Luke Brooks - Mega Thread

[Tiger5150]

It's nothing more than a vote of confidence.

Vote how you see fit and save the drama for your mumma


Says the bloke who asked Geo to delete posts that didnt meet "the rules"

Because I knew what was coming. Been reading this forum for years.

When confronted with a simple yes or no people like yourself fear the brutality of a simple question and try and divert the topic into another pointless debate. One that already exists.

The ambiguous question GUARANTEED discussion because it is so poorly framed.

Lol

Reality is those that are commenting have every right to comment. It is a forum. Correct.

Was just trying to not double up on threads about this issue when we already have that conversation active elsewhere.

If you feel the need to take focus off of the poll go right ahead.


Well if you would rather focus on the poll, it is a ridiculous poll and the results of the poll will be completely meaningless due to the weak nature of the poll.

Do You Want Luke Brooks in the Team Going Forward?

What does going forward mean? Next week? June? 2022?

Do We Want Luke Brooks in the Team, instead of who? Instead of Josh Reynolds? Yes. Madden? Yes, Luke KEary? No. Nathan Cleary? No. Flanagan? Yes.

Stupid poll gets stupid responses.

Pretty obvious that he means that all things considered, do you believe that the team should persist with him.


I dont think so at all.

For example....based on only the first two weeks, I would be looking to replace Brooks next year, but I would be picking him every week this year because there is no one better in the club.

Then vote yes and leave it at that. It's very simple


How is it that simple, I want them to replace him.

Its a poorly framed poll and will generate poor results.

As stated the poll was created to gauge the confidence of the fan base for the player in question. The debate about if he should see out his contract blah blah blah has been had elsewhere.

Hence the simple yes or no.

Its not simple.....do you mean next week, or next year. Two different questions, two different answers.

Look I know that there will be a lot of "its only two games in" or "halfback of the year in 2018" stuff, but honestly its be seven years of this banking on potential and hoping he delivers, after 150 games, if it hasn't shown yet, it never will. And 2018, yes he had a good year, but he ran the pill, others led the team around the park not him. Now its on him.

So do you sack him now or the end of the year? And replace him with?

 

[Russell]

Pearce is only on a one year contract at the Knights.

After he puts 50 on us this weekend, chuck a large amount of cash and a Pets Warehouse voucher at him.

If one were seen to do that - the next step would be Callen Park.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Big YES! Luke Brooks is about to realise his potential. Just you wait. Any day now.

 

[PJ_]

Voted no but really like brooksy.
Would put him at 6. We desperately need a 7.
Go get Reynolds Madge

 

[PJ_]

^^^^^ Just in case Madge is reading 😂😂

 

[bigsiro]

His goose is cooked. Definitely need to look into getting Adam Reynolds.

This ^ x a million

 

[bigsiro]

Go on facebook and you will get your answer straight away lol



Facebook has swung like the US Elections. All the supporters of Luke Brooks are out today.

Its probably about 70-30 in favour of letting him go over there but his defenders are coming out of the woodwork.

It’s his family. Has to be.

The club signed Madden from Newcastle for a reason, he might be wet behind the ears but he talks and there is only one fair way to see if he can cut it, give this young man a shot.
If not there are plenty of young halves coming on the market next year Dearden, Lewis, Tracey,Boyd,Clark, Johns and Hutchinson. Several journeyman too, Williams, Taylor, and Jacks . I'd avoid the older blokes looking for a few more years of easy street before they sail off into the sunset, Moylan, Green and A Reynolds. Think Braith or J Reynolds.

 

[bigsiro]

If you want brooks gone fine, but go to market and get him replaced by somebody you know will be better.

I’d rather play with 12 men out there.

One fair way to see if he can cut it, is to let him play in NSW Cup. He has had two games in NSW Cup. I watched the first one and he was poor in that game. I didnt see yesterdays game. If you are going to be good enough for first grade, you need to tear up in reggies. The game I saw, he barely looked good enough for REggies.

If not there are plenty of young halves coming on the market next year Dearden, Lewis, Tracey,Boyd,Clark, Johns and Hutchinson.

If we think Brooks is bad, Lewis Johns and Hutchinson are worse. They HAVE been tried.

Several journeyman too, Williams, Taylor, and Jacks .

I'd actually take the gamble with Ash Taylor.

Agreed.

 

[haberfield_tiger]

Douhie 7 . Mbye 6.. lets move on... Brooks back up 9 off to Reggie's to learn his new position.

Madden was OK yesterday, not great but adequate. I wouldn’t be replacing Brooks with Madden just yet.

Not to have a go at you Mike (more to point out the flaw in this poll) but I see you voted "no" to the poll. Who are you replacing him with?

No one immediately but I’d be shopping him around and at the same time looking who’s available.

 

[teddy23]

Big Brooks fan and know he has the potential but I can’t see him being a first choice half that’ll make us a contending team mainly due to his inconsistency

I love Brooks when he’s attacking the line and using his running game and want to see him as a second choice 5/8 sort of player, been pushing for that for a while

My opinion is that we go get ourselves a dominant half who’ll run the team and allow brooks to be the running 6 without much control which may allow him to play stress free and he can pick his spots on when to attack

Shift Doueihi back to centre and do NOT Re- sign BJ and then bring in a Adam Reynolds type half wirh Laurie at fullback and brooks at 5/8

What I’ve learned is Brooks isn’t the man that’ll lead us to the finals but he can defs still play a part just not as the captain of the ship as they may say

Exactly....so you and I have the same opinion, one voted yes, the other no, but the same opinion.
