Luke Brooks #167

But you are. Why would you bag another human that did his best for us? I dont get it.

It is hard to understand how so much hatred and abuse is directed at one person who is a member of an organisation of 120 plus?
If only Brooks had taken control of the board 10 years ago? LOL
He has tremendous courage to put up with all the crap being flung at him. Sandwiched between manager, club, fan abuse, and Stockholm syndrome, he was being worn down. It visibly showed.
As they say, if you find yourself in hell, keep going, and he did.
Brooks is playing good footy in a supportive team environment and wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Madge calls him back into the Blues training squad.

Coaches fault x4, Benji, Farah, forwards, backs, height of the wingers,

Yet we're all here screaming for upgrades on all the above....

Funny how they didn’t take us to new heights this year with him gone. It’s almost as if…Oh idk, he wasn’t our biggest problem

Brooks goes to Manly.
Manly improves from 12th in 23 to 7th in 24 and into 2nd week of finals.
Meanwhile the WT go from spoon in 23 to spoon in 24, with probable favouritism for spoon in 25.
Gosh, I’m forgetting about their top try scorer, how remiss of me. Yes certainly Tommy Talau‘s 17 tries contributed to Manly’s success.

Dogs could easily have thwarted Brooks and DCE’s brilliant scrum play by simply pushing.
Brilliantly executed play by the Manly halves. NRL needs more of this teamwork type plays instead of relying on individual brilliance.

I agree. That was a thing of beauty

Tommy was so under appreciated. A victim of being in a poor team.

He wasn't the problem but definitely wasn't the solution.

He wasn't the problem but definitely wasn't the solution.

Sorry to be nitpicky but he was our biggest problem because he was in such a key position, the problem was that we picked the wrong man for the wrong job.

Just like Benji right now. We have given the wrong man the keys. I'm sure Benji is trying his best just like Brooks did but neither of them have the skillset to do the job required.

So far Richo has done what?

Luke Brooks

My King
My savior
He will guide us
To wooden spoon glory

Yet we still prosper in his greatness.

Amen

...God I miss when Brooksy was the only blame for our wooden spoon. Times were more simple then. Now the common theme is that - IT'S COMPLICATED!

Its kind of like asking 10 people what woke means and you get back 10 different answers

We were no better with Brooks. How much he contributed to it or didn't you can argue about to till the cows come home because people had long enough to make up their minds about it - that's providing you are a club first supporter.
If not you know where to find him.

WTF is a club first supporter?

 

[BAGNF05]

A guy who gave ten years service to WT now has an opportunity to eliminate the Rortsters and Storms in consecutive weeks. If you aren’t behind that you’re a club second supporter. 🤪

If you are all aligned with a player (personally) over club you follow a player. I doubt Brooks family are still attending Wests Tigers game.

I follow the sport passionately and Brooks succeeding is a cool narrative after he couldn’t personally overcome the many problems at Wests Tigers.many a good man couldn’t.

Wests Tigers aren’t playing any competitive footy today so I’ll get behind Brooks. Each to their own.

That’s the simple explanation.
Now that he and Brooks have gone though, is it just coincidence that “we’ve had a very successful year”? according to Richo.
It doesn’t feel like a successful year to me? Considering the quality of the players we’ve lost? Sure we have a few decent players arriving but we’re a club that can turn decent players into ineffective players.
So where is the tangible evidence of success?

I feel you’ve misquoted Richo pretty poorly there.
