If it is a swap for Reynolds, good bye Brooksy.

If it’s reliant on our recruiting team finding and actually signing someone , keep him.

Reynolds won’t be coming here
No chance

That’s my point. Neither will anyone of that calibre.
 
Thanks to everyone who voted and those who are still to vote. I was genuinely interested but funnily enough the result is what I expected. Two thirds of us have had enough. A third are happy to still have him representing them.

Whatever happens from here on in he sure has a lot to do win over those who have had enough.

Never a dull moment at the Wests Tigers

Good question to put forward.
Now do a BJ & Mybe poll lol
 
If Brooks was ever going to lead us into the top 8, he would have done it by now.

If the question was framed Who is happy to have Brooks at half next season, I guarantee the result would have been more overwhelmingly no and the third "happy to still him represent them" would drop significantly.

Similarly if your question was "who is happy to have Brooks at half next week" I guarantee you would have had more than 50% yes.
 
While I do agree Brooks has been below average... had 2 shocking games really, I can’t also help the fact that their are big issues in other places on field.
I say keep him because it’s only round 2, we’ve played 2 top teams, and only 1 game with the Brooks and AD pairing.
I know most of you all are going to disagree and Honestly, I can understand.
But it may be wishful thinking on my behalf but I’m hoping Brooks can adjust to the added pressure of leading the team and Madge can sort out our key defensive issues and we take more from the losses than just the L.

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.

He must have a big family because no Tigers supporter, with even just a tiny bit of knowledge of the game, would be supporting him right now.

There are many reasons why this team hasn’t fired or made the finals in recent years, but having Luke Brooks flounder around in the number 7 is the major one. We’ve tried changing just about everything and everyone except Brooks over recent times and we’re still the same inept team. There’s a common denominator here, the writing is on the wall, though about 4 years too late.

It’s Facebook. Any casual pleb can have an opinion


As opposed to the strict qualification requirements we have here?

This place isn’t perfect, but the opinions are a lot more edumacated

Very true, Facebook is a cesspool of ignorance - the endless whining about us getting rid of Benji, like he is the difference between us playing bad and good, make me puke.

Problem is, we'll get Josh back.

As ive already stated I was trying to gauge where the fan base sit on Luke Brooks the player. Wasn't really interested in the semantics of what the club does with him and how we handle it.

After the weekend I’m honestly not attached to any one player in the squad. I’d happily see them go if we could attract a premier replacement. It’s a pretty sad state.
 
Get over the Luke brooks propaganda.

Yes he done some bad things but was not alone.

I’d be more concerned with how useless douei was @ 6 in attack.

He’s only played 1 game .. bit harsh !

In those conditions it should have been a dour game 14-10 with 3 tries off kicks and one or two barge over efforts from dummy half. Not a day for five eighths to dictate. Instead our left edge made them look like the invincibles.

6 gets a pass but 7 gets crucified?

My criticism has been more aimed at #4 mate. Brooks and Noff came up with some rubbish though.

I understand that you are criticising the centre on the left edge but I find it ironic that in a thread crucifying Brooks, that someone (not picking on you) states "it wasnt the day for five eights to dictate".

I didn’t see Doueihi do anything too bad. Was just responding to someone calling him useless. Couple of ugly long kicks? From what I saw he didn’t let in 6 tries.

As Ive said in another thread, I think Brooks performance has taken the spotlight off Doueihi. I thought he had a poor game in attack (defended ok). Time will tell,
