Luke Brooks #167

All we can do , is stack the team full of the best juniors we possibly could . To be fair to your comment , many games last year Bula did something when either nothing was on , or ….. 6 points saved is as important as 6 points scored , we also saw Bula save tries when there was no chance . At least 10 times from memory . once or twice , good stuff! every game , well that’s uncanny .

Bula was amazing. We need him to keep elevating to a point where he’s a constant threat.

Only issue is, opposition mobs know he is our only attacking threat and will be gunning for him.
Need at least one player to put their hand up as an alternative to him with ball in hand.

I didn't say they were the same quality of player, just simply that Brooks has a bigger boot than Luai and Sezer. you ever seen Luai kick a 40/20, or put a ball deep in a corner from inside his own half? didn't think so. he's got some work to do.

Oh FFS Brooks has a pea shooter for a boot .. some of his bombs were chop kicks , his placement was terrible and his strategic use of it was beyond inept .. he used to kick it dead , on the full sometimes, when we were looking for a repeat set .. he used to fail to find touch .. he used to kick it straight to the fullback when the team needed it to go out to get a scrum and a breather .. the guy was really the NRLs answer to wile e coyote when it came to smart football .. he had absolutely no ability to ice a game or control a game or organise plays or the attack .. he used to go missing in the red zone consistently whenever we needed a half to step up .. I cannot believe Sheens hadn’t seen enough in the 10 years preceding his arrival to know Brooks was not up to it .. it leads me to believe sheens did Zero research into the team before signing on for another payday , which he ended up getting , again … Moley carries on as though Sheens was hard done by , FFS he was extremely well paid and imo he really didn’t care that much .. his planning last year was disjointed and the selections of Talau and Kepoa and the positional changes were non sensical , showing a distinct lack of care .. anyway , Brooks had gone to Manly , I wish him well as he has always looked to be a terrific person , a lovely young man but he just was not what this club needed to achieve success on the football field ..

He’s gone mate. No need to blow a valve.

Apparently, Voldemort was facing multiple Grievous Bodily Assault Charges for continually kicking grubbers into the legs of the defending team. 🙄 🤣 🐱 🍻

Then the next argument is about him always kicking it dead for a 7 tackle set....
Somehow, His boot is a pea shooter and too big all at the same time....

He kicked in dead twice last season. Somehow kicking dead is the first criticism always thrown at him. I've given this stat about a dozen times this off season and still it's every fool's go to criticism.
