maybe I imagined going to opening home game in 2000. But yea you’re right mate.

I was the 88 and 89 grand finals you child

Cool , I was also there but I was 5 , and that was Balmain and not at all relevant .

So you are mid thirties and don’t understand what a HB should do. All good mate. 88 and 89 were amazing years if you were lucky enough. Sad but amazing and far from what we have now. Freeman over Brooks?

I understand exactly what a halfback should do . And I once again am not saying he played well , not even a little bit . But he was NOT the reason we lost . We let in 36 points , and infinite line breaks , dropped the ball at will and couldn’t get into the grind . I count 1 actual mistake from brooks which was that crap grubber .

Like I said , swap him for madden , cool , but we will still get lapped as our other edge is bleeding 30 points a game . I’m sick of winning/ losing games 36-28 . It’s bull crap . And it’s been going on 10 years . Anyone defending it by saying the attack should have been better have no idea . We scored 5 tries and bombed another 2 OVER THE LINE. That’s 7 TRIES !!! awe should be winning every single game . But nope we are on here debating about scoring 8-9 tries because , our defence is a god damn joke .
So yes I do understand football , and have a listen and think to the math of what your actually saying .

Mind blowing that anyone argues otherwise.

There are only a couple of these Brooks boys left, god knows what they see when they watch Brooks try play


We lost **36** - 28. We conceded 18 points in 3 sets in 5 minutes.

Luke Brooks made 20 tackles and missed 1.

yeah sure.....Luke Brooks lost this game for us.

Sarcasm aside, this is ridiculous. Luke Brooks hasnt been brilliant this year, but he didnt have a bad game today and didnt lose this game for us. Nofo's defence, Cini gave up the ball 5 times in our 30 on the first tackle, but you guys blame Brooks.

Brooks has had some poor games this year, but this level of obsession means that I can ttake any of your opinions seriously. you dont know Rugba Leag.

There’s a lot of duds in this team but Brooks is the half and therefore the player with most responsibility. His job isn’t to make 20 tackles, it’s to guide the team, build pressure by getting repeat sets and put on a few plays. He doesn’t do any of that. He’s crap. Stop defending him.

 

[Tiger5150]

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

I guess it depends on how you define success. Never playing finals football is largely a failure in my book.

Playing 150 games in first grade versus nuffies on a forum is largely a success in my book.

 

[Sydtigerfb]

I think Brooks is quite lost in poor team. I also think he knows that the English player is coming to replace him. He is so different to 2018 when he was the best half in the league.

 

[KevB]

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

You’re kidding aren’t you? I don’t care if it was his 1st or 400th game. He had a shocker of absolutely epic proportions and made it near impossible for us.

This isn’t under 10’s where everyone gets a go. He absolutely shat the bed like nothing I’ve ever seen before and the consequence of that is that he will probably never play first grade again.

I guess you haven't played too much footy mate. Rave on if it makes you feel good.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Waiting for the presser. This is not what wt are about. Blah blah blah blah

I am so over Madge, we came out again and looked like we just had Christmas lunch, what the hell does he say to them to put them to sleep before each game

Wests Tigers haven’t been able to string two performances together in 10 years. It’s bigger than Madge. The rot is in the walls and starts at the top.

We have not had a smart 7 for 10 years....

Put Scott Prince in today and we win.

Put an add in the paper then. We need a half back but he has to be able to create eight tries and make no errors cos the team can’t tackle.

Add in the paper, seek, LinkedIn, indeed, local pub

Advertise on Grindr. Might someone with a bit of flair.

Elton John would go better at halfback than Brooks, at least he’d bring some passion and creativity.... boy George even!


So both Tiger8 and TigerneddyK BOTH dabble in homophobia....cant imagine how I confused the two of them, both joining the same day.

Is there a mod watching this ? Please get this poster to stop with the accusations and insults directed at me personally. I feel I am being baited to respond in a manner that will get me banned. I am not interested in feuding with an unknown random on the internet, I am just hoping to converse and socialise with Tigers supporters that have a passion for the team like I do.. it is hard enough losing and taking it to heart like I do and finding this place as a refuge and now being subjected to this incitement and provocation?

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?***

Lets hang him!

Lots of keyboard warriors out there. Forwards suck. Still a Dally m half back

 

[Tigertragic83]

Think everyone needs to go watch the tries they scored. Mbye needs to go. I know everyone likes to bash brooks, but he wasn't dropping off tackles or shirt grabbing. We have Tommy talau back next week thank God

 

[hank37w]

And Cini drops it in goals, but its alright, half time.

Surely we can't play any worse in second half...

Cini's confidence must be rock bottom now. Not sure if he will be able to get over this and if he doesn't, it won't be long before people on this forum start calling him Sack Cini.

Attack was very poor and too much arm grabbing in defense by this team.

After sitting through that pathetic display out at the ground, I am going to have some beers at home and give the rest of this thread a miss because my mental health just won't allow me to read any more.

Longest losing streak for any half in history. Success?
