Luke Brooks #167

[Winston Churchill]

But he did win an award in 2018, so theres that.

 

[earl]

plus I'm hoping we don't go down the multiple captain path again.

Are you stating Brooksy as sole captain ?

 

[Winston Churchill]

I know but they need more meat on the bone !
There are a few on here who would ask some doozies !

Pre-written and scripted, he aint ever going out 'live' to answer the real questions.

Pretty embarrassing and telling, the guy that's played 180 odd games, the main playmaker for a decade, plays a position that's considered the 'General' of your team, the on field leader/talker/director, a one team player isn't thought of first as captain material among the wider public. Sums up Brooks career as sub par NRL material perfectly.

Alright mate we get it. Re hashing the same thing over & over ain't gonna change anything.

Just tell us one more time how great he really is, hes just been playing coy for a decade and that he won an award in 2018. Haven't heard that for 20 mins.

I hold the same thoughts as you, but sitting here saying it over & over again isn't going to change anything.

So if we’re using Brooks doing the interview as a captaincy guide then maybe we can slot in Klemmer as well.
Or maybe it’s DK captain and LB vice captain ?
Or isn’t that fashionable anymore.

No, he doesn't, if we get there it'll be off the back of the forward pack, not Brooks.

I backed Brooks for years Chunk, years!! However insane it was to back a losing horse year after year. I do however question 'fans' that are not calling for the head of the teams playmaker that has failed at his job in a decade resulting in the Tiger's not making the finals in his entire tenure and think magically the yearly call of "one more year" is going to mean something. Think of any other professional sport/team on the planet that would have persisted with their main playmaker for a decade of failure. These threads and opinions have been going on about him since 2015 with every excuse under the sun. Each year without fail, its always give him one more season.

Until he looks like having a go, which he hasn't for years, I wont support him as a player at all. He doesn't deserve the respect and support with what he has produced in a decade. I make no apologises for pointing out a blatant issue with the team and for actually caring about the well being of the team I support in contrary to the obvious apologists on here that put Brooks getting a run over whether the team wins or not. Please grow some balls and call for his head when he inevitably fails again this year....or will his 12th season be his season?

Yeah all fair points and we all know it but he is our halfback, our playmaker, 'our only hope' (well one the major ones) so I'm saying lets get behind him.

It shouldn't be any of the new recruits getting the captaincy. I think Joe O, Brooksy or Doueihi.

It's gotta be Joffa surely. He'll lead and the new guys will rally behind him, When they were at the Meet and Greet in Brizzy, Joffa was kingdog, every player was following his lead.

If you've read the article about Brooks posted today in this thread, the comment from Doueihi suggests he is halfway out the door.

He did it in an unscripted interview earlier also. Go watch it.

His communication has really stepped up.

 

[Asu Kepaoa's #1 Fan]

If Moses signs we will have both the 2018 & 2019 halfbacks of the year,

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I don’t think it should be Brooks, he shouldn’t have any added pressure onto him his job should be just to play footy & show us what he’s worth. Joe O would be a good shout.

Pity it's 2023 🤪

The only issue is that he'll be off the field a lot. Brooksy and Doueihi will be on the park most of the time.

I dont think it's an issue mate, what you do on the sidelines and at training creates the culture... we're also assuming what your saying is correct too.
At this rate, Johny might be here just in time for the finals.

Joffa would be my choice,to me it honestly looks like he has found a club where he wants to become a part of the history and leave a positive mark
