Yeah - Has nothing to do with the standards set by the blokes on that list who'd played 100+ games before 2012...
Blokes who've played for tier one nations before 2012....

We'll just start it in 2013 - That way, we can make it look like it's ALL the 18 yr old kid who played one game that year - His fault - All of it.
Cause, You know - none of it could possibly be Farahs' fault - Who's played 150 games before your list, Origin and International Football....
Also played in 6/10 complete seasons you're listing....
Similar with Marshall (Bar Origin) - Similar with Lawrence (Bar Origin) and Blair... Galloway, Woods....

We'll just blame it ALL on the 18 year old Halfback
- Came through grade with no senior half of note...
It's ALL on him, ALL of it..

Whatever, You do - Don't forget it - ALL OF IT - You hear....

couldn't agree more!

Ah yes, here comes batboy to blame everyone but Brooks.

Tell me, are you capable of removing your lips from Brook's ass for one second without simultaneously blaming everyone and everything else for his near decade of failure?

Robbie Farah and Benji Marhall won us a premiership in 2005 and took us within a point of another GF in 2010 and took us to the semi's in 2011. They showed what they're capable of whilst your favourite player struggles to put two consistent performances together in his 10 year career.

But let's play your stupid little game for a sec. We'll remove 2013 from Brook's career highlights even though that one game is arguably his best one. How many finals have we gone to in the rest of his time? But that's obviously everyone's else's fault right? Marshall's, Farah's, the coaches, the forward pack?

What's your excuse this year because he's doing the same shit that he has done for 90% of his career? Let me guess, it's the backs fault now?

Brooks is obviously not solely responsible for the past near decade but he has contributed to it massively and to pretend otherwise indicates that you are either watching games with your head up your ass or you're related to Brooks.

Please enlighten us all as to what skills he brings on the field that elevates this team.
 
Brooks plays with heart. Never tanked. Team player. Made of heart. He is just not a 7. Why can't Sheens consider lock. Maybe not half back material. Just if a team is picked on heart - all that they put in - then Brooks is in the first few picked. Aside that. We need a general. 2 In fact. One in the office and one on the field.
 
So much rubbish.

I'll just answer one point......."Api's form has dropped"
If you know what you're watching, then you'd realise that Api's form hasn't been off. It's taken the dummies around him until the last couple of rounds to work out how to play with him.
That one sentence lets us all know that someone hasn't really got much of an idea.

Also love how everyone has been banging on about Apis' form dropped since he's been at the Tigers - How's that the halves fault?
Api is the one giving them the ball....

Everyone says our forwards are killing it, If that were the case - Our Hooker would be killing it as he's first up with the ball from them.
Outside the last couple games (Against stronger sides) that we were in until the death
- Api's also been off...

Because if the halves aren't firing, Api's running around over playing trying to make up for it and it's affecting his game.

Sign him for 4 more years. Him Tedesco & Woods to take the coaching reigns once the whole sheens Benji Robbie plan fails

To a point - But it all starts at him, And the bloke playing the ball to him....
He's the highest calibre player we have, With the most big game experience and the captain....
Be silly not to expect he's there to drag a few with him, No?

Of course and I reckon he's improving as the guys are working out his game as well but how far can he bring the guys with him. There's only so much one player can improve a squad. We are doing everything right in attack just not turning possession and field position into points.

38 points the last 2 games. Happy to be fact checked on this one.

I don't think Api is the issue at all but if we can't logically define the issue what do we do. We can definitely score points.
 
LB will never get dropped unless he get injured
🍀🤞JINX
Then we might actually start winning 😂
Btw it also proves that he's not trying hard enough by staying injury free for soo long 😁
 
Tim Sheens said:
Not debating the change, or even the possibility of such on opinions, simply commenting on the few that feel a need to attack him or any other repeatedly.

Anyone can be excused for the occasional hot headedness or such, but not those that continually attack others. It would not be tolerated on here a year or so back, and should not be now either.

last time some "supporters" wished injury on Brooks, AD went down for the next 12 to 16 months. Shouldn't wish injury on any player that is bad form

50 against.
Out scored by two teams who both lost the possession, missed tackles and negative plays (errors, penalties, infringements) stats.
We should be well above the 19 point average for these weeks based upon these game day statistics.

Yes agreed.
He should be dropped.

he won't be dropped who will take his place Laurie ... lol
it is just ironic that it was some of the AD Acolytes that were cheering on injuries to Brooks.
I'm not an AD fan as a 6 but would never wish injury on him.
